opening up the opportunity to take money from a whole new source, by accepting money from unsophisticated investors who dont understand what they are getting into and losing liquidity on their investment at best and losing their money at worst

As long as investors don’t get bailed out, who cares? I would have loved to invest in Uber, Lyft, etc back in 2014 when I knew they were going to be big. It also would have sucked to invest in Yik Yak, but you win some you lose some. As long as they are selective enough to not list outright scams, I say let people take their own risks.
