Chaos is coming. The regulators are about to crack down on Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). The Token Exchange Self-Regulating Body (TXSRB.org) is trying to get ahead of this by helping the industry to clean up its act before the regulators take down half the industry.
ICOs are completely out of hand. People are raising insane sums of money by misleading newly rich crypto investors... then making off with huge chunks of the funds. Often there is nothing behind these ICOs but a kid in her parent's basement.
This could cause panic in the industry if exchanges start delisting everything out of an abundance of caution - or plain fear of being shut down by regulators.
So the TXSRB is aiming to head off this disaster by taking the following steps:
- Working to clarify what is clearly not a security according to the Howey Test, i.e.,
-- Did people make and investment?
-- Is there a common enterprise?
-- Did they expect a growth outcome? - Publishing a Clean Token List of coins that fit that non-security category.
- Providing free guidance to all ICO issuers on how to clean up and pass the test.
- Providing consulting services to clean up Toxic ICOs.
- Eventually publishing their much longer Black List of ICO's that need to clean up and clean up fast.
are on the Clean Token List
This is a huge vaccination against uncertainty and delisting that could impact prices.
John Gotts and Michael Taggart did a watershed interview where they explain all this here:
This will both shake up and ultimately save the industry during the next three months.
Pay attention.

Keep it clean: Bitcoin, Bitshares, Steem and EOS. It's all the crypto you need to diversify and grow wealth: you have the crypto equivalent of Gold, Stock Market, Facebook and Apple. What more do you need? No worries about your investment suddenly being worth zilch because the SEC shuts it down... and no worries about the SEC knocking on your door. BBSE FTW!

I am wondering is it really a good time to invest in Bitcoin considering its price is reaching $5000 as it could mean I lose my investment if prices go down. I am new to crypto currency and really want to invest in some good concurrency. I was searching for a profitabble mining crypto currency and found about Steemit here https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/4lbv3q/easiest_currency_to_mine_on_a_shitty_computer/ and gave it a try today and I am really happy I chose it. I wish I knew about it earlier but you know its never too late to get started!

@shivgre it's a good time i think that's that from price correction it's too much of a bull market but bitcoin is not a stock i am a long time in bitcoin and i heard that ''bubble'' stories when it was 200$.. it will grow massive for a few more years, this is a best crypto for the next 10-20 years.. digital gold.. look what is happening with real gold..but it is under regulations of a deep state so they manipulate price few times so they can accumulate it in FED... but gold will still grow

I 100% agree with you. The problem is, the bigger it gets, the clunkier it becomes and the more power it needs to create bitcoins. Also, it's a confidence game. Your currency is worth money only because of the confidence it can attract. Once that goes, there is nothing to shore up the value. There are too many players in the cryptocurrency market that provide a better alternative to what Bitcoin offers for Bitcoin to continue to increase in value. Its primary function, now, is the ability to buy other cryptocurrency with it, but if Bitcoin's value sinks, other cryptocurrencies will too. It's a standard against which other cryptocurrencies have been measured, too, but they can also be measured against $US. In the recent price plummet, I notice that Ripple (XRP) barely lost value, same with Neo. These coin offerings have real life application. If Bitcoin goes down, they all will. And they'll be replaced by a newer model, that's measured against something else. Bitcoin is a currency. I seriously think the Neo model is the way forward - where the coins are shares in the business.

The purchasing value of one 1913 dollar is actually estimated at around $0.02 today. The HERO is a interesting proposition for ppl that'd love 5%pa - guaranteed and collateralised by a 2:1 BTS ratio - anyway, lots of youtube and Steem advice about the HERO - see @stan. You can also short the HERO into existence. Cheers

Would a banker.. buy 1 billion worth of stock of another bank.. and earn no shares of the profit?
He would simply sit on those shares.. until another person came along and gave him 2 billion?
Thats why all these shit coins failed.
These ICO's have given us the chance to invest into start up businesses online.
That is where the real power is at, imo.

I am very excited to see this after watching Lawsky preach regulation from the pulpit then leave his gov job and start a Bitcoin consulting agency. Crony. We do need to self regulate, however this list is a little misleading. I get why the tokens are deemed "clean" but these coins have already ICO'd. It doesn't really address high risk vs low risk ICO's. Perhaps a weighted system is need as well as previous ICO and exit success. This is also why I basically invest in anything @ccedk ICO's on the openledger.io exchange.

I think self regulation is a great way to prevent harsh government interceptions. Currently, the government's cannot really do anything about ICOs, because they don't really understand them and are slow to adapt. But we cannot let them take them all away, they helped and still help to create wonderful projects that actually work (like Ethereum).
It is great to know that an non-governmental organ is helping to get ICOs on the clean side of things and prevent them from being banned all together.

Let's stop letting governments overregulation ICO'S, this sucks because they will just ruin the opportunities of investment by high taxes but at the same time a little bit of regulation is needed as there are a lot of schemes like Controlled Finance... I am glad the community is noticing a lot of things that may happen in the future with cryptocurrencies! :)

Every time i open up my Facebook feed it shows tons of ICO's. Each time is a new one, never repeating. It is insane. You can check out coingecko's ICO tracker. There are tons and more appear each day. In fact, i think most of the ICO's are just a simple website with nothing behind them. There are some legit ones, but you can clearly see a trend here...

ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is like IPO (Initial Price Offering) in Wall Street. As of matter of fact, I think they got the idea from Wall Street. The difference between both is just one: when Wall Street offers an IPO, they sellect the people, who usually are rich people. When an ICO is offered online anybody can participate if they believe in the project and get to know of it. So, for you not to be a victim of a scam, you need to do your own investigation and decision. If SEC tries to investigate each ICO, I can see them working hard, which is not precisely what they have been doing in the past. I believe more that there were some complaints and they will be investigating them. SEC wants people to go through them, and there are many people who think they should not go through them. So, this is a battle. If I am in USA, I will try to go through them. But if I am in another country, let's say Cuba creating an ICO for my country, I don't have to go through them, and they cannot investigate me. The same will be with Russia and other countries.

This is a great idea. Reminds me a bit of the vaping industry. Those who managed to get ahead of the regulations and begin to self regulate are the companies still in business and continuing to prosper dispite the new regulations. Have an external party that is helping verify coins with a good "bill of health" will be a powerful tool for preparation efforts.

Great Post Stan. The Integrated Engineering Blockchain Consortium has been approached by several ICO seeking endorsement. We measure a coin based on intrinsic value according to engineering standards. This is Novel. We would like to know more about the TXSRB. Let me know how we can help.

La intención es muy buena ya que actualmente existe mucha especulación en el mercado de las criptodivisas, pero personalmente creo que estas regulaciones dependerán de los gobernantes de cada nación y veo que es muy difícil que se pongan de acuerdo, ya que algunos países están a punto de ir a la guerra.

Indeed the numbers of ICO are growing exponentially both in terms of how many products are being "created" (within double quotes as in if they do really make it) and also the amount of money being invested into them. I believe refulating this is definitely a move in the right direction!

Keep it clean: Bitcoin, Bit shares, Ste em and EONS. It's all the crypt you need to diversify and grow wealth: you have the crypt equivalent of Gold, Stock Market, Facebook and Apple. What more do you need? No worries about your investment suddenly being worth zilch because the SEC shuts it down... and no worries about the SEC knocking on your door. BASE FEW!

Great post! Nice to see the situation and solution summarized in this way. Personaly I think there are still ICO oppertunities to keep an eye out for as well, such as Bowhead which is a well worked-out platform for safely sharing and storing medical document which the user has control of). But I'll be definitely taking your advice and be focussing my efforts towards Bitcoin, BitShares and Steemit. Thank you!
