Too many malicious actors in crypto for it to become mainstream, sorry, not sorry

The community needs to self police and remove this problem if they ever want me to give it a third chance. There are several other fundamental issues in crypto, so not sure this will be enough on its own to reach mainstream adoption

For example, I don't want my transaction history on a public ledger, encrypted or not

"Crypto needs to self-police and remove malicious actors" and "Crypto needs to stop having a public ledger" are two contradictory actions where achieving one would make the other impossible.

How so? Plenty of private system are fully capable of removing bad actors, if anything they become easier together
