I just came across the weirdest thing. In the eMusic ICO telegram community,

 there is some sort of a ‘bouncer bot’, blocking U.S. citizens from participating in the discussion.

This is the first time I see this kind of thing.. can anyone explain what is all about?
I am also amazed about that, as far as I know, it is true not for all the projects here, bust the fact, that wealthiest nation in the world cannot contribute in the ICO projects, is very strange for me... I need to know more about that.

I think this is a real censorship because everyone has the right to do as they please with their money the problem is that these countries are afraid of bitcoin ethereum technology they think imposing one where their citizens spend their money think this is ridiculous if the guy knows that a project is scam he invests if he wants but niúngue can be blamed for others and make a general prohibition but as we are living in the civilized world we have to comply with rules

there are some restriction such kind of project when US citizen wants to participate, As this project looks not for long time and SEC will regulate this maybe it might be risky.

It is actually simple.
What do they get out of it?

There is no tax when you buy tokens from ICO, means nothing will come to the pockets of the government official.
Even a little thing you buy at the grocery have tax. Now, if you are one of the officials will you really let that happen?

It is like giving freedom over what they say a "free country".
They need the funds for their salaries.  Grin

I think American law has some restrictions on the crypto industry, often participating in the ICO, you will see that some ICOs have banned the US people, Chinese, Singaporeans and there has similar regulations in the telegraph Group I think.

The United States is quite strict when it comes to investment regulations. Only certified investors can participate in individual positions of securities. While some people call all ICO cryptocurrency as the token and not the stock, managers will have a very different opinion on the issue.

Because the us SEC is quite strict with ICO, this is the reason why most ICO projects restrict American citizens.
Many ICO bans American and Chinese citizens

Because nearly none of ICOs accept U.S. citizens to join their ICO. As you can see they are concerned about legal issues. The interesting thing they can still buy coins and tokens after ICO at the exchanges.

Most ICO projects do not currently allow users from the United States to participate. For some legal reason. Therefore accounts from the United States will often be banned from joining the ICO telegram group. That is normal today

Because according to American government's regulations they (American citizens) can not participate in such projects. However, after the recent negotiations with SEC, it seems like these rules and regulations may get watered down a bit in the future.

I think this is a compliance issue for which in some cases US citizens are not allowed to participate in ICO programs. To me, that's not problem at all rather it's trying to be more compliant with laws and regulations.

The US as having a strict ban in cryptocurrencies still now, started to approve some of the projects with a bunch of rules and regulations. For this cause, we are seeing this kind of restriction problems. We and the ICOs have to follow this protocols there's no way to deny. But as new regulation Force have been formed, there might be possibilities to come in near future.

I feel there is a bidding on US citizens, by a body with authority, not to participate in ICO, except such citizen is an accredited investors. Although, there are even some ICOs that do not allow both accredited and non-accreditted US investors from investing. This does not affect US citizens alone, but also the citizens of some few countries.

No one wants to contact the SEC. For any fraudulent activity you can get a life sentence.

I can not answer this question, but I'm very interested to know why there was such a situation that Americans can not invest in crypto-currencies? Is it strange? But it seems to me that this is not very correct.

My friend also told me this thing today. I think this is something related to SEC. There are many ICOs which have already blocked users from certain countries. And I don’t think it’s weird.
Because the majority of the icos can't even fill all of the SEC compliant to be the investment place. I think that you can see that about how the majority of people are thinking about that right now. US citizens are getting banned to participate in any ico because that will give them all the more risk.

U.S citizens or residents are restricted from a lot of ICO's. So I wont be surprised they are even blocked from joining the telegram group of some projects. This is likely because of the SEC regulations and their perception of the tokens of certain ICO's as securities.

US citizens have certain laws and regulations to follow, that simply abide them to take part in such ICO telegram groups. Which is why they are not seen here.

yes I heard about this news that many projects are putting restriction toward the US citizen but I am not sure how correct there decision is , it is maybe happening because they complain about the process, but I didn't get any updates about it, now we can hope that the situation will be changed in the upcoming years
