Joni Pierce Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I strongly opposed restrictions on my right to invest in cryptocurrency funds. I understand the concern you may have in protecting people from themselves however you are impeding a fundamental right for individuals which is the right to financial self-determination. To impose restrictions is paternalistic and does not respect the ethical right for individuals to make choices about where and how they invest. Furthermore, by only offering these investments to high net worth individuals you amplify the inequities already experienced by low socioeconomic individuals.
