And it hasn't helped that regulators for the past 40 years have been afraid of "Stifling innovation", and so when something is so clearly old-school fraudulent but wrapped in technobabble they do NOTHING.
How much grief could the SEC have solved by just going after every early ICO as being an unregistered security?

Stupid question: how is this not purely functional? Its a vertical mount ferrule (vents only on the top) with an alignment pin.
