🇺🇸 WLFI in the USA

Curious to know who else in here braved the US KYC process to participate in this project. I’m here from North Carolina.

I hemmed and hawed about buying in after reading the Gold Paper and discovering that the tokens would be non-transferrable with no guarantee of that changing. A lot of outlets kind of mis-reported that, saying that they would be non-transferrable for 12 months, which is different from non-transferrable for a minimum of 12 months. Ultimately I decided that I’d rather be in than out, regardless of what else happens, so here I am. Excited to watch the gears start turning and see what develops from this.

From the USA too — thinking that many folks didn’t see-through the process, hence we’ll see a lot more foreigners here.

Hopefully after the election a proposal can be passed that allows non-accredited investors to get involved too. That would certainly speed-up adoption. Many folks don’t realize that while the governance token is available for purchase to non-US investors, the primary purpose of the protocol is for USD-based stablecoins — and many foreigners don’t necessarily have a vested interest in the success of the USD. The US does, of course, more-so than the rest of the world — and yet most U.S. citizens can’t even buy into the project yet. I imagine that change would dramatically increase sales, even if it seems slow right now.
