- W3123157577 abstract "This Article builds on my existing research program that (a) broadly seeks to analyze laws, regulations, instruments, and policy levers that inhibit a market’s ability to recognize an asset’s intrinsic value, whether in terms of financial, social, or human capital, and (b) explores and advances interdisciplinary corporate governance theories by employing a heterodox economic analytic to derive its proposal to the paradox of an unregulated virtual currency market (Bitcoins) and an overly regulated crowdfunding market (Kickstarter). The Article functions not only as an homage to Charles MacKay’s legendary 1841 book, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, which described the human, social, and economic psychology of financial bubbles—particularly the Dutch tulip bulb bubble—but also as an offering of problems and proposals that crowdfunded and Kickstarted entrepreneurial businesses, including those funded by Bitcoin currencies, present for a wide swath of societal stakeholders. To describe the problem, this Article (i) describes behavioral finance, (ii) details the new entrepreneurial business possibilities that virtual currencies and crowdfunded entities can explore, (iii) describes how current rules and regulations represent unnecessary constraints to traditional * Associate Professor of Law & Director, Business Law Center, Western State College of Law.

I am thankful for the generous research stipend from Western State College of Law for this project and am thankful for the helpful comments provided at the 2013 National Business Law Scholars Conference annual meeting, as well as those from Ohio State Law Professor Emeritus Douglas J.

Many thanks to Western State College of Law Library Director Patricia O’Connor and reference librarian Scott Frey, as well as to my team of research assistants, Alex Nguyen, Monique Midose, Ryan Wallace, and Amanda Huff. I also am grateful for the numerous helpful comments of Kurtis Urien, Esq., Daren Gottlieb, Esq., and Heidi Timmerman, Esq. on this fast-moving project in which the bulk of the research ended August 31, 2013. 490 WILLIAM & MARY BUSINESS LAW REVIEW [Vol. 5:489 equity-based funding models and concerning governance models of entrepreneurial enterprises, and (iv) questions why one form of capital deployment (currencies) may provide equity-like returns and unique governance, while the other form of investing (crowdfunding), provides only softdollar-like returns and no governance for middle-class investors. While both virtual currencies and crowdfunding represent risks, including economic bubble risk, this Article believes that a heterodox economic analysis demonstrates unnecessary constraints on entrepreneurial businesses imposed by extant regulation, regulators, law, and policymakers. To assuage these paradoxic problems for emerging business enterprises, this Article proposes a minarchist heterodox solution of modest statutory language that requires market-based solutions that employ needed risk reduction strategies while redeploying necessary capital to private startup business enterprises. This proposal thus benefits the middle class entrepreneurs, suppliers of capital, and job seekers harmed by the current regulatory regime, while permitting for an expansion of the U.S. and global economies. 2014] KICKSTARTER MY HEART 491" @default.
