[6:17:02 PM] Wendell: What big companies are actually *issuing* tokens?
[6:17:07 PM] Wendell: SWARM… Who else?
[6:17:15 PM] Wendell: Is SWARM even incorporated?
[6:17:52 PM] Xavier  Hawk: Hmmm....CP, Bitshares, Swarm, mastercoin,
[6:18:09 PM] Xavier  Hawk: Ethereum
[6:18:13 PM] Gavin Knight: ethereum would be a likely target do to the mass volume, but they seemed to have tight legal
[6:18:17 PM] Xavier  Hawk: Storj
[6:18:23 PM] Xavier  Hawk: Maidsafe
[6:18:29 PM] Michael Sullivan: US companies
[6:18:32 PM] Evan Stern: Starts with a V
[6:18:41 PM] Xavier  Hawk: Dogeparty
[6:18:46 PM] Gavin Knight: I think you should differentiate between a protocol, and a company issuing tokens
[6:18:55 PM] taariq lewis: Well, rumor is that after this action there will be NO MORE BITCOIN EXCHANGEs in USA.
[6:19:18 PM] taariq lewis: sux. There's only 1 left.
[6:19:40 PM] Evan Stern: Wut.
[6:20:02 PM] Shawn D Kennedy: 1?
[6:20:13 PM] Shawn D Kennedy: in the US?
[6:20:26 PM] Shawn D Kennedy: Bittrex, Poloniex and Cryptsy...
[6:20:35 PM] Gavin Knight: they don't deal with USD
[6:20:39 PM] Gavin Knight: except cryptsy
[6:20:49 PM] Gavin Knight: exchange in the us is just not practical when dealing with USD, which is why coinbase doesn't function as such. Tether/Realcoin is aiming to integrate USD on the blockchain.
[6:21:03 PM] Nick Rathman: cryptsy is probably a likely target
[6:21:13 PM] Xavier  Hawk: I went by there office in Delray fl
[6:21:17 PM] Xavier  Hawk: It was empty
[6:21:21 PM] Xavier  Hawk: They have a secret office somehwere
[6:21:31 PM] Xavier  Hawk: Lol
[6:21:49 PM] Gavin Knight: I met the CEO and someone else awhile ago, decent people. I don't think they are their full-time, but have 24/7 support
[6:22:59 PM] Gavin Knight: taariq what was the source?
[6:23:17 PM] Xavier  Hawk: Yeah T any other horrible things? Lol
[6:23:43 PM] taariq lewis: One of our advisors. I can't divulge the name, but they were very clear that action is coming after all the rumors and that the Feds will make a statement about this industry.

wonder how trustworthy the sources are?

Fuckoff

[UnicornFarts]

Fuckoff

more FUD to jerk off on the weekends, mmmh great.

Wow.  I think self moderated threads should be the default.

Any input from people with critical thinking skills about the sources?  I've never seen the names before but was able to find them on linkedin (which is more credibility than many / most forum posters)

[Wulfcastle]

I don't see anything interesting, someone fill me in.

This is why you don't use anything that could be confused as "shares" of anything yet. Even though this current post is probably bullshit, it's a good idea to be extra careful

[iampingu]

What I got from this thread is that somewhere there's a castle inhabited solely by cryptsy workers, throwing those who find them out, into a dungeon, giving them free shitcoins with no exchange support, until they just go insane.
