Are you familiar with the history of Bitcoin-denominated stocks? The history of various bitcoin stock exchanges which have been shut down by the SEC? Do you know exactly what the regulations are? Are you aware of how they've actually been applied to Bitcoin in the past?
Are you aware of the extensive fraud that has been perpetrated in the this space?
This is not a new field, it's got a couple years of history, and very little of it is pretty.
What are you doing that makes you think you'll be different?
As listed in the above document, cryptoequity is not simply a cryptotoken that ostensibly represents a stock, it encompasses all types of programmable rights that can potentially apply to a project. There are many potential applications of cryptoequity that fall into the realm of securities and equally many that do not.
Fundamentally what we are trying to do is stay on the right side of what is a very fuzzy line between what we can and can't do, while offering something that is incrementally but substantially better than all previous funding platforms. I think this is eminently possible because even a relatively simple feature like the distributed voting we are doing (http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/swarmcoin-holders-vote-c...) provides a rather significant amount of benefits relative to existing offerings.
Of course, people hear "cryptoequity" and they immediately think "stock." The reality is far more complex... and interesting.
