I strongly disagree. When regulation is absent we can rely on trust. Not blind trust, but trust built over time. You can see this in action in other unregulated spaces such as trading card (pokemon, magic, baseball) markets. These markets are prone to scams and counterfeit. In response, various appraisal services rose up (like Beckett) that promise to verify the authenticity of these cards. They've managed to build community trust over time and are now a staple of the industry. The same thing will happen with DeFi, it just needs room to grow and mature. I think your opinion will change once heavyweights like Visa join the club (see below). https://www.coindesk.com/business/2021/09/30/visa-unveils-proposed-interoperability-platform-for-stablecoins-cbdcs/ https://www.coindesk.com/business/2021/09/30/visa-unveils-pr...
