What do you suggest should be done Viewtiful?

A crackdown on people trying to reel innocents in would be nice. Some action taken after a scam is identified. You hear about these people who are so far in they fall straight into denial after being scammed and even if they don't it's not like the cult around them are going to break character to sympathise. We had a topic a little while ago where a guy was getting people to open up about depression, pushing NFTs on them and then acting about as insincere as possible when pressed on it and asked about scams the nature of what he was doing. It was grimy and a perfect showing of the crypto personality in action, there should have been some rules against that sort of thing. I really don't like seeing these people trying their pyramid scheme shit and going unopposed.

A worse public image or more education on the topic could help. A lot of people are quick to start laughing upon mention of this stuff which is a start but you've still got your people who hear they can make money and leap head first in.
Gambling should be taken more seriously on the whole, we've already got this shit and those F2P games ridden with lootboxes and limited time microtransactions taking advantage of these kinds of personalities. Even more so because this is less waste money to spin the wheel more go into uncharted waters and haplessly attempt to compete with professional con artists. I hear tech illiterates are on the rise again with how everything's been simplified down to a touch screen so that's most likely some cause for alarm.

There's probably no point saying 'Oh just ban it all, release the scammers who've flocked to it en masse back into the wild to prey on innocents again' because I do think we're stuck with it unfortunately but a lot more could be done to sternly warn people about the real nature of what they're getting into.
