Sen. Brown Testifies On Crowdfunding Before Banking Committee

[Treytah]

Crowdfunding may be a way to increase influx of capital to small business, however will congress place proper consumer protections?? I think the $1,000 is still too high of a ceiling for non accredited investors (me being one of those non), Don't get me wrong I would love to keep that ceiling personally but for the consumer greater good maybe half of that would be better.

Nope I don't use a typewriter though the keyboard on my computer is close. lol

@Treytah the "greater good" always limits individual freedom...

What about all the large companies, ie the Fortune 500 that are on a large capital strike?

many of them are effectively holding up a lot of money that is out there, along with banks that refuse to lend, this legislation seems somewhat interesting, although typically croundfunding gets you no part of the company
