When asked about Network Marketing and Crypto in the USA Kevin Thompson stated:
“Crypto and MLM is a legal impossibility.
The entire point of crypto is for it to be open, decentralised, permission less.
It does not pair at all with a centrally controlled business. If tokens are involved, people will participate with the expectation/hope that the tokens will appreciate in value. This immediately renders the token a Security.
I’m a believer in blockchain. I think it provides people with an offramp from traditional finance. People have a lot of reasons to distrust traditional finance.
But that does not mean that a MLM can create and control its own blockchain.
Instead of having an open mind and assuming that a program is “innocent until proven guilty,” the presumption should be that it’s impossible until proven legitimate.”
