> There's no hidden costs, no hidden contracts or things you didn't sign up for

, no protection against collusion, no rules against "insider" trading (as in, people acting before publishing token information, groups orchestrating pump&dumps), no rules about publishing false information about companies/projects, etc.

You forgot wash trading. You could basically use SEC regulations developed over roughly the past century as a playbook to game crypto markets.
