The lack of clarity coming from the SEC is a problem for investors.
Back in June 2018, the SEC Chairman said “bitcoin is not a security” and it’s more like a currency replacement.
If it’s not a security, then why are we being taxed on Bitcoin as if it’s a security?
There is no taxation on currency trading or when you exchange the US Dollar for a Euro while traveling.
This seems like a great place to start. 5 Months have passed and no word not this issue.
Today we here from the SEC Chairman that an ETF may not pass due to the concern of manipulation—- hello — where have you been all year on 2018 manipulation?

The SEC has lost credibility on this issue. Bloggers have come forth and said ‘here is how they are manipulating Bitcoin” , but it’s not shutdown.
This is a much bigger issue.
Big money see’s a transition and they want to control every aspect, just like they do today.
