Regulation will never work, never. It's not like trading human organs is outlawed or anything.

If crypto only ever rises to the level of the human organ trade, it will have failed to deliver on pretty much all of its promises.

If you think the human organ trade doesn't exist, some Uighurs would like a word with you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_trade#Illegal_organ_trad...

"Despite ordinances against organ sales, this practice persists, with studies estimating that anywhere from 5% to 42% of transplanted organs are illicitly purchased."
