“These people (crypto industry) are bad people so it is justified to ignore the rule of law when hurting them” is a classic bad take. What you can do is regulate crypto into oblivion and make people feel bad about working in crypto.

If you assist NK, then you’re hurting crypto but you’re funding NK operations (e.g. NK soldiers assisting Russia against Ukraine).

If I don't assist NK then I'm tacitly assisting the crypto industry. We're in trolley problem territory now.

False dichotomy territory. You can assist neither of them and be happy.

Is multi-track drifting an option?

Is that so that you can take out all of the people in the problem at once?

You’re on a roll.

Cryptocurrency is just a technology to give people the means to generate assets, and transfer them, themselves. Advocating that the state's monopoly on violence be employed to prohibit people from using this technology is incredibly illiberal.

Regulation is just repression, rebranded.

I was with you until that final sentence. Regulation can be used for repression but it's also an essential part of any large scale real world system.

Why?

This is really not a constructive comment to make. This is going to ignite a flame war.

They're in control and responsible for their responses. Blaming someone else for one's anger or overreaction is indicative of abuse. "You made me lash out," is simply not a mature way to live one's life.

The moderators of hacker news expressly ask that people don't post like you just did.
