🌐 Key Points:
Grayscale's recent filing to turn Bitcoin into an ETF signifies a significant departure in the crypto investment landscape.
The move prompts reflection on the evolving role of institutional players, accredited investors, and the original purpose of cryptocurrencies.
💼 Accredited Investors Demystified:
Accredited investors, as defined by the SEC, meet specific income and net worth criteria to participate in certain investments.
Annual income must be at least $200,000 (or $300,000 combined with a spouse), and net worth must be at least $1 million.
💭 Personal Perspective:
As a South African, meeting accredited investor criteria equates to an annual income of approximately R 4,000,000, excluding 99% of the population.
Bitcoin's essence is decentralization and financial empowerment, questioning the influx of institutional interest and ETFs.
🌍 Challenging the Status Quo:
Should traditional finance criteria seamlessly apply to the decentralized world of cryptocurrencies?
Advocacy for restricting accredited investors aims to preserve the inclusivity and empowerment envisioned in the crypto movement.

Even a case as old as Bernstein v DOJ (1996) can provide some really useful insight into how we can deal with the SEC challenges we are facing today. What do you think about the SEC using prior restraint on speech?
