If people are free to create their own currency we're free to mock them.

Apparently you seek some sort of regulation to stop people writing mean things.

Apparently questioning why people are being negative = seeking regulation to stop them? Come on man.

Depends. What if people lose all their money and become homeless? Ever wondered why governments save failing banks?

I am just not entirely convinced that when shit hits the fan people will quietly take responsibility for their actions.

Indeed I have, why not just take them over and reimburse their creditors instead?

Yea, just people being silly. They can do what they want with their money. And it doesn't look like anyone actually invested $70M worth of human effort there; it's just illusions of the market cap metric.

It's safer for everyone if government controls the currency we use.
