       | VC's and cryptocurrency feel as if they have now finished their
       | convergence to be nothing more than the latest sophisticated and
       | legal forms of ponzi schemes where those at the bottom of the
       | pyramid are holding the bag. While not knocking the usefulness of
       | this article and accompanying tool, it just shows how far we've
       | strayed from putting the highlight and focus on builders and
       | visionaries that these funds must have to latch on to.

         | If you use twitter (don't recommend) you'll see this opinion is
         | widely held. People self-describe as "VCs" with funds of less
         | than a million and/or who provide "funding" of less than 20K.
         | Crazy times!

         | were and aren't illegal
         | 
         | Which disclosure paragraph was missing in the 80 pages of
         | disclosures
         | 
         | Which notice wasn't filed with a securities regulator
         | 
         | And then simply doing the exact same actions compliantly
         | 
         | There is only so much the state can do for investors that want
         | to move money
