I sometimes read anti crypto pieces and am usually the most struck by not just how inaccurate they are but how they seem to fear regulation because it will make crypto seem safer, thereby enticing people join it and be hurt by the inevitable crash. Just a cascade of false assumptions. 

This is an especially good specimen.
