IMO letting crypto die by itself is the best way to prove it sucks.

If any blockchain was forbidden, there would be a huge PR stress and infinite arguments about their viabilities.

Just let morons fail.

Yep. Too many regulators have been on the trail of Tether and its ilk for too long for any of what's about to come to take them by surprise. Crypto being strangled in the crib by regulators makes them look like exactly the villains all the crypto advocates portray them as. Crypto being detonated by a huge number of blatant Ponzi schemes, on the other hand, is nothing but upside for the regulators.

Tether may also have been allowed to proceed as a sort of test bed for the CBDCs which seem to be on the agenda. Now the narrative can be "the public has already demonstrated strong demand for USD-type cryptocurrencies, we just need to supply an official version."
