You can say what you want about regulation. But in an unregulated market (alt coins) 99.9% committed fraud, one way or another, by lying to investors. We seem not to have solutions to the problem that lying is profitable. That would be a big thing to solve.

Common sense should tell people that if it sounds too good to be true then it is too good to be true
Bitcoin promises sound too good to be true.
Bitcoin promises nothing, it just is.
Which promises? I think you are conflating what Bitcoin is and what influenzas say it is. Again, common sense should prevail
It’s a dig on your “common sense” argument. The “common sense” is driven by mass media, and what is common today is absolutely bonkers for someone a few years ago. Common sense is not a measuring stick.
Duels to the death for any wrong doing to your person would solve this.
People buy any lie because they have been operating on an artificially safe environment
Should bad actors be regulated or should victims ensure they are better informed? I don't think there's a one-size-fits-all solution to this.
