To whom it may concern,
Greetings. Though I am supposing that investment regulations and restrictions are intended to protect investors, in this particular case I do not think so. For years I feel that potential investors like myself have been "in the dark" and left out regarding traditional investments. Crypto-currency has made it possible and accesible for people like me to

People are maxing out their credit cards or taking out personal loans to frequently buy high risk and low return investments! Selling options on volatility
1) SEC regulations are very confusing and at times it appears as though there isn't an actual run book that staff use before concluding if something is a security or currency.

What FINRA is proposing is class discrimination. You want only the privileged and wealthy to have access to income earning instruments, while the “little” guy/gal is being stripped of their ability to access the same instruments the wealthy have to build wealth. I welcome more education on these products, but NOT bans. Honestly, every so called financial advisor has only tried to scam me. I have
I have no use for regulations that limit my investment choices. Free will and freedom to choose is essential to my American way of life. Authorities who make believe that they know more about me than I know about myself have exceeded the limits of government of the people, by the people, for the people. Authoritarians war against my freedom of choice and in no way represent my own best interests
