Although I am not from Australia, I find this article and info provided very interesting. It shows me that basic idea behind crypto market as first really free and deregulated market probably would not be feasible to sustain, due to all scammers around it. What is your opinion on that?
 
Thanks Oscarra for sharing your opinion on this forum. I also think that there is no possibility that crypto market would be left unregulated by government of many countries. And, I think that it would be mostly due to possibility of tax evasion through investments in crypto

No tax evasion in the above article

“The money, police told him, travelled through the account of 'a small bank in Birmingham' before being sold on as cryptocurrency, passing through 15 further accounts and ending up in Ukraine.”

Evidently the money travelled without any ownership :rolleyes:

“ However, the rules are not crystal clear and it is likely there will be many grey areas. So if you are unsure it is always worth referring your complaint to the Ombudsman. It is a free service so you have nothing to lose.”

One may wonder why Rules are never clear when it comes to consumer protection
