  I don't understand this at all. Can you explain?

Some people believe the 2008 financial crisis was caused because of de-regulation, rather than regulation; and that the bad guys were mostly untrustworthy/incompetent/greedy types in financial institutions.

Cryptocurrencies, famous for helping people evade regulations (e.g. ransomware) and untrustworthy/incompetent/greedy institutions (e.g. exchanges "accidentally" losing deposits), seem worse on these rather than better.

Bitcoin is about money and it’s properties. It has nothing to do with income verification, loan standards, or rating falsification.
