    "If someone ever tries to tell you that an STO is just a fancy name for an ICO, or that security tokens have anything to do with crypto tokens, or that the real benefit of "cryptoassets" is that they allow you to skirt regulation, or that it's strange to have 133 companies headquartered in a 2-up-2-down in Manchester, you just tell them to stop acting the fool."
