Yup, and obviously there is a lot of sketchy stuff happening with crypto all the time.

However for most people, operating within the regulatory guidelines, crypto is nothing more than something they invest in and make money from. Just like stocks. Therefore the government will be inclined to work with it because they can make a lot of tax revenue.
