why are so many people afraid of regulating bitcoin? It doesn't only protect the people but bitcoin aswell.
dont be foolish
regulations do not protect people
regulations and consumer protections are two separate things altogether.
if anything. wipe the word regulation from your mind. never speak of that word ever.
and instead feel fre to use the term consumer protections
repeat the word consumer protections, consumer protections consumer protections
if you can truly understand the differences. and can realise where the battle lines lay.. then and only then can you go forth and lobby and promote consumer protections.
but do not elude to or try to suggest that regulations are consumer protections.
