I am thinking same like you. Government shouldn't involve in cryptocurrencies world. Gov's wants to control everything. It is in its nature. They have to know everything, control and regulate it. Let the people learn what is cryptocurrencies, how can we use it, is it safe or not... Then we won't need any crypto regulation already.
Sorry but I think the other way around. Without government regulations, many people will fall on scam. I have seen those actions, scam company exploitinig cryptocurrency having no legalities to operate since their reason is that it is decentralized. I am into freedom but if it gives more negative impact than positve ones, it is better to have the goverment to step in.
People are too lazy to learn and criminals exploit this, at least with the government regulation around, these criminals will have a 2nd thought in doing their crimes.
I will take a small sample, if the government can eradicate project fraud in this market, of course I would strongly agree if you want to involve the government. but unfortunately that is not possible, so the government cannot regulate this market. and now we are seeing market correction, after the price of bitcoin has jumped in the last 2 years and now the market is the opposite. but according to the analysis of crypto 2020 is a glorious year like 2017. And hopefully that will really happen
Having the government to regulate things means a way for people to check in if the project is a scam or not, something like guidelines in investing into a cryptocurrency startup/project. And if ever they scammed people, with their registration, the perpetrators can be apprehended and be jailed.
