One of the major points of having a government is to create these regulations that make it less likely for individuals to suffer from the actions of other people and organizations. Another major point is to help people in need using the collective efforts of society. Programs like FDIC in the United States exist to serve both of these: it's an extra set of regulations for banks, and compliant banks will be bailed out if circumstances require. If I choose an FDIC bank and the owners run off with my money, I didn't make an avoidable mistake, any more than being mugged in the street is me making a mistake. If you oppose that, you're gunning for an eventual repeat of the Great Depression. >> I think my concerns are rather normal.

I suspect more techies use zloty than ethereum.
