We've all heard the speculation regarding government regulations and interventions especially in the case of alt coins, "shares" etc.

How do you think that is going to shake out?

Some have argued that many of these "opportunities" are securities and as such will be regulated by the US Government for being unregistered securities.

Do you think this is the case? How do you think it will potentially impact things moving forward?

  We are going to see regulators crack down on this stuff really hard and try to send a very clear message.

  Hopefully it will be good regulation and we'll see all these companies and projects take off. I feel a lot of them are waiting to see how the regulations will affect their projects.

  I think we have a ton of stuff just waiting in the wings. Do you think some bad players will exit when some kind of rulings happen?

  Absolutely, I'm not sure it will have a major impact but I would expect some of the people impacted by any sort of action would sell some at least to defend themselves and that could put some downward pressure on the markets.

  If its a regulation to help CC, it will only brings more people to use it. If its a regulaiton to stop CC, Price will drop and we'll see a lot of false statement about CC to keep people away from them

  I think we are going to see movement against companies that have been offering securities recently.

  On a positive note, any regulation imposed will lend legitimacy to cryptocurrency as a whole. The fact that they are even spending time trying to figure out how to regulate businesses in the space makes a statement by itself.

  "Do you think that will impact the BTC price?"

  Who do you think the bearwhale could have been or what letter from the SEC or other goverment authority did the bear whale read? People "in the know" about the shake up have already sold, the news is already somewhat priced in, hince the current bear market. However this is 100% conspiracy theory as I have zero evidence.
