Absolutely, I believe in the system built over centuries through pain and blood and visionaries. I believe in the democratic election process which elects officials that can be removed and I believe in government and its institutions that are essential for communities to evolve in relative peace and prosperity. Consequently, I don't believe in anarchy or libertarianism and didn't realize when I bought into cryptos and BTC in particular that the ideology behind it is a financial system separated from institutional oversight. I do understand that in some countries, democratic or not, where the economy is always in disarray, BTC can be perceived as a way for individuals to protect their asset from the mayhem, and I believe BTC was created as a solution. However, it is obvious that it took all of about 2 seconds for anyone with fraudulent assets to recognize BTC as a solution to their problems and probably financed crypto's development. I've not heard one perfectly good reason for transitioning to BTC the way you see it, knowing that some of the biggest actors in the space are bad actors (that you think are good actors because they support the system that you hope will make you very rich). Russian oligarchs, Chinese scammers, African leaders, Burmese military, drug lords, arm dealers, and anyone looking for a tax evasion solution... These are the good guys because they are all in on BTC???
Keep in mind that Sam's "love" for regulators was that he wanted them in his pocket and to tailor regulations to boost FTX at the expense of other competitors (if possible). The classic example of this was Sam's approach to regulators in the U.S. market where what he was proposing was "regulations" to regulators and politicians which should shut his competitor, Binance, out of the U.S. market.. and effectively put crypto U.S. "regulations" in place which were just illusionary with no teeth for regulating exchanges like FTX.
