This is such a nonsensical argument. Crypto is a huge space with myriad benefits, which are not negated by having some elements regulated.
For example, perhaps you are in favor of crypto because it is (i) harder for a state to seize or (ii) impossible for a single state to inflate. Those are in part possible because of the distributed decentralized nature of cryptocurrency. Being in favor of those two things does not mean you cannot also be in favor of regulating people that manipulate crypto market by wash trading, in favor of arresting thieves and hackers, in favor of banning insider trading, etc. You can have a system with trustless elements and that still relies on the laws and regulations to enforce certain aspects.
- FabHK 4y agoSo, you're saying, the government can arrest thieves and hackers, ban wash trading, ban insider trading (and, presumably, enforce that), but cannot ban or seize crypto itself?
- phatfish 4y agoI think this is the "have cake and eat it" scenario. Crypto fans want a fresh supply of dumb money into the system to keep their line going up. But also want the more complex scams that might catch them out regulated away.
