Imagine a regulatory sweep targeting: memecoins, leveraged derivatives, prediction markets, plus OnlyFans, Instagram, Uber Eats and DoorDash. Sounds tough, right?

Here's the real question: would society actually improve? Or are we just fooling ourselves?

Think about it—banning perpetuals and leverage kills risk management tools along with the speculation. Memecoins vanish, sure, but so does retail engagement in crypto. Prediction markets get axed, yet forecasting accuracy takes a hit. Meanwhile, OnlyFans and Instagram restrictions? DoorDash and Uber Eats controls? You're talking about disrupting entire economic ecosystems.

The trade-offs are brutal. Protection comes at the cost of freedom and innovation. Is that really a better world, or just a different flavor of problems? Worth asking before we celebrate the crackdown.

A one-size-fits-all regulation can solve the problem? Wake up. In the end, it might just be a different way to continue harvesting the little guys.

ngl This is a typical case of "destroying the entire ecosystem for safety"... Do you really think banning leverage can save the market? LOL Are retail investors supposed to be protected like this?

Banning again and again, can it really improve society? I don't think so... --- Layered regulation, in the end, small retail investors are the ones who suffer --- Instead of cutting leverage, why not first regulate market manipulation? --- Laughing to death, banning meme coins—how can retail play? Do they have to go back to buying Moutai? --- Protection in the name of freedom, deprivation of rights—an eternal power game --- Always a trade-off, there is no perfect solution, it all depends on whose voice is louder --- Remembered, every time there is large-scale regulation, someone cheers, and then a year later, the problems are still there --- Without risk management tools, do risks really disappear? That's funny --- Mixing OnlyFans, DoorDash, and meme coins... this logic is a bit extreme --- Systemic risk and freedom of innovation have always been mortal enemies, they can't coexist
