So many people have heard the news about Texas state securities placing a cease & desist order against Bitconnect. The Texas state securities has been successful in stirring people into a frenzy against Bitconnect with pitch forks and torches. The problem is that folks don’t understand the underlying problem with what is truly going on here.

I am very passionate about this subject since it affected me directly. I wanted to invest in a startup and was denied. The startup is in full operation now and returns from proceeds of sales after expenses is around 200% annually. It was the “Securities Act of 1933” that prevented me from investing. The minimum investment was $10,000, but to invest, I had to prove that my net worth was over one Million dollars (not including my primary residence). A loss of $10,000 wasn’t going to hurt me, but I could not show my net worth was over one Million dollars. You see, the rich have put in legal measures to prevent most Americans from accessing these good opportunities leaving these opportunities only to the Elite... So that they can get richer

Let’s save the bitconnect discussion for a different blog and examine what is behind this securities endeavor being pushed by the Elite.

The “Securities Act of 1933” was established because of the stock market crash of 1929. The legislation had two main goals: to ensure more transparency in financial statements so investors can make informed decisions about investments; and to establish laws against misrepresentation and fraudulent activities in the securities markets.

Understand that way back in the 1920’s, many people did not have an education. Education or not, access to information to aid in an informed decision sometimes was not made available or was deceitful. The intent of the securities act was to create government overview and require government approval before a company can raise funds. Lack of education or valuable information is not the case today. Education is common and people have an unbelievable wealth of access to information compared to the 1920’s.

So why is the Securities Act of 1933 still around? Somewhere along the way, the Securities act was manipulated to prevent anyone without significant wealth to even be allowed to participate in investing.

Have you heard the saying "rich get richer and the poor get poorer"? Well this is how they do it. The Securities Act of 1933 legally prevents common people from investing and allows only the Elite to participate in the most lucrative investments out there. It makes no difference how much you are informed or how much education and experience you have. It is against the law for you to participate if your net worth is below one million dollars. Is that fair? NO!!!

The underlying issue here is the Elite only want the best opportunities for themselves without any competition. If competition was available, then there would be more investors and gains would be less. The Elite are getting away with it legally. Americans are fooled into believing that government is looking out for their best interest. Now that cryptocurrency is providing an avenue for Americans to invest and grow wealth at the same rate as the wealthy, it has become a threat to the Elite. Now the Elite will have to work harder to find promising investment opportunities and their gains will be less. Bitconnect is a stepping stone for the securities commission. Next it will be other cryptocurrency opportunities. Eventually along the way, it will be Steemit.

The SEC will make criminals out of law abiding citizens
What happens when Steem doubles, triples, quadruples again???? The SEC will attempt to shut down Steemit. Just like Bitconnect, they will not stop Steemit, but instead will make participating for Americans an illegal activity… Unless their individual net worth is over one Million dollars…

Please remember to VOTE and ReSteem

If the Securities act of 1933 was intended to establish laws against misrepresentation and fraudulent activities in the securities market, I wonder how this justifies endless number of government bailouts for financial banking and investment institutions when they royally screw up. The poor lost everything and the financial institutions continue to get money poured in so that they can conduct business as usual. Let’s not forget the CEO’s that receive multi-million dollar golden parachute payouts for making their company go down the drain.

Let's not forget Bernie Madoff. Where was the SEC then? Doesn't seem like the SEC is effective at all at protecting the people. The real goal of the SEC is to protect the financial growth of millionaires. I hope this blog opens everyone's eyes on this reality.

Less than 5% of Madoff’s 50 Billion Ponzi scheme is in the process of being recovered. For those sentenced to jail time after committing financial crimes, they enjoy tennis benefits in the white collar section of jail.

So lets say I am a young guy, in his 20's and 30's who is educated and has savings to invest. Am I less capable of making a decision than a 20 year old who has inherited $millions but is a surfing bum? Having the right family can get you a long way without a brain, look at PM Tredeau.

In the scenario that you presented, you are in a great position to learn about investing and making sound decisions on your own. In fact, investment advisors generally recommend investment products that fatten their commission check that includes front loaded mutual funds where you immediately start with less than what you walked in with. Regards @senseicat

You got it. To be honest, the surfing bum will waste away the inheritance. With the exception of lazy inheritance babies, the wealthy know how to grow wealth. It is by no accident that they have manipulated ways to guarantee them the top opportunities.

Is not hard to guess why, you can't stay at the top if the stop is full, bitcoin wealth is unprecedented and need to be "controller" to what purpose? well those can be invented or created, before bitcoin, people could only invest trough institutions, now they can do it with just a click. Great article @socky.

This whole situation resembles a concentration camp and you are absolutely right that these aligarchic forces will not simply calm down and continue their inquisition further. Therefore, we all need to prepare for this and discuss measures to counter them. Thank you @socky and keep us informed of what's happening!

You see, the rich have put in legal measures to prevent most Americans from accessing these good opportunities leaving these opportunities only to the Elite...

Sad, but true. And, keeping the ‘common man’ fighting amongst themselves over irrelevant differences, make for a grand distraction.

so investors can make informed decisions

Sure…like those who ‘invest’ in their education with zero collateral, and zero job/guarantee of a job, creating the student-loan-debt bubble…

manipulated to prevent

People leave 4-8 years of college with a debt so insurmountable that it literally prevents many the ability to invest in what matters; i.e. real estate, etc.

Now that cryptocurrency is providing an avenue for Americans to invest and grow wealth at the same rate as the wealthy, it has become a threat

Yes, it almost seems like the BTC- reality was genuinely considered a myth.

Eventually along the way, it will be Steemit.

It shall be interesting for sure.

I think the people who "will" benefit the most from crypto have already done so. I also project that in a decade or so, the 2 a.m. regulations will be voted into place, causing many loopholes to be put in place to stop the flow of crypto.

Great post!

Peace.

Wow...such a wonderful and interesting topic by @socky sir

wow, didnt know about the 1933 securities act, quite an unfair thing. it seems to me that the main purpose of such acts is to make it illegal for the non-elites to become richer and wealthier...

The Securities Act of 1933 is not fair the time now changed and it is not fair to keep the law as it is. Or change it Or throw it away!

wow, didnt recognize about the 1933 securities act, pretty an unfair component. it seems to me that the primary reason of such acts is to make it unlawful for the non-elites to end up richer and wealthier...
