I would much rather live in a world where I can choose for myself whether or not using crypto like Tether or Binance Coin is too risky. It has been said that crypto is essentially regulatory arbitrage. It's like a UFO landing on Wall Street, yes it's obviously finance but it is different enough that the government doesn't know how to deal with it. This has clearly led to new financial and cryptoeconomic innovations, as well as clear scams and crashes. Nonetheless I would rather make the decision for myself. Financial regulations are already looser for the rich in the United States than the poor. There are many more shackles on what you can do with your money as a retail trader than a institutional trader. At least one benefit that crypto has over traditional finance is that all participants have the same opportunities. For the most part it is open source code for nodes that anyone can run themselves. Finally I'd like to add that the nature of crypto means that when the United States removes its regulatory ambiguity, or if USG decides to crackdown on the whole endeavor, there will most likely still be some country like El Salvador where it is still legal and accepted. So to me it seems that the future of crypto is still bright despite what may be seen as increasing regulatory pressure from the elephant in the room.
