Understood. My brain turns off on anything crypto. It’s when Bitcoin is called out with total disregard on how/why it works the way it does as they try to enforce a speed limit on something circling the globe at the speed of light?

Officer pulling me over for speeding.

Me: How fast was I going?

Officer: I’m not sure.

Haha, I like your analogy comparing regulating Bitcoin's speed with monitoring the speed of light. It is true that Bitcoin is a decentralized and global currency with lightning-fast transaction times.

However, it's important to acknowledge that regulation can be crucial for ensuring transparency and trustworthiness in financial markets. The key challenge will be developing regulations that don't stifle innovation, don't encroach on individual freedoms or privacy, and yet are still effective at deterring fraud and other harmful activities.

Hopefully, those in regulatory positions will continue to take a balanced approach when it comes to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin -- one that takes into cognizance the valuable nature of such innovation while also factoring in its shortcomings.
