#Howey

People should understand that companies going forward will just issue crypto tokens instead of deal with the securities regulations that have protected investors for a century. There will be no disclosure of things like income, assets, ownership structure, and risks.

The #SEC has already changed the rules so that a company that wants to issue a token to raise money can just say "this is not a security and thus is unregulatable" and if the SEC does not object within 60-90 days then that company is in the clear permanently.

Mark my words, we're going to see #SpaceX, #Tesla, #OpenAI, and all the other opaque private companies burning insane amounts of money issuing tokens in the not to distant future.

Howey’s Silo Series of books has an interesting premise. There are sections that I thought were well-executed. But ultimately there are too many holes in his plot for it to be successful for me.

I’m glad I took the time to read the books. I’m very curious to see how Graham Yost deals with the plot’s problems for the remaining two seasons. He’s already substantially changed the role of some of the characters who play roles in the first and third book.

I was going to treat myself, and purchase the Audible book of Hugh #Howey's "Dust" novel, the 3rd in the silo series. Have read all of them, and own the other 2, thought it would be good to have the set.

I was presented with a price of $25.50 for the audio book. I gasped, and then looked around. If I was willing to sign up for their damned Audible membership, I could get 1 credit (good for 1 book) for $14.95, the usual cost of an audio book at Amazon. Of course, I could use the credit, and then cancel the membership.

I didn't. This is Amazon desperately trying to game their numbers for their shareholders.

How does the SEC argue that operates as an unregistered broker, even if it falls outside the Test's scope?

SEC sues over Howey Test and registration. Debate centers on security definitions Coinbase claims clarity is lacking.

@acemaxxanalytics Fun fact: #crypto being a #security in the sense of #Howey formally requires that “investment” therein involves a “reasonable expectation of profits”, implying the lawsuit ironically qualifies as an implicit endorsement of #cryptocurrencies. Before “investing” any money in crypto, consult a professional financial advisor - there might be other investment prospects that you haven’t considered and suit your needs better.

"The has generally submitted projects to the so-called test—by which every asset sold with the promise of profits deriving from someone else’s efforts qualifies as a security—and has slapped major players with lawsuits and fines for selling tokens to the public without abiding by securities law. ... “Cryptocurrency issuers aren’t providing those , and and speculators are getting harmed.” wired.com/story/cryptos-free-r
