Regulations may give better results in short-term but we can be sure about what will happen in long term as this may kill core concept of entire crypto-currency world; decentralization. The high level of scam you have mentioned could be avoided if you do your own research and analysis. Hence, asking for regulation is not good in my opinion.
You got everything right. But, most people here are not ready to spend their valuable time for their research and analysis but relying on other people for choosing bounty programs or else coming here for regulations and other things like getting paid from bounties in BTC or ETH. Both in short term and long term, regulations will kill this healthy environment. It means the real people who are all having very good concept but not having enough funds definitely will get affected due to regulations.I would very much like startups in this market to start to be regulated as there would be much less fraudulent projects
You can easily avoid those fraudulent projects if you are aware of few methods on how to filter out them. That is not a big science but no one here is ready to learn those methods but asking for something impossible nor something completely against our crypto world. Really shocking
