Thanks for the great article on what may be the new substack, even if it is from a hater ;)

The USA is having a rough time with regulations lately (a long time). Major important top level regulations get cut; separating banking from investment banking, equal time for political parties on media outlets, merger/monopoly activity, etc, etc. I believe its a long worrying list.

Now with crypto the regulatory environment is still more dysfunctional than ever. I assume its pressure from various parties to catch up or try to crush innovation/competition, stall so parties may plan and attempt to control, fear of change, etc. Or maybe its just b/c things politically suck right now.

I hope we get a basic open framework of reasonable regulation soon.

Also, being a new asset class really lends itself to a lot of unsavory activity just b/c of what it is (other tech didn't have to deal with that aspect). I think we've seen the biggest washout of bad actors (FTX etc) as long as we get regulations sooner than later.
