My friend, there's a big story going on between the cryptocurrency people and the U.S. government, especially the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In summary:

Some people say that cryptocurrencies are like commodities, meaning like gold or oil, not securities.

But the U.S. government, represented by the Securities and Exchange Commission, says no, they are securities and must be registered and comply with certain laws.

* If the government wins, the companies dealing in cryptocurrencies will struggle a bit, they will need to register and provide paperwork and information to investors.
