Who are to you say that? you're not different from the government and SEC who tells what people must do and what's crypto is all about. They can regulate as much as they want but the market will continue to go on and it will be a regretful decision and idea while you're out forever.
It would be highly missed for those who just stay away from the bitcoin without investing in it considering the regulations will be in place. Take a call when it happens and how it works till then not to miss the bull run as you will miss out a good profit-making opportunity. Those who continued holding it are the ones who made good gains in the end.
