#2Sad. Of course they're saying that. Crypto has bought the whole government.
As someone who has worked in the crypto industry, it's insane that they're allowed to continue to do this. It's all scams, rug pulls, unregistered securities, insider trading, etc.

So it turns out, not everything is securities fraud. Or perhaps more correctly, fraud is legal now. (As well as bribing foreign officials.)

From your perspective inside the industry (or formerly inside), what do you see happening long term?
Will there be sufficient incentives for good actors and do consumers understand the risk of unregulated investments?

Meme coins seem like the perfect bribery system.

As they're now classified as novelty collectibles, is there any precedent for bribery with speculative items like that?

if there isn't, it's probably because collectibles don't have the ergonomics for bribery that meme coins do. so i'd don't see why precedent is needed here - just because meme coins are deemed collectibles doesn't change how they work. just how they're regulated.
