I'd be curious to read anyone's thoughts on what would have to happen for crypto to improve its image at this point. Would being regulated exactly like traditional banking / finance be enough? More regulation? Would it be regulation + lower rates of fraud, hacks, collapse, and abuse? Or something else I'm not thinking of?
Transparency. Crypto has almost everything needed to be fully transparent with a public ledger but exchanges (CEXes) still operate behind closed doors.
