My name Christopher Cialone. Cryptocurrency has opened up a new world financially, and economically...for the little guys. Bitcoin, and the subsequent alt coins that have followed has given regular everyday people an opportunity to be more hands on with their own finances, to use in tandem with the existing system of finance. I have changed my entire life because of cryptocurrency, and as it stands, New York State has the tightest regulation, which is stifling opportunities for upcoming businesses and individual.

As you regulators veer more towards stricter regulations and communism, I implore you to stay out of our business. Concern yourselves more with letting retirement accounts allowing that worthless bitcoin being able to be allotted as a percentage.

Lay your hands off my money.We Americans pay enough taxes.Big corporations and Rich people pay little taxes.

Keep politics out and off our investments.

Hello,
I am adamantly opposed to any restrictions being placed on my ability to invest in inverse or leveraged ETFs. These funds make it plainly obvious that there is significant risk involved, but I for one have decided that there is a place for them in my portfolio.

The market must remain free from unnecessary regulation. This is an overreach and must be stopped. Regulation is not intended to stop people from making their own decisions.

These regulations would not only be an unnecessary restriction on the free market, but they would give an even more marked advantage to those who are already wealthy, by allowing them exclusive trading options that are not allowed to the vast majority of the rest of us. American citizens are better informed on what investments are best for their specific situations than regulators are. Let them decide for themselves. For every uninformed decision this stops, how many well informed decisions will it also stop?

Stop fooling with our investments

Do not take my right to trade all investment tools. I count on inverse and leveraged ETF's as a part if my investing strategy.

This is America or use to be. Once I earn money and pay taxes on said money then who are you to tell me how to invest it? So playing the lotto is ok? Why is that ok but some investments are to complex for my small brain? Is it because the government sells the tickets? Please stop as your embarrassing yourselves. Please match wits with me. Who ever wrote this proposal should move to North Korea as your political views seem to mess well. From every freedom loving American "KISS OUR AMERICAN BUTTS!!!
