Ever notice how crypto market structure regulations keep getting watered down from what they should actually be? The reality is straightforward—governments and traditional financial institutions won't voluntarily trim their profits. This is precisely why Bitcoin and the entire crypto movement emerged in the first place: to break free from centralized gatekeeping. Yet here we are, watching policy get shaped by the very powers the technology was designed to circumvent.

Honestly, I've seen this routine too many times. As soon as regulation comes, it automatically shrinks, just like squeezing toothpaste. --- They are completely dominated by traditional finance, so there's no way they'll willingly relinquish control. --- It's quite ironic; in the end, the old forces end up reaping the benefits in reverse. --- Current crypto regulation is a joke; the original principles have long been abandoned. --- Wait, isn't this the very thing we opposed back then? How did it come full circle? --- They've surrendered. Once institutions step in, they start to compromise, which is no surprise. --- When interest groups get involved, nothing good comes of it. Better to see it clearly early on.

Regulation is getting more and more lenient; it turns out that power still rules...

Basically, the rules are always made for the poor; the wealthy have already found the loopholes.

Basically, the rules have been corrupted by power. Isn't that the very reason for the birth of BTC? What's laughable is that now it's being reverse harvested by those same people...
