The US Clarity Act Sparks Debate: The Dilemma Between Freedom and Scale

The crypto market is at a turning point. Opinions within the industry are divided regarding the US Clarity Act proposal. Some believe that this legislation will provide a clear regulatory framework for the industry and promote healthy development; others worry that excessive regulation could stifle innovation.

The core of this controversy lies in: how to strike a balance between protecting investors and maintaining industry freedom? Both positions have their merits, but which side better aligns with the long-term interests of the crypto ecosystem remains a matter of ongoing debate within the industry.

Regulation is always a lose-lose situation. When the Clarity Act is announced, everyone says it's good; but once it’s actually implemented, people start complaining about being restricted. Wake up, everyone. --- Freedom and protecting investors are like a fish and a bear’s paw—you can't have both. If I have to choose, I prefer to loosen regulations because, in the end, the chives will always be harvested. --- It's the same old tired argument. Whether regulated or not, there are always complaints. Is it never-ending? --- The Clarity Act coming actually makes things more confusing? Just from the headline, I can tell this is not going to work. --- Honestly, this kind of "dilemma" statement is a false proposition. The industry has long had vested interests pushing the steering. --- Laughable, the rules aren’t even set yet, and they’re already singing the "balance" tune. When the bill is actually implemented, all the nice words will have to give way to interests. --- Instead of stressing over balance, it’s better to see who can profit from it. Market logic is always more honest than regulatory logic.

Clarity Act? Basically, it's about wanting to regulate but not daring to, and this balance point is simply unfindable.

It's the same old story again, balance, balance. In the end, isn't it just the regulators wanting to harvest a wave?

The Clarity Act is back again. Will it really be implemented this time? Honestly, it's still a gamble on policy direction.

Regulation is coming, so what? Anyway, the big players have already left. Small and retail investors are still here debating the Clarity Act, haha, it's hilarious.

Regulation has arrived, and it's here to stay. Instead of stressing over it, think about how to survive. Anyway, Bitcoin hasn't gained many points.

Regulation is coming, and it’s coming. Instead of fussing, think about how to survive in the cracks... --- Same old rhetoric, protecting investors, promoting innovation, tired of hearing it. In the end, it’s still the capital’s voice that wins. --- Clarity Act? I see it as a clarity scam. The big players are well aware. --- Basically, it’s either be suffocated by regulation or grow wildly. There’s no third way. --- Every time it’s so torn apart, who the hell can truly represent the ecosystem’s interests... --- I just want to know how likely it is to pass. Don’t talk about balance or that nonsense.

Regulation comes and says it stifles innovation; if it doesn't come, it claims there's no order. This issue will never end.
