Expect regulations to tighten like they did in recent years that contributed to this.
Yep. I never heard of this exchange and don't really know what happened, but when the government has to go in and take control of an exchange, you can bet there are going to be laws passed--especially if people have lost significant sums of money. Crackdowns always happen after situations like these, and you can bet that other countries are paying attention to what's going on.
F**k these licenses and other BS. Bitcoin is not designed for that
I agree with your assessment, but countries are always going to try to regulate stuff like this. I'm actually surprised that so many unregulated exchanges still exist these days and that so few laws have been passed thus far. The crypto world isn't going to remain in the wild west days forever, and I imagine that things are going to look much, much different in another ten years or so.
