I care about profit, yeah. but I also care about the scams. I think it was cool when bitcoin came out and it wasn't a scam, so ppl were just making money.
But when it came to when ICOs came out, lots of things changed. Devs took advantage of Eth's ease of ERC20 token creation and started making scam coins.
And they can trick people too well.
So I think that's why we need some regulations to protect people.
