The Securities and Exchange Commission in Thailand is worried about crypto investor ignorance as cryptocurrency trading volume in Thailand surged to 700 to 800 billion baht over the past 10 months.

At the PostToday Cryptocurrency Forum 2021 yesterday the Zipmex executive said that more than 1.1 million people are now trading crypto in Thailand.

This statement comes from a government that sells lottery tickets to the poor with a 40% payout. Considering the current state of the Thai baht, borrowing a lot of it to buy something else seems wise.

I'm a former day-trader, i made a killing, i even taught it - in Japan in the late 90s. Whenever a government says it is concerned about the little people over day-trading, it means only one thing - they want to tax or crush it, and keep the game for the parasites at the top. The liberal tyranny known as the EU did this by compulsory stop loss orders, the US did it by outright banning day-trading for anyone with less than 50k. In the late 90s it was about as free-trade as it gets in the West, it was fantastic, now they crushed it. Thai elite looking to do the same.

In other words, don't even come close to where the rich make their money. Imagine the pain of sharing anything if you're rich.

i think  SEC should focus on insider trading and social media posts before selling shares. it's not their business to worry about armatures losing their money

If you ask me nicely, I'll fix the 'armatures' typo . . . it is quite funny though, unless you do have a passion for electric motors!
