Creative Truth. I always appreciate your thoughts!

The steemit vote buying is being combatted by @grumpycat and a coalition of whales who downvote/flag bad operators. It's not an official constitution, it's the community acting in it's own best ineterst.

EOS will have an official constitution that is written and will be updated along the way. Same concept, but more clear.

As far as US investors, I've heard of people still buying EOS tokens. The rumor is a US investor can just buy the token on Biance and leave it on the exchange. Binance will turn it into the official EOS token when mainnet launches. If you did KYC on Binance this may not work.

The other thing I've heard of people doing is registering their EOS wallet on the eos website using a VPN. Essentially they hide their IP address so it doesn't show it coming from the US.

The regulators look at the company Selling the tokens. Have they done their due diligence to shut out US investors and follow the rules.

The regulators care far less about individuals who buy the security. They are trying to protect the people on the buy end, if that makes sense.

No breaking the law is never advised. haha. Some people in crypto have a higher risk tolerance than others. In fact a lot of the crypto community has a very high risk tolerence, so I think this seems small to them. Just my guess.

Cheers brotha. Have a great day
