Suppose a car is manufactured with all it's features except the breaks. Many people will still be saves provided they do not find any traffic in their way. Or in other words they are so lucky that they are still safe and reach their destination.
In the same way I think without some regulations; scammers will always be able to cheat others. There should be some one who is keeping eye on their activities. Though their powers should be limited. With unlimited or more powers they may become dictators.
Rules and regulations need to be formed at international levels because ICOs have international reach. World Bank may be the rule maker in this case. Or any other new regulatory agency may be formed under whose guidance all the countries are working in this field.
Crypto currency is the currency for the future; so entire world should help develop it and remove hurdles from it's way.

we don't need regulations to prevent scams. this is a decentralized world with decentralized rules and we as a part of this decentralized system, should be able to prevent scams from happening by having more educated people who use their brains instead of their greedy emotions.

but when that clearly doesn't happen and we still have idiot newbies who continue to give away their money to ICO scammers then we need some external force to come in and clean it up for us. which is sad to be honest because it shows how the altcoin market has failed.

Before, I thought that regulations are something that could potentially be good for crypto world, and also inevitable. But now after reading what you wrote, and after some thinking I guess you could be right.
There are a lot of scammers in real life, I mean outside the crypto world. Most of people learned how to stay away from things like that, but I guess there will always be those who will not/ could not learn how to secure their investment (money). At the end, people learn best on their own mistakes.
