- woodruffw 4y agoI can assure you that, to my vague displeasure, I am somewhat of the opposite of "generally ignorant" of cryptocurrencies. And I haven't stated any assumptions, other than the relatively bland claim that "people gamble with it."
- Godel_unicode 4y agoMore to the point, consumer protection in the form of regulation is what makes a currency and banking system real. There's far too much risk for the average person to consider using cryptocurrency the way they currently use EUR or USD without such a regime.
