Crypto regulation by a centralized entity is about the dumbest thing I've ever heard.An excerpt from a February 7th article, written by yours truly. :) The title of said article is “You can't regulate what you have nothing to lose and gain from” and the reason I am bringing it up is because some points made there apply to what I want to explore today.

Negative things capture longer attention.
