Here in the Netherlands cryptos are just considered untaxed goods, used as an investments. So no special laws apply to it.

So you just pay 1,2% savings tax over it once a year and thats it.
No profit tax, no vat, no currency regulations, no big deal.

That's every ICO. SEC has defined any ICO that doesn't use their tokens in their software is illegal.

Which is why many new ICOs are blocking all US residents and requiring identification in order to purchase, to prove that you're not a US resident.

People of America have the right to get scammed. It's the free market. If people can't do their own research and are controlled by greed, it's deserved. People are getting to babied by the government and need to go back to being an individual. This dependence on the government is an issue that's not going to get resolved. But it will continually make the rich richer, as the rich are not dependent on the government, the way the poor are.
