With gyrations like that and one hour order execution lag there isn't a regulator in the world that wouldn't halt that market. Comparing this to investing in a roulette game would be unfairly characterizing the risks in roulette.

- cmutty 13y agoand just wait for the SEC to reverse their recent no action decision when the people on the losing end start crying foul.

- sneak 13y ago...in your country, maybe. Bitcoin runs on IP and FinCEN isn't everywhere.
- antr 13y agoPlease, follow the conversation. We are talking about the SEC and users crying foul. Not the impact bitcoin will have today, or tomorrow.
- sneak 13y agoDoes it really matter which US-based regulatory body I'm dismissing as irrelevant? The long-term impact of Bitcoin is way bigger than any one country or culture.
- CodeCube 13y agoI'm actually really curious, how could the SEC (or any agency) take any action here? Sure, they can make rules that say you shouldn't trade bitcoins, or maybe even threaten fines ... but for someone who doesn't care to report their activity, is there any way to be "Stopped" from doing so?
- cmutty 13y agoBy no means am I a securities or legal expert but the SEC has authority to regulate any marketplace, exchange, or "investment opportunity" to ensure investors are protected from fraud.
