As long as it is stuck to "accredited" investors it's pretty boring.

I think the SEC is going to forced to give up on this concept after a few more years of conventional investment instruments available to most people struggling to keep up with inflation.

It's definitely true that some accredited investors are smart about investing but plenty of them are just people with a lot of money.

That's precisely the intent and effect of the JOBS Act: to open opportunities like these to unaccredited investors.
