RE: A Balanced Perspective on Accredited Investing
It cannot be a security if the Token is owned and controlled by more than 50% , it would pass the Howey test.

Could you elaborate on exactly what you mean? If the token is owned and controlled by more than 50% of whom? I just read your piece on the SEC ruling and Howey test and liked it a lot.
Is the Howey test unique to Australia.
I also followed you but laughed that you put your DOB as your description in your profile. That's unique :)
@stephenrowlison actually has a pretty good post outlining some points about the SEC rulings here. https://steemit.com/blockchain/@stephenrowlison/ico-design-and-sec-rulings He briefly explains the Howey test as well. It's based on an American court case from the 40s. A Floridian farm wanted to sell tracts of land to non-farmer investors and the SEC got involved and (eventually) the Supreme Court ruled that the parcels of land are securities.
I will check it out. I followed Stephen. But I did give him trouble about his DOB as his interesting fact. But then he's an Aussie and I am a displaced South African so we have to give each other some shit.
