Messaging app firm @Kik has launched a crypto crowdfunding campaign to support a likely court battle with the U.S. SEC over its ICO token, kin. https://t.co/Yz3nuYnaOF

Everyone is always asking “how will regulators apply decades-old laws to a new technology?” instead of “how can we create new laws to unleash innovation?”

Is it me or is the new "Howey test" code for "let us do whatever we want because god forbid we have to follow securities laws in things that we are selling as securities"?

Because I find the Howey test reasonable, its a "if it quacks like a duck" sort of test. https://t.co/aX2RPcEU4V
