Regulatory Capture is greatest in the crypto industry. 

In a young industry where law is trying to catch up to crypto innovation, regulators are being bribed not to understand crypto and not to talk about even a little bit of regulation and enforcement.

The crypto industry has enormous power.

Are you allowed to bribe a regulatory? 

How do we define bribe?

Why do we want crypto to have a big lobby-- don't bitcoiners hate gov?... now they are trying to push their own agenda like every other group that grows in economic power- they want political power. Part of this is the state. It pits one interest group against another. Either seize power or be denominated by those who do. Bitcoin was meant to be something that couldn't be beholden to political actions. What the crypto lobby is doing has nothing to do then with bitcoin and everything to do with niche interests in crypto that can be beholden to political actions.
