It’s always amusing to see crypto people claiming that mathematics can’t be regulated. Just like they can’t regulate chemistry, right?
Well, actually it’s always the peoples behavior that is regulated. Obviously no one can stop you mixing chemicals in private but they can totally tell you what you can and can’t do in public with it. The same thing goes for crypto, you can calculate block hash all you want but they can intervene if you engage in a business deal with someone else.
Oh and regulation doesn’t mean ban, necessarily. It means rules on how you deal with it so that the risk of unwanted consequences is reduced. You can expect to have rules on how you keep the money if you run a stablecoin for example.
