Cryptocurrency and crypto currency funds should not be limited to qualified investors. It is the duty of all investors to understand the what they are investing in and the risks involved. Closing off retail investors from an entire class of assets would be a disservice and over reach. As this sector of the economy grows and evolves it is on all of those investing to research and understand what they are choosing to invest their money in. Many believe this will grow to be an important asset class and portion of a well balanced portfolio.

I adamantly oppose restrictions to my Right to Invest in any type of investment. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to everyone not just the privileged few. I should not have to go through any special process before I can invest in public securities as I am more than capable of understanding my investments & their risks. This is insulting & I do not need these measures imposed on me. Regards, Dr. P. Kleber

As a retired RIA (registered investment advisor) I have witnessed the effects of accredited investor rules first hand. From my experience with my clients those types of requirements do nothing to protect the investor, or ensure they understand the investments they are making. I have seen high net worth, high income individuals make horrible investment decisions. And I have seen individuals who can not meet the requirements be much more intelligent investors.

My opinion is options contracts are far more inherently dangerous for inexperienced investors. I believe leverage funds have gone to great length to explain their products and cost and inverse funds can help mitigate downside risks in a portfolio. Neither leverage nor inverse inhibit what the market is designed to do: price discovery. Index funds also skew the market but are fantastic investment products. Caveat emptor or a fool and his money...
