Simultaneously wow and "of course". Glad you didn't get fooled.
One of the prices we pay for the freedom is vigilance. We pay a fee to banks so that we don't have to be so vigilant and they can undo the stupid things we do.
Whilst it is a pain and quite inefficient to have to wade through the scams doing due diligence I do hope that they don't regulate the crypto world. It's good to have a very free place where creativity can be let loose and massive progress can happen unhindered. Kind of like a real world sandbox.
