> Accredited investor laws are disgusting. Personally, I'd much prefer to hold securities, tokens, equities, currency on-chain than via some broker

These are unrelated. You can hold stocks, bonds and commodities in your own name. It’s inconvenient and carries no advantage over owning them in “street name”. But that isn’t an accredited/un-accredited difference.




Sure they aren't related, but they are related to the parent comment which mentions both.

I was just stating that the former is a form of discrimination to restrict opportunity and increase wealth disparity. The latter is just a preference. Both were being discussed in the parent comment.
