Depends on the ICO, I guess. Most are direct, prior to tokens hitting exchanges - like EOS' is direct off the website, just blocking US IP addresses. VPN is an easy workaround, and from there, once your tokens are in your Ethereum wallet, you're good to move around between wallets and exchanges as desired.
Or if it's from an exchange, that is typically post-ICO. As per the EOS example again, I don't believe there are any restrictions saying US citizens can't buy tokens on exchanges like Kraken or even through wallets like Exodus - the limitation is only directly through the EOS site to limit their own liability.
Of course, I wouldn't recommend taking this as advice and the standard situation for ALL ICOs, though this is probably the simplest workaround...
Ok so your saying the limitation is on the ICO and once the coin is able to be exchanged then you can exchange it freely on exchanges?
And yes don't worry I am not taking any financial advise. I always think for my self and only hold my self responsible for my actions. Even from someone as wise as you ;-)>
I do appreciate your answers though. So far you have proven to be a very genuine, helpful and intelligent being. I appreciate that.
As far as I know, yes - at least in the US...
I will experiment and see.
Thanks again for your input.
