Crypto didn't exist when securities laws were created.
Just like your house didn't exist when laws against breaking into it were created. I'm not sure what the aim of your comment is, but what it appears to demonstrate is ignorance of the law. Rather ironic given what you were directly responding to.
lawyers hate this one simple trick! they apparently can't craft laws that are not made immediately obselete by new things.
