Here in part two of this report, I am going to give my opinion on where I see the bankers and their soldiers (our elected officials/police etc) pushing things. And it can all be summed up quite nicely with one sentence.
They are going to chase you down.
In part one, I detailed the emphasis the SEC has been placing on ICO's being a security that would fall under their jurisdiction. If you missed part one, you can read it here: https://steemit.com/conspiracy/@practicalthought/did-bankers-cause-the-crypto-bubble
The purpose of this declaration is clear to me. By declaring all ICO's as under their purview, they are telling everyone that all releases, past, present and future, are subject to their scrutiny. Which gives them the authority to look through all of the teams papers etc, for the public good of course. wink wink.
Of course, the bigger piece to this puzzle in my opinion lies elsewhere. It is the extent this proclamation gives them power over the use of exchanges. Unless an exchange only deals with coins/tokens that were never released as an ICO, then they will fall subject to SEC oversight. So, what is the end game for all of this? Why do they seek this much power?
Ever since the war on terror began, the government, at the behest of their lords the bankers, have demanded there be transparency of everything their citizens are doing. Logs of your phone calls, your texts, your internet searches, your purchases etc. All being logged somewhere and analyzed. You are nothing more than a piece of cattle who is to be monitored. In order to keep your freedom you just have to give many freedoms up, including the freedom of privacy. Crypto is the ultimate tracking method once they have control as the block chain keeps a permanent record of everything.
In this day and age where you need permission to have yard sales, permission to go fishing, to simply live there is obviously nothing they feel they can't dictate to you about. Hell, you even need proof of ID in some areas if stopped by police. I have taken some time ago to calling this your going outside license.
The goal they will have for this year, by years end is to have everyone within their jurisdiction tied to wallets. That was my main prediction, stronger than the first ones about ICO's and exchanges that there is no denying will come. Ironically, since my first post, there have been two stories of interest that confirm my suspicions where this will end by years end.
Trump bans trading of Venezuelan crypto. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/19/trump-issues-action-blocking-us-citizens-from-trading-or-financing-venezuela-cryptocurrency.html
This next link is the one that really confirms my suspicions, and I urge you to share this link with everyone you know. It shows the U.S. is already collecting wallet information and is going to be publishing an ever growing list to avoid. https://www.coindesk.com/treasury-department-says-to-not-transact-with-rogue-nations-crypto-users/
Also, an older piece on the wallets
I predict that by years end, stories will begin surfacing just enough that no one will discount as rumors that the government will be using their legal leverage to compel citizens to disclose why they transacted with specific wallets in their bid to classify owners. Of course, if you have nothing to hide you shouldn't be concerned *eyeroll
So I urge all of you reading this to plan accordingly now. Only you know the extent of your activities on the block chain. If there is anything you feel is none of their business, I would plan now on at some point being prepared to answer questions. Because sure as I am a cynic, there will be plenty of us who haven't done anything being asked questions.
Because make no mistake, they will chase you down. They will not be content with any other result.
