If "Legitimate" means having to comply with all these regulations and decisions from unelected bureaucrats, then I prefer fringe and bizarre.

You only have to comply if you’re a US citizen or doing business as a US entity, in which case they are not unelected or are appointed by elected officials.

Unfortunately for your tastes of fringe and buzzard society and people in it at large prefer stability and regular growth. I like a bit of both. We need the fringe and buzzard for society to grow and change, and as a parent and home owner I like to know that society is stable and that I’m not in danger of losing everything some how.

Anyway, not an easy balance but such is living in a society.

I always found the derogatory use of “unelected bureaucrats” hilarious. Who elected the btc core devs?
