Hello to everyone, today i will be mostly talking about the governance of SteemPower Investments. This is something that i have received a comments about and i think it would be important to start and explore how this project should be set up before the tax man comes knocking. Being as i am from the UK (NI) and most tokens holders are not, things are not easy when it comes to regulation and international laws. I am no expert and will not pretend to be, but im a hard worker and ihave no problem putting the hours in required to read, learn and do whats required. I really truly believe that this project will make a ton of money long term so anything should be done properly from the start.
My suggestion
This is just a suggestion based on my very limited knowledge, it can be amended are completely changed. This is more of a feeler idea to get some feedback and see what people think of the idea.
Set up as - An Investment Club
I am going to suggest this because it looks much easier and cheaper than going other routes. An investment club is also going to be naturally more interactive which is perfect for our platform. Investment Clubs are exempt from the provisions of the Financial Services Act of 1986 in the UK and In general, investment clubs are unregulated. In United States, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires any entity with more that $25 million to register under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Investment clubs typically set up as legal partnerships without having to incorporate themselves. This requires me to set up a constitutional agreement everyone would have to agree as a legally binding document. In a partnership, the club is not liable to pay taxes, each individual investor is responsible to pay their own taxes as they would any other investment based on the the gains made from the clubs income and gains. This can be set up through HMRC as an informal partnership Investment club with the constitution being the legal partnership. This requires me to send out at the end of each tax year an investment club certificate to each member detailing the amount of SPI tokens owned and any gains are losses made that year.
Onto something brighter and a little more uplifting, setting up as in investment club means we can add other requirements and events. Here are a few off the top of my head.
- Club Meeting's
It could be set up for a monthly/quarterly club meeting to take place on Discord for a Q&A (ekk), updates and brainstorming the next move.
- All off platform investments decided by vote
Being part of an investment club would require me to be the chairman with all investments being decided on by investors by way of vote. This will build lots of interaction which will lead to new bonds being build and as a whole, we have more knowledge and turn that knowledge into cashflow.
- Voting Rights
To be decided, there are to many ways to look at it and i dont wonna throw some super random ball park figures out there. As every investor that owns a SPI token would have to have the right to vote. Voting will most likely be a weighted system were members that own for example 500 SPI's have a heavier vote over someone that owns 5 SPI's as they would have more invested and more at risk.
- Weekly/Monthly updates on all investments
This will be a complete full rundown of every investment that 
There are many other things that can added and these are just a few as an example. The main point of the post is about setting up as an Investment Club and into a partnership agreement that provides a legally binding contract that can be stored on the blockchain.

I am confident enough to start talking about taxes as while. I am aware that alot of token holders are not form the UK but this is something i will look into and i will come back to it when i am better prepared.
