am I a bad person if I think that people buying the latest hyped NFT deserve to have their 'crypto' drained? NFTs of art images are such an absurdity.

Yes, people who spend their money on things you don't approve of deserve to lose their money.

Please disapprove real estate, buying a house is really too expensive and it makes it difficult to find decent housing.

So let me get this straight. You just connect your Wallet to a random website and let them run arbitrary smart contracts? That's wild, man. Surely there's gotta be some concern here that someone could take your shit.

I'm just surprised there isn't a privacy.com equivalent for this, like a limited-view wallet that lets you create sub-wallets for interaction with various services. Or if there is, perhaps it's not famous yet. Worthwhile product, I think, but hard to build because you'll be the target of everything. I think it would be easy for me to make a mistake somewhere while building it.

Crypto is a net negative for the world, so anyone should feel free to pillage crypto assets and redistribute them to other more noble causes.

People must learn to avoid crypto. We can teach them why.

Regulation can be bad, but it can also be good.

People think of history like it was wonderful, but it was full of cons and scams. Reputation matters, and people with reputations charge a premium for it.

Some of the best aspects of regulations is exactly to remove the reputation tax by mandating everyone follow the same practices as the trusted institution.

The real sad aspect is that the crypto-libertarians of today are repeating some of the exact same clear scams from the wildcatting era, and when it's brought up, it's just mocked because, honestly, who is going to read a book about 19th century finance when you can just watch the new star wars show instead.
