The current accredited investor laws help the rich get richer and keep non-millionaires from investing in high growth opportunities. Since most growth is happening in private rounds now, these regulations must be changed! The recent "improvements" are NOT good enough!

Non-accredited investors should be rioting in the streets seeing YC turn $20k turn into $2,200,000,000. Allowed to buy lotto tickets, but can't invest in startups?! You've got to be kidding me.

Hey @federalreserve if the most popular phone in the USA goes from $699 to $829 in 1 year for same storage, while losing a wall charger and headphones, does that 18.6% show up anywhere in the official inflation numbers? @neelkashkari I'm not trolling. This is a serious question.

Saying “#Bitmex and 100x leverage is gambling” as a reason for regulatory demise...? Casinos are legal. And the house has a KNOWN EDGE on customers. Next tweet 👇🏻

In March 2020, bitcoin crashed as part of a broad market sell-off in response to Covid-19 pandemic concerns and prevention measures. Now the question is, If stocks crash again, will bitcoin follow? The answer is not so clear: by @BenjaminPirus on.forbes.com/6010GUmIs
