Is Nintendo selling unregistered securities?? What makes this card not a security?

>> No.55272963

No, Nintendo is a registered company who has a giant legal team that ensures that raising capital and their shares are registered with every country they are traded in.

Nintendo is a registered company, but the card is an unregistered security, there is an expectation of profit

Ripple is also a "registered company", that doesn't have any bearing on whether your company is selling unregistered securities such XRP or reverse holofoil Jigglypuff.

>>55272963
Doesn't matter. According to the SEC in their coinbase lawsuit, if you sell something that isn't as security, if you don't insure the buyer is purchasing for non-investment purposes it turns into a security and you have committed securities fraud.

If you sell pokemon cards to someone who is buying them as investments you have committed securities fraud according to the SEC.

Just like how coins who had completely, 100% legal ICOs, registered with the SEC and having followed all laws and the tokens themselves are 100% confirmed NOT securities, because coinbase sold them to people who were buying them as investments, coinbase's sales are securities.

According to SEC of course, they will lose in court many years from now.

Yep. Ebay, and anyone who sells on ebay. Also, many people buy cheap products from Walmart and resell them from profit online. Since walmart doesn't check whether you are buying their goods for non-investment purposes, Walmart is committing massive securities fraud. Walmart needs to implement purchase limits like Coinbase to make sure people aren't investing in goods if there is inflation.

American lawmakers and their financiers want to kill crypto; they are attacking the weakest links, organizations that emitted stuff that could be considered securities and have to spend copious amounts of money over years that could last a decade on lawyers to proof them wrong or pay fines and fuck off from the liquid market that is the US forever; and you engage in pointless attempts to convince anons that this isn't the case.

It doesn't matter. Bitcoin, shitcoins, w/e, read the SEC lawsuite, they are saying that selling anything where buyers are buying for investment purposes, they are saying that sale is a security. Not shitcoins, not bitcoin. The SEC wants to establish that any good can be a security if someone is buying it as an investment. They didn't name bitcoin, they names a few coins, but they said it wasn't limited to the coins and if you read their logic it would apply to literally anything even outside of crypto. Especially in an inflationary environment where almost anything could be seen as an "investment." If the SEC wins the case, they would have total control over what people are allowed to buy.

Not really, coinbase has the money to fight, and foreign exchanges don't really give a shit. And again, its about the exchange, the SEC hasn't done anything recently about going after shitcoins. In fact most alt coins actually do have legal ICOs these days. This is more about just smearing crypto IMO to curb adoption as part of a political agenda passed on from higher up to Gensler.

>> No.55274021

You're a retard. A security has to be equivalent to shares in a company, where the expectation of profit comes from that companies continued delivery of work.

Blockchains that aren't sufficiently decentralised, either in terms of validation but also in terms of independent development not tied to the issuer of the crypto currency, could be considered to be attempting to circumvent their legal duties to shareholders by calling themselves a blockchain and their shares cryptocurrency when in reality, they're actually just a tech company selling a highly speculative non performant token with no real world use case, whose value is based on a ponzi scheme or greater fool. It's well within the SEC's remit to ascertain who is a legitimate cryptocurrency project and who is a security masquerading as one.

>they are going after the exchanges who sell coins,
The attack vector is multiple. Gary is doing a classic pincer movement. Its against cexes, that are not licensed to sell unregistered securities or securities, and an attack on the assumed unregistered securities.
>Not really, coinbase has the money to fight,
And they are going to fight for how long? 10 years in which Gary and is successors can just grind them and grind them until they are broke or settle and do a cease and desist?
>This is more about just smearing crypto IMO to curb adoption as part of a political agenda passed on from higher up to Gensler.
Possible, sounds like a conspiracy theory. There might be hints, but not proofs and even proofing it wont do any good, because shitcoin devs and shitcoin exchanges have no reliable allies

Wut? We are talking about public distributed ledgers, there is no value for nation states in them, the opposite. The only value internally is control over the citizens spending of units of accounts, and that is better done on closed private networks controlled by those nation states, not random third parties, let alone the citizens themselves or parties outside those nations. The only public distributed ledger that could have any value for states is btc, and that only if the current international situation and competition persists, or if smart players that don't do 5 year plans in an unpredictable environment manage to get themselves heard

Tokens can't be used as shares because ownership isn't controlled by a single entity, share ownership has to be registered by a centralized company. A token is controlled by a distributed network of peers that may or may not adopt any change the original devs propose or other people may implement changes the original devs have no control over. Tokens are clearly, 100% commodities and the SEC has conceded that in court. No token has even been declared a security, only ICO or similar where devs take money before the protocol or tokens even exist, that transaction is obviously more like a security.

I don't care about your social credit score digital currency control meme, my point is any power hungry goblin in their right mind is not going to leave money and international influence on the table. They will make the money to gain power or they will let someone else make the money to gain power. US citizens don't even enter the equation. "US" banking institutions and market makers will participate in BTC even if they bar their citizens from participating because they have no choice. Therefore BTC is not going anywhere, and if BTC floats then other cryptocurrencies float. Whether mutt retail can buy them or not.

It's entirely conceivable that mutts are disallowed from participation in crypto and corralled into a digital or more weaponized version of a traditional banking system that freezes their accounts if they didn't suck a trannies dick or whatever. Who cares. US backed institutions must still compete for crypto market share, they cannot ignore it. It's not going anywhere until global societal collapse occurs.

The difference is that WOTC and Nintendo didn’t keep 30% of first edition Charizards and shill them with mmarketing teams as investments, offer a yield on them, or sell large amounts to retail buyers for markups.

The crypto problem isn’t a matter of securities anyway. Staking caused this by offering a better return than banks were offering, risking damaging the infrastructure they worked so hard to build, so “they” had to send the SEC.

How are sports cards not a security? They are even worse! A rookie card comes out with a signature and people overtly buy it as an investment hoping the player does well, in concert with the league and the card manufacturer (Upper Deck or whatever) so they can sell it for more later. Investment of money in a common enterprise with an expectation of profit from the efforts of others. Literally fits the Howie Test.
