and to me the only way that something will be done is with regulations and government involvement I am sorry to say but I see no other way

Yes, it's all by design...jmho. I expect there are bogus scams in place by derailers to bring you to the 'breaking point' with the comment above.

Sadly, money is the root of everything evil. It brings out the worst in the best of people. At its core, in many cases, is corruption. So, no surprises that BTC, the optimum crypto asset, is targeted for easy scams.

Don't apologize for sharing your perception of the truth. The writing is on the wall. It makes a case for why the government gets to be in the mix of everything; being because, people and entities via corruption, seek to own the wealth, even if it means being like crabs in a bucket to getting rich.

Best regards.

Peace.
