I've always supported regulations in the crypto world and always will, as too much freedom could rather be a curse than blessing. Many manipulations happening in the crypto world today is still happening because many sectors lack the proper regulations, which is why many bad actors in the name of crypto projects rip people off their money and no one dares to challenge them.
Regulations shouldn't have been the way if everyone is sane and true to their promises and commitment, can we say it's true for the current world? I guess not! For this, I welcome regulation 100% for fairness, transparency and accountability, and especially to protect the voiceless.
To be fair, regulations towards one side isn't really that nice. We should have the situation in a way that we are going to end up with bad results if we are not careful. Obviously things will not be that easy to handle, but if we can make it work, then we are going to get greater income.
I can see that you are sceptical of regulations. If I may ask, what exactly are you afraid about regulations? And is this way that crypto projects and market manipulators perpetrate their evil and go scot free good? If you know the mind of some people, you would realize that it is wickedly wicked, and this people are mostly in the crypto space, so what do you expect.?
You might be a smart guy in this crypto space, but I tell you, many more people aren't, so if we do not think of ourselves because we can find out ways around it due to our experience, we should think of the victims and the intending victims.
People need to be controlled to make them accountable regardless of how we think of it. This brings more of order and sanity, aside from the accountability. Too much freedom will always have its severe cons.
