Policy is always about tradeoffs. Is it your stance that the creator of Reddit tip bots should have to register fingerprints with the FBI, hand over personal financial info, send quarterly reports with to the Superintendent with audited financial statements, collect the real identities and physical addresses of all senders and recipients, assign a compliance officer, hire an outside firm to do pentesting, get permission before releasing a new product, service, or features, and have an undisclosed amount of USD funds bonded to NY State along with an undisclosed amount on hand just to operate a simple app? What about open source projects that are not corporations?

Yes, that is exactly my stance. Find another hobby outside of playing with people's money.
