Comment on Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs

blames the currency

The issues are layered but the core aspect is that everyone can get scammed and banks have protections for getting your money stolen while crypto doesn’t.
But the more visible issue is just how the unregulated aspect of it being used to scam people predominantly has marred the topic for so many people to the point where people just want to stay away from it all. If anything I think it ends up being a good example for how people need regulation and we can’t just have anarchy because people will take advantage of other people.
To add a metaphor, sure it’s not the gun that does the killing it’s the human, but regulating how the gun gets used does help with gun deaths a lot.

The bank’s protection often looks like not being able to use your own money on things you choose because of a set of criteria you can’t see and don’t have to agree to. It’s the main reason I started using crypto to begin with.

I honestly haven’t had any such issues, any specific limitations you’ve encountered that you can reference?
