In that sense, crypto to me is like a consultancy taking a complex, legacy codebase and saying it'll be easier to rewrite it from scratch.

We see how that plays out all the time. Something shiny and new is produced but it completely fails to take into account why the original system was so complex. Given enough time, it becomes just as complex as the old system, if not more complex.

Satoshi is a pure ancap, the lack of regulations is a feature for them. Being able to be a grifter and scam people is a feature, not a bug to most of the cryptocurrency community.
