I have been on the forum for a long time and I want to say that the cryptocurrency society has already passed all stages. We have buried Bitcoin many times already, and then it showed new price highs. Of course you are right - the idea of free assets is in a vice. I remember how identity verifications began to be introduced in 2017, they were mandatory, and we had nowhere to get away from them, because we wanted to continue using exchanges. And now cryptocurrencies are more like a speculative tool.
Let it be so, but this is also a breakthrough!
And maybe tomorrow a new Satoshi will come up with a new idea that regulators will not be able to curb.
