## Quote — verbatim

> I think 2018 is going to be the year of security tokens. You're going to see a lot less utility tokens. I know folks that are getting investigated... My recommendation is folks should really explore more securities than utilities and do it the right way.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Discussion of Wyoming's utility-token law; Greg argues selling tokens pre-utility with expectation of return is a security, and mentions Reg A+ as an alternative path.
