As I mentioned, it's a matter of priorities, not whataboutism. We should fix the financial system: how about we start with Citizens United, with lobbying in Washington, with more stringent insider trading rules, etc.? This (definitionally) should be of a higher priority than the blockchain—if we really care about fixing the financial system. Lamenting that the blockchain might get "regulatory favors" when the government spent $700 billion bailing out the banks in 2008 is so tone-deaf it's almost in poor taste.
