> but large centralized businesses are going to have a hard time avoiding regulation in the long term.

I think the key phrase here is "in the long term". Who says Bitfinex is in it for the long term? They say it? Why do you trust them?

A typical business will try to make money off you any way they can, scamming you if they deem it is profitable. The more legally gray area the business is in, the more likely it is you'll get scammed.

I think 'oolongCat was trying to point out that a centralized Bitcoin business may very well understand decentralization perfectly; that doesn't mean they will care about it in any way.
