I don't know why some people are resisting regulation. I think regulation is almost inevitable. Bitcoin has gained value and we can buy things with it. Bitcoin is not digital coupons any more and millions worth of bitcoin are trades every day and can be transmitted across the world. Regulated exchanges are important to bring bitcoin mainstream. The more regulated exchanges around the world the better.
As you can see current financial world is regulated, every business and organisation have to follow law. Does this makes our financial system better?
Everything is fine, big financial institutions are getting bigger, banks are getting fed and people like Jordan Belfort are everywhere, it is your 'regulated' world for you.
