If it wasn't for evil governments regulating everything to death, then there would be dozens of exchanges all over the world, if not hundreds, simply exchanging fiat currencies for crypto currencies with no questions asked. The way it should be.
You could probably walk into a bank, a post office or various types of businesses and shops, and freely exchange your cash for other bearer instruments like gold, foreign exchange or BTC.
No. If it wasn't for the evil governments, there would be dozens of exchanges all over the world, you could walk into one of them and never see your money ever again..
No, I wrote "evil governments regulating everything
to death". Good governments would not do that, they would only stop scammers. You never learned the difference between evil and good, as a kid? Worrying.
At the same time bad exchanges would go out of business quickly = damage control. Governments don't go out of business even if they are bad; so there is no damage control.
