I like to follow the fallout from cyrpto/token scams on reddit as they happen and it’s the same thing every time: People who had been touting the benefits of “no regulation” are suddenly angry and outraged that the government hasn’t done more to prevent the scam from happening and isn’t (in their minds) doing enough to get their money back.

It’s a leopards ate my face situation. And it’s beyond frustrating but I can also sympathize with them a bit. Who among us hasn’t stubbornly needed to see something for ourselves in order to learn a lesson we could have (and should have) learned by listening to the people with a bit of experience?
