Regulatory crackdowns on crypto exchanges sound good on paper. Yet in reality, tightening compliance rules won't magically eliminate terrorism financing or money laundering globally. Nor will stricter oversight suddenly create a more peaceful world or make everyone's lives safer. The gap between regulatory intentions and real-world outcomes? Pretty wide.

It's just a paper exercise. Do you really think that strengthening KYC can stop the bad guys? That's naive. The stricter the regulations, the hotter the black market gets. Why is this so hard to understand? Well said, there's a world of difference between intention and reality; regulatory bodies can just tell stories. Isn't it just a waste of people's effort and resources? In the end, the compliance costs are still borne by the users. This is the core of the problem; surface-level measures won't change the essence. Can we eliminate terrorist financing through rules? Wake up, the underground market is waiting. Regulatory crackdowns = political performance; the real money has long since left.

yeah, the gap between regulatory theater and actual outcomes is basically a chasm at this point. tightening compliance rules doesn't implement trustlessness—it just pushes everything into darker corners. mathematically speaking, you can't solve a systemic problem with surface-level controls. the protocol doesn't care about your kyc forms.

Ironically, every time regulators step in, the real black market moves somewhere else to continue the party, while retail investors here get stuck tightly [cold laugh] --- Data shows that throughout history, no wave of regulation has truly stopped money laundering; it’s just moved the problem to unseen places --- Interesting, do regulatory authorities really think that adding KYC can save the world? Then why do traditional financial issues still make headlines every day? --- Objectively speaking, this is a typical policy theater—entertaining but ineffective --- Remember the 2008 wave? People also thought that strengthening regulation would be the ultimate solution, but what happened... history is really repeating itself, brother --- Not to criticize, but I suggest everyone first look at this data: last year, global money laundering amounts actually increased year over year, stricter regulation is useless --- Ironically, more and more people realize that the official forces can't effectively combat it, and instead end up making themselves look pathetic [funny] --- Just want to ask, will those who truly want to do bad things obediently wait for your regulation?

The good policies on paper are still the same old story in reality, and the gap is really damn big.

Regulation is just a paper tiger. Do you really think banning exchanges can stop the flow of dirty money? Laughable, it just pushes activities to the dark web. --- It's the same old rhetoric... No matter how good the paper articles look, they can't change reality. --- There are countless compliance rules, but bad actors are still bad actors. The gap is huge and undeniable. --- Basically, the government is just self-indulgent. Exchanges are being cracked down hard, while black markets are becoming even more rampant. --- Regulation claims to be for safety, but what’s the result? It’s just concentrating power. --- How is that possible... This logic is fundamentally flawed. No matter how many bans, some things just can't be prohibited. --- That’s why Web3 needs to be decentralized. No matter how many rules there are, it’s all just talk.
