    I’ve been around the crypto space for quite a while now and its way more regulated than it ever was. 10 years ago, it seemed like it was a way for the people to control their money (before investment minded crypto bros ruined it all). Steam accepted it, you could buy things with it. Now it’s hard to get it without sending a photo of your ID to some exchange.

      Most of the regulations are on the customer side. You still see new shitcoins being created, hyped, pumped and dumped every other week, something that is not possible on actual stock markets unless you are friends with several high ranking people
