I think that bitcoin will be pumped to 100 000$ without any hook and after that it will be released for masses.
It will be STO (Security Token Offering) or "AI coins".
STO - tokens that are not "utility tokens" as others but securities. Owning them makes you "shareholder". You will get weekly/monthly/annually rewards which will be equal to part of company incomes and it will be guarantee due to smart contract... This will be huge.
prolly you are right, there is a lot of buzz about STO in last months..
I haven't kept up with the STO phenomenon. With "utility token" ICOs the issuers were clearly trying to dodge securities laws so they could openly offer the tokens to anyone.
Since a STO is obviously a security offering, how do most of them approach US investors? Do they only allow accredited investors, or otherwise prohibit them? Accredited investor status is not easy to achieve for regular retail folks.
