Crypto currency n general seems like a great way to learn about and understand why we have the financial rules for so many other things that we do.


I like how after every big Crypto scandal you see calls for "Well we should have X to prevent this from happening", and X is something virtually identical to a regulation/monetary policy put in place after some banking scandal or panic. History repeated itself on an accelerated scale thanks to the internet.


I think the other observation is that money schemes have became so huge and out of control that they are now legal and regulated. We wouldn’t have had the stock market otherwise.


Became? Money were always printed.


Money wasn’t always printed.


Except when it comes to gov't controlled inflation.


I prefer government controlled inflation to the inflation controlled by Giancarlo Devacini, who prints Tethers in billions with zero public control.
