Hoping I'm not the only one in here feeling this way or I assume S.W.A.T. will be at my door in a few minutes. 

I see most of the forum members in here thinking we need the government to step in to regulate crypto.  I see others flocking to KYC to make sure they get the latest airdrop all the while losing the precious commodity of privacy.  I even see others hoping and praying we get the ETF approval so prices will really skyrocket and we can all get rich.  The ETF is going to steal control away form us and give it to the paper pushers.  Everything the majority of the forum is doing and hoping for is giving the movement away to the same power structure which is screwing us all over. 

We need no regulations.  We need no KYC.  We need no ETF's.  What we need to do is show the world why Bitcoin is better than government FIAT and let Bitcoin take over that way.  We have a real shot at gaining freedom of finances however it seems most are tripping over themselves to give all that away to the government as quickly as possible.

Please consider government interference in crypto for the future generations sake.  They will not have the amazing earning potential we have.  They will just get a shit sandwich of every transaction they make begin on a public ledger.  Perfect tax slaves.  Are we handing our kids over to the system by allowing the governments to just step in like this? 

I have seen posts here of some of the non-native English speakers talking about how the new rules are hard on them.  I agree somewhat so I started thinking about ways they can contribute without the need of long elaborate posts.  I assume some of our members have different levels of education so I have a soft spot for the guy attempting to climb up the ranks but does not have the required skills or knowledge to contribute at this moment.

What if we have a 2 for 1 system where if a newbie can ferret out a multiple account scammer with screenshots and links with definitive undeniable proof they will receive 1 merit for the work.  We will be losing scammers at a rate of 2 to 1 with this type of merit scheme at worst case.  Worst case we replace 2 scam accounts with a single scam account.  If we get a good guy then the gain is huge as we eliminate 2 scam accounts and gain a valuable forum member.   In addition to this we will be training the next generation of forum members to be on the lookout for scammers.  Also the scammers will no doubt eventually turn on each other.  That's when the fun and satisfaction really happens!  I feel like if we add a few more layers of hell for the scammers they will eventually fade away.  It's barely cost effective to do bounty work at this time anyways.  By the temper tantrums you see you know the new system is hurting them.  I feel like there are more ways to turn the heat up on them while at the same time rewarding newbies coming up the ranks.  This place is brutal on newbies.  Maybe rightful so but we may also be mowing down and stifling potential good guys by accident. 

If the newbie tries a false accusation or does not provide rock hard evidence he gets the boot and gets to start over.

Some key spots where this system could be utilized and effective is patrolling Twitter and Facebook unique post links in the bounty section  You will eliminate massive amounts of people right there as the abuse is rampant and the fraud goes unveiled as they figure no one will click the link.  I will see a run of the exact same tweet done by 10 separate accounts. 

I see a lot of fear in this forum when the prices sink or there is an event that happens which shakes up the news cycle concerning crypto.  I also see tons of posts with rookie traders getting themselves into trouble and freaking out looking for help.   Most veterans know crypto runs in cycles and simply waiting and being patient when you get yourself in trouble is the recipe for success however, emotional traders and hodlers seem to forget this very basic knowledge when the market sinks.   

I also believe the bankers, corporations and governments are entering the market and eventually will take the entire space over pushing all the little guys like us out of our own game.  Every time they whipsaw the markets little guys get crushed and eventually fall out of the ranks which leaves less of the real enthusiasts around to make sure crypto and all its features including privacy have a fair chance once we go mainstream. 

What if we had a section for people who need a little reassurance and help if they get into trouble.  If some of these more frantic posters had a support group of people in the same position to talk things over with we may be able to help them make the best possible decision and keep them around to help in the battle.  There are even instances where people have killed themselves over a bad trade which I have heard about on this forum.  What if we had a spot specifically for these issues and some could be resolved with a successful story.  I feel like the forum wins and crypto wins if we all support each other in these early and wild days. 

I know we can't play daddy and make decisions for people but it would be cool if we had a place someone could turn to for some quick guidance and recommendations to take some of the sting out of the pain.  It would also be great to see an entire forum full of people in the exact same boat.  That alone would take the sting out and help people get back on track.
