And they do it all in the name of "protecting" people.
Ugh. So frustrating. I get that we should care for those who can't care for themselves, but at some point... I dunno. It just seems like the "threats of violence" approach is such a terrible one. Maybe they see ICO space similar to predatory lenders giving out mortgages they know people can't pay back. That's a stretch though because speculative investing should only involve money people can afford to lose. If they get burned a time or two to learn that lesson, should that be okay? It's almost like government is still trying to be everyone's mommy and daddy. Let's all grow up instead.
you described it best: "integrity of the markets" sounds to me like "things we can control."
