Well, it will force a pile of people to liquidate. That much is obvious.
Let’s hope the new, large, non-US exchange will be bittrex’ s loss and our gain.

So. Relisting when the network goes live?
Cheap coins on the way!!!
But, what’s the use of cheap coins if you can’t find a place to buy them.

Well I for one will be buying a chunk here right before it gets delisted on like the 7th 
. Otherwise I will go ahead and start buying on Polo, don’t like em as much and they have a higher withdraw fee but I will deal with it. And I gotta deal with their verification process which is never fun…

Unlike scam projects SAFECoin has a clear path to relisting on launch and usage of services while we wait for that day. Delisted scam projects have their only hook removed, fast money returns, even without the cash the SAFENet has enough to keep us occupied.
Is it naughty of me to wish for penny priced MAIDSAFEs? Sure, I would have lost my initial cash buyin, but… the opertunity to buy 100,000s of coins at rock bottom prices is just to great a temptation.
I was expecting $0.40 … it’s getting interesting now.

I think it might go lower actually, simple fact bittrex is doing a first movers advantage but they delist with a reason and eventually poloniex will have to do the same.

Also an Usa based exchange.
Oh crap!!! This is true.
Do we have a list of exchanges not under USA control?
In the delisting process where do unsold coins go? Do the exchanges burn them? What danger would that be to the project?
LOL why didn’t I sell at $1.20 (Answer: because I don’t have the guts to trade… Even when calling it)
Edit: poloniex is a crypto-crypto exchange, they don’t handle cash at all. Could they argue they are just providing a place for people to exchange “football cards” ?

@Bacobob do you know of the remaining non-US based exchanges where MAID is available, where they source their liquidity?
I’m ignoring hitBTC for obvious reasons but I remember hearing upbit sourced theirs from Bittrex???
Would be good to know if the remaining avenues (livecoin, cryptopia etc etc) dry up as well short term.
Might be upbit will also delist $maid cause of their partnership with bittrex, but on the otherside its not an USA based exchange if im right.
Also we have to see how strongly SEC will push this cause might be that even foreign exchanges will delist coins like this cause of their USA userbase, would make it also illegal for them to buy them i guess.
But this is just speculation, i just think that Bittrex is really professional and far ahead of other exchanges!
True, all guess work for now. Cheers.
Also we have to see how strongly SEC will push this cause might be that even foreign exchanges will delist coins like this cause of their USA userbase, would make it also illegal for them to buy them i guess.
Maybe I’m missing something, but is the other way around also not a strong incentive to start listing MAID. The non USA user base on USA exchanges can’t be serviced anymore, because of laws not applicable to them, so a guarantuee to have at least some demand.
Also, I can think of other things that the US government should ban/regulate better first.

I think the agencies may pick on those exchanges who comply more loosely with the KYC first. I am glad maidsafe are pursuing options outside of the US though.
If this is the sign of things to come, it could do more harm than good to the US econony. This is the current booming IT technology - the biggest since the dot com boom - and it would be foolish to attempt to repress it. They claimed in the hearing that they didn’t want to make dot com mistakes again, but what if those mistakes actually fed the success in the US?
As crypto is borderless I don’t think it will stop US citizens using foreign exchanges anyway. In the name of protecting them (or their financial institutions perhaps…), they will just throttle their share of the spoils.

Perhaps it is all part of the plan… move tokens to upbit to de-risk bittrex’s exposure?

The USA is no banning crypto just making the regulation more clear.
Did you watch the senat with the SEC, idk exactly the name.
He stated we should not Ban crypto that would be stupid its for the first time in a long timeframe that young people are interrested again in “investing” but, we do need to regulate this well and serieus.
So i think like in switserland a lot rules will be made, coins need an utility and not to be deemed a security by the howey test etc.

I listened to the coverage on let’s talk Bitcoin. Closing the US market to the explosion of tokenisation in the name of protecting people seems unwise to me - it is a very heavy handed way to stop people from being foolish.
If the rest of the world doesn’t follow, I could imagine crypto projects drifting away from US shores. Where there is innovation in technology, there should be matching innovation in law. Frankly, I don’t see evidence of this and the same road blocks which protect the financial industry, in the name of protecting individuals, seem to be being rolled out here.
