    Why does the government keep trying to regular fake Internet money? The whole point of it was that it was a free for all. Who the fuck cares if crypto bros get fucked, if you want real securities you go to a real bank and open a real investment account.

      Yeeeaaaah, because nothing says “I’m doing my job, and certainly not getting yelled at by any other agencies” like letting a free for all happen on your watch. You know the FBI is supposed to be PREVENTING fraud, right?

      🤦

      Because then the fraudsters end up with all the money, buy an e-news paper, or get a game show, and end up running for president. It’s not an excellent idea to let fraud run rampant on your society.

      Scammers beg the goverment for a “free for all” so their central organization can defraud people.

      P2P crypto users achieve a free for all by avoiding central organizations.

      We are not the same.
