Les traders vivraient une expérience proche de celle de Milgram : plus on déconnecte un humain des conséquences de ses actes, plus il ira loin dans la transgression des limites. Mais qui fixe les limites ? Si ce sont les drogués du jeu en personne, alors il n’y a plus de contre-pouvoir et la menace n’a plus rien d’une menace fantôme.

En tendant le miroir à 5 générations d’hommes, on veut prendre la mesure des transformations produites sous l’effet du féminisme. On peut espérer qu’une majorité d’entre eux les acceptent, on observe que certains y contribuent même et sont des alliés, mais on sait aussi que d’autres les refusent et considèrent toujours les femmes comme des corps « à disposition ».
Avec Les mâles du siècle, nous espérons contribuer à ce que les hommes prennent leur part dans la lutte contre les inégalités, discriminations et violences faites aux femmes.

In April 2014, I was raped by police officers in Paris, France. After a five year legal battle, we finally went to trial in January 2019 and the two officers charged, Nicolas Redouane and Antoine Quirin, were found guilty and sentenced to 7 years in prison.
They have appealed and, according to French law, an appeal is actually a 2nd trial. My attorneys have worked tirelessly for years and this case consumes their firm - they deserve fair payment for their work. I am unable to work since the rape and Canadian legal aid wont assist the victim, therefore I need assistance to ensure I receive the same level of representation at the 2nd trial.

Tu sais que Nina Faure prépare un nouveau documentaire sur le plaisir féminin ? Et qu’il y a besoin de sousous.
Le plaisir féminin
▻http://www.cp-productions.fr/le-plaisir-feminin
Nina Faure et Yéléna Perret, deux jeunes femmes en plein cœur d’une nouvelle vague féministe, cherchent à comprendre pourquoi l’émancipation promise depuis les années 70 n’est pas encore là. Elles participent à la ré-écriture de Notre corps, nous-mêmes, un manuel sur la santé des femmes, basé sur de renversantes discussions collectives qui en disent long sur la bataille en cours. Nina Faure mène l’enquête auprès de chercheuses, médecins, philosophes et militantes : les hommes et les femmes sont-ils désormais égaux ? Que reste-t-il à faire ? Ensemble, et avec d’autres, elles vont raconter depuis l’intérieur la lutte des femmes dans une époque en plein questionnement sur l’égalité des sexes, imaginer un nouvel horizon d’émancipation et tenter de construire un programme secret pour abolir le patriarcat… dans la sexualité pour commencer.

Merci de mettre une piécette si vous pouvez les ami⋅es, même pas grand chose, pour aider les potes de Raffut, et notamment Jamila et Nico, qui suivent les Ford depuis des années.
Plus de douze ans que les ouvriers syndicalistes de Ford Blanquefort résistent à la fermeture de leur usine, et bientôt trois ans que nous les suivons avec nos caméras dans l’intimité de leur groupe. Aujourd’hui, l’usine devrait fermer, et c’est pour certains l’histoire professionnelle, humaine et syndicale de toute une vie qui se termine. Pour nous, il s’agit donc de mener à terme un film, d’abord comme témoignage de la lutte qu’ils ont menée, mais aussi pour comprendre avec eux ce qu’ils ont affronté : le management et la stratégie de l’une des plus grandes multinationales automobiles.

#top 7 Real Estate #crowdfunding Platforms in 2019
▻https://hackernoon.com/top-7-real-estate-crowdfunding-platforms-in-2019-2f1312fe4e19?source=rss
As we all know capital is still considered one of the biggest barriers when entering real estate investments simply because you haven’t created any value yet to collateralized a loan, it simply doesn’t allow you to borrow any funds as a startup. Luckily for us, real estate crowdfunding platforms have opened its doors towards more opportunity for real estate investments.According to Forbes, real estate crowdfunding continues to be a dynamic and ever-evolving industry, growing to an estimated $3.5 billion in 2016. By 2025, the crowdfunding industry as a whole is anticipated to be valued at more than $300 billion and online real estate marketplaces are primed to capitalize on that explosive growth.So let’s go over on how Crowdfunding works.What is Crowdfunding?Crowdfunding is a way of (...)
How Much Money Does Tokenisation Actually Save?
▻https://hackernoon.com/how-much-money-does-tokenisation-actually-save-af29a135496b?source=rss--
There is much talk about the benefits of tokenisation, primarily in application to capital markets (so-called “security tokens”). But how much benefit are we talking about? Let’s draw a quick outline, roughly.In the diagram above, you can see the typical equity #crowdfunding operator’s task. Grey circles are “sub-accounts”; the money goes through a sub-account from the particular investor to the particular project and back (as interest or dividends). Each horizontal line of sub-accounts represents a “project bank” where the money accumulates to reach the cap, to prepare for the quarterly distribution, etc.This function allows operators to easily manipulate money amongst separate “wallets” and it comes at a cost. But how much? Before we calculate, let’s note one thing: it seems pretty obvious, but (...)

2017 and 2018 has shown us that dramatically huge amounts of money have been raised through ICOs, more than $15 billion (based on icodata.io). And in Summer 2018, it even overtook Seed and Angel investments:(Source: coindesk.com, crunchbase.com)Given the numbers, it’s easy to see why startup founders should select ICO/STOs as their major source of fundraising. Following my #10kqachallenge (where I interview 10,000 experts in different niches: formula.geekforge.io) I asked VCs and crypto fund founders and executives about this question, and here’s how they answered:Andrew Knight — Fund Manager at invictuscapital.comLet’s start with a process of elimination.

Why the crypto focus for 2019 will be on compliance
▻https://hackernoon.com/why-the-crypto-focus-for-2019-will-be-on-compliance-b430914173ec?source=
Compliance will be a big focus for the crypto industry in 2019The year 2018 was a total disaster for the crypto world. In a space where the focus seems to be price and price alone, the general feeling was that of FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt).The effect of this global downtrend was never more apparent than for ICOs. Initial Coin Offerings started 2018 with a bang, by 2nd quarter of 2018 alone, they managed to snag 10 times more than the cumulative sum of investments from ICOs of Q1–2 2017. However, in the span of a year, the ICO investments per month — went from more than $1 Billion in January being invested, to just $179 Million in November.On top of this, the US SEC’s recent outings against ICOs, has rocked the world of cryptocurrencies and promoting more FUD. The agency has tagged (...)

An Overview of STOs and Private Offerings in the US
▻https://hackernoon.com/an-overview-of-stos-and-private-offerings-in-the-us-f11906581872?source=
You own a startup, or an office building in Manhattan, and you’ve heard a lot of buzz about turning your asset into a security token. You likely have many questions, such as “What is a security token?”, “Why should I use a security token?”, and “How do I do that?”. I am going to help answer those questions and explain why issuing a security token is just a faster, more modern, and more valuable extension of a traditional security issuance.What is a security token?A “security token” is legally identical to a traditional security. The only difference between a security and a security token is the manner in which ownership is recorded. Simply put, a security token is a security that has been turned into a digital asset on a #blockchain. If that sounds foreign to you, take a look at this helpful (...)

ICO’s Have All But Completely Exited Stage Left. Enter The Security Token?As the great cryptocurrency winter of 2018 extends its grip by yet another month, anecdotal evidence at various #blockchain conferences worldwide has been rife that a security token wave is on the cusp of forming. This new breed of digital assets is one that seeks to comply with existing regulators, rather than to subvert. Security tokens are are programmatically designed to be compliant with relevant regulations. In the words of influential crypto podcaster and fund manager Anthony Pompliano:If cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are considered “programmable money” then you can consider Security Tokens a version of “programmable ownership.”With recent examples of assets being tokenized ranging from the St. Regis Aspen (...)

What a Startup Needs to Know if their going to sell securities in the US?

What Startups Need to Know if they’re going to Sell Securities in the US? (Reg D, Reg CF, Reg A+, WTF..)The goal of this article is to give a brief overview of the rules that are issued by the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission). This is an attempt of the author to go in-depth and have an updated guide about the rules for selling securities in the US. All materials in this article are for informational purposes only. None of the material presented here should be interpreted as investment advice.The main revolution in #crowdfunding happened back in 2012 when US President Barack Obama signed the JOBS Act (Jumpstart Our Business Startups), which gave people more freedom to raise capital for “emerging growth companies” (with annual gross revenues of less than $1 bln).

Investment platforms vie to capture a share of global #remittances
Investment platforms are vying to capture a share of global remittances
IN 2016 AYO ADEWUNMI, a Nigerian-born agricultural trader living in London, bought a five-hectare farm in
his homeland. It has produced little since. “I am not in the country, so I have to rely on third parties. It’s just
not good enough,” he says.
Mr Adewunmi has since discovered another, potentially more satisfactory way to make such investments:
through #FarmCrowdy (▻https://www.farmcrowdy.com), a crowdfunding platform that lends to Nigerian farms and provides technical
assistance to their owners. The two-year-old startup, which is considering expanding into Ghana, places high
hopes in the African diaspora as a source of funds.
The case for such platforms goes beyond agriculture. Global remittances are expected to soar from $468bn
in 2010 to $667bn in 2019. They are among the top two foreign-currency sources in several countries,
including Kenya and the Philippines. Yet hardly any of the money is invested.
In part, this is because recipients use three-quarters of the money for basics such as food and housing. But it
is also because emigrants who want to invest back home have few options. New investment channels could
attract lots of extra cash—about $73bn a year in Commonwealth countries alone, according to research by
the 53-country grouping.
Crowdfunding platforms would enable investors to put modest sums directly into smaller businesses in
developing countries, which are often cash-starved. Yet of the emerging world’s 85 debt- and
equity-crowdfunding ventures, only a handful raise money abroad. Several platforms set up in rich countries
over the past decade to invest in developing countries, including Emerging Crowd, Homestrings and Enable
Impact, quickly folded.
A big problem is that few developing countries have rules about crowdfunding. Many have allowed activity
so far chiefly because the industry is so small, says Anton Root of Allied Crowds, a consultancy. Cross-border
transfers using such platforms easily fall foul of rich countries’ rules intended to stop money-laundering and
the financing of terrorism.
Some developing countries have realised that they need to act. Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia
have all recently passed regulations on equity crowdfunding or peer-to-peer lending. But from a
cross-border perspective, Africa seems most inventive, owing to active entrepreneurs and Western help.
Last month the British government approved a grant of £230,000 ($300,000) to the African Crowdfunding
Association to help it craft model accreditation and investor-protection rules. Elizabeth Howard of
LelapaFund, a platform focused on east Africa, is part of an effort to see such rules adopted across the
continent. That would help reassure sending countries that transfers do not end up in the wrong hands, she
says. She hopes to enlist the support of the Central Bank of West African States, which oversees eight
Francophone countries, at a gathering of crowdfunders and regulators sponsored by the French
government in Dakar, in Senegal, this month.
Thameur Hemdane of Afrikwity, a platform targeting Francophone Africa, says the industry will also study
whether prospective laws could be expanded to the Central African Economic and Monetary Community, a
grouping of six countries. Harmonised rules will not guarantee crowdfunders’ success, but would be a useful
step towards raising the amount of diaspora capital that is put to productive use.

There are so many international wrist watch companies in the world. But it is hard to pick one that justifies the price tag.

We have raised $5M on our own platform at a $60M valuation and just announced a $10M ICO, which is in test the waters at a $130M valuation at $10 per share.But before all of this, StartEngine began as a singular idea: I wanted to invest in 60 companies.Setting the goalAfter the second video game company I founded, Acclaim Games, was acquired by Walt Disney (Playdom was the original buyer), I wanted to take a break from the entrepreneurial side of the business and become an investor.

Today the SEC spoke at a town hall called #investing In America in Atlanta, Georgia. While the event was not crypto-specific, cryptocurrencies and ICOs loomed in the background. Indeed, blockchain and ICOs came up in one of the first questions at the Q & A at the end of the panel.In regards to ICOsBlockchain as architectureIn response to an inaudible question, one in which we can posit that the audience member asked about the SEC’s views on ICOs and the emerging crypto space, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton said, “I think we can all agree on [the promise of blockchain].

Pictured: the current security token market (left), the future security token market (right)Last week #sec Chairman Jay Clayton made a speech at Princeton and said that utility tokens can be securities, and that eventually these tokens can also be utility tokens. This kind of back and forth rhetoric is confusing at best. However, once again Chairman Clayton has spoken, and it is up to us to decipher what he really means. After all, the SEC is the most powerful financial regulator in the world.The real issue for blockchain companies or projects that want to raise capital from its users or from investors is that their token is immediately going to be classified as a security token, which means a set of new problems that may make the blockchain company unworkable.

It is now clear that U.S. based companies who issued utility tokens in 2017 and 2018 will need to do some clean up in order to move forward safely and not endanger their company, the officers of the company and their investors. There are many great blockchain projects and great entrepreneurs who are at risk of being afoul with the law and, you guessed it, the SEC.So what are those entrepreneurs supposed to do? After all, many of them got sound legal advice from lawyers who confirmed the tokens being issued were utility tokens. These entrepreneurs then took this advice to heart and sold them to users. Those users are now investors, and those tokens are now securities. This may be confusing to many, but in reality the remedies are not difficult and manageable in most cases.The good news (...)
