> Market manipulation schemes involving false information spread through electronic and social media


we're all going to jail

Lmao the normies are finally going to come into crypto.

This is a good thing.

kek literally everyone on this board is a criminal

Meh.

oh my god

this just doesn't really do much for me

I don't care if they regulate ICOs, all publicly traded companies already have to go through the same thing. Too many normies got scammed out of their money by shady ICOs like Gladiacoin it was only a matter of time before they got regulated

Aren't ICOs illegal in burgerstan anyway

Digits proves it's nothing

We are all going to jail

FUCKING YESSS. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SHIT. FINALLY ALL THESE SCAM COINS ARE BTFO

Not me Im not with you guys

THANKS JUST SOLD 100k

Gladiacoin was an HYIP not an ICO. There was no actual coin called gladiacoin, it was just the website name.

HYIPs will continue to exist. They are Ponzi schemes, of course, but given the fact that they're assumed to be untraceable they were completely illegal to begin with.

Are we selling btc and buying back in or what

So no more shilling? Great! Now we can all finally begin to talk about technologies in a civil, intelligent, and respectful manner.

Dunno man. Wat do goys?

I feel this is gonna crash the market like China FUD. Fuck we were just picking up again today too

Just sold 100k

GOTCHA BITCH

What are they going to do? Shut down Veeky Forums?

LOLOLOL

What should we do?

I wanna make money off this

Yeah I just sold all my BTC. No larp

PUT OUT YOUR SHORTS AND SPREAD FUD LIKE MAD

No more shilling allowed?
Waltons, Neos, Kybers on suicide watch.

Should I short the entire market??

Get your shorts up. Get on telegram groups. Get to work.

what?

bitcohen insider?

This guy is going to jailll

Cool it with the antisemitic posts

a literal cohencidence

ANSWER ME

OH SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT. THIS GUY IS IN TROUBLE.

US couldn't participate in ICOs anyway. This doesn't change a thing.

Should we cash out?!?

I mean even if it won't "change the market"

It won't be good for it at the very least. I'm not wrong am I?

>distributed ledger technology
this actually includes all crypto coins

They write themselves.

>the cyber unit

i will make a cake when they extradite money skeleton and jail him for life

Thank you based SEC for protecting me from massive ICO gainz

What would I do without your help

>They reflect the division’s continual efforts to pursue new forms of misconduct while keeping a watchful eye out for our Main Street investors,” said SEC Chairman Jay Clayton.
I THINK HE MEANT TO SAY "WALL STREET"

I'd love to be the guy that gets paid to shitpost wojaks on Veeky Forums all day.

kek

>plan out life as a millionaire
>get sent to federal prison instead

Why would anything good ever happen

Be prepared for a bunch of shitposters telling us how crypto is over.

I don't give a FUCK.

I'm. Not. Fucking. Selling.

why not?

ICOs...

he guys can they take my tokens away ?

The Fed is a joke, and I spent too much time (and lying) acquiring my holdings.

>shill MAGA coin on Veeky Forums
>Donald Trump sends you to prison
heh

No but they can tie you to a radiator and rape you.

they either refund you or cash out

Are you keeping everything? Like your whole portfolio or just btc?

Lol watch out guys the internet police is coming after us

can they really do anything about ICOs that have already ended?

Regulations>etf>normie influx

I'm ready to take their money

Maybe I can sell them my ICN bags

Fuck the sec faggots, I got in on the ethbet ico and I'd rather lose everything I put into it than be regulated for my own good. I want gains and I'll take the risk. Fuck off

>Lol watch out guys the internet police is coming after us

hahaha
hahahaah
hahahah
land of the free
hahahah
hahaahah
hhahaha, hows life in soviet america commies.

Everything.

This says nothing about ICOs, just a task force

can you read?

This. Finally. Less hype, more factual news.

Can you? It means scams.

Define a scam lol some people on here call Bitcoin a scam

I don't see any effect on the price yet. Usually we'd be dumping by now but I don't think FUD works anymore.

An average time for news to travel is around 4-5 hours.

Does that necessary mean distributed ledger technology and ICO's are violations?

Or violations in distributed ledger technology and ICO's like fraud and whatnot

IMAGINE THE COMFY CELL BLOCKS WHERE ALL /BIZ CONGREGATES

IMAGINE THE BANTZ

It's not a scheme though, I do it for free.

this is just as funny as the internet police meme.

these niggers couldn't trace this if they wanted too.

bye, Veeky Forums

The amount of fear idiots give to these incompetent retarded and honestly - perfectly moral to be killed or slaughtered - government faggots is troubling.

These idiots can't control fucking STREETS with manpower and guns, fuck they gonna do online?

LET ME GUESS

> ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE A.I. QUANTUM MACHINE LEARNING PATROL BOTS

Yeah sure thing buddey - we're very scared. Come get us.

>americucks

IMO posting satirical over the top shit and/or genuine discussion seems fine. Pump groups were never legal even when the market was totally unregulated. Look up the law against them and you'll see that it always applied

>have an empire as a drug lord without ever setting foot on the US: extradited
>have an empire of copyright piracy all over the world with no server on the US: extradited
>scam retard usaians of their shekels by the billions: ???

Yes, unless you're a millionaire. They're allowed to make money, us plebs aren't. I'm so fucking sick of this garbage.
>B-But people need to be protected from scams
No, they need to get bitchslapped with scams until they learn how to avoid them instead of the government coming in and dictating what they can and cannot buy with their own money(outside of shit like slaves obviously).

Now y'all can stop FUDing ChainLink and FUCK OFF.

I feel much safer knowing my investments are being watched over by Donald Trump.

Smart money would think that this "task force" is just a front for some shady shit that fucks over the public with red tape and exclusivity so fat rich men can get fatter.

Business as usual I guess.

First nonshit post I see on Veeky Forums

Holy fuck wow.

are you kidding i loved the "look for yourself" mentality

Found the Jew.

another thread full of low IQ inbred polposters

Well said. user

>Violations involving distributed ledger technology
What's wrong with ledgers? Can anyone fill me up on this because I'm planning to buy one.

Regulations to come

IRS: Any trading, wallet holdings, where capital gains are made, in any token/coin, will be taxable

SEC: American citizens must trade crypto on a centralized exchange, in order to maintain the fairness, integrity and compliance with laws and regulations.

What took you so long?

Doesn't this also mean Monero will become more popular since it's untraceable?

Do these people have nothing better to do

Are you seriously this retarded

Good, no more shitcoins. Buy XMR instead.

HAHA! You guys are all fucked. I made a plea deal and ratted you all out! As part of the deal, I get to keep my crypto gains. Brb going to Lamboland.

have fun in the pokey
