Cryptocurrency is hot.

Regulations are not.

Human nature is a funny thing. The same adventurous attitude that creates new monetary systems will fight tooth and nail to maximize returns on capital. When the adventurous spirit goes bad, it will even resort to theft and deceit.

This is why it is necessary to have regulations in business. For all their shortcomings, regulations give us a framework in which to operate fairly.
But reading and understanding regulations takes a very different mindset than the cryptocurrency investor and futurist has. The former is meticulous, rule focused, risk averse, cautious, and often suspicious of outrageous claims.
On the other hand, the successful cryptocurrency investor often overlooks the rules, welcomes risk (and alpha), ignores the experts, and embraces volatility. It is easier to beg forgiveness, than to ask permission.

The difference is especially obvious on Twitter, where lawyers such as @NelsonRosario or @PrestonjByrne are exceedingly cautious in what they believe will work, while investment types like @APompliano and @ethereumJoseph are much more ready to push the limits-always within moral frameworks (don’t lie, cheat or steal) but sometimes outside of established bureaucratic norms (was the Ethereum crowdsale an unregistered securities sale or is blockchain innovative enough to be an altogether different animal?).

Fortune favors the bold. The dreamers jump first and think second, while the regulators look back and figure out how to prevent others from breaking the systems and losing other peoples’ money.
