The main (and to some people, only) point of laws is to protect people _from other people_, not from _themselves_.

It’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard...to not protect someone because they should have been smarter than to act upon a desire selfish desire to make money, well no shit that’s why fraud and cons work, because almost everyone acts on the desire to make money. It’s why people have jobs and work, that doesn’t give employers a green light to defraud employees.
Should all those old people who fall for scams down to the Nigerian price email scams not be protected because they are stupid and acted selfishly?
Let’s say a casino rigged a deck of cards or rigged a slot machine and falsely advertised the odds of winning to the public, would victims not be entitled to protection because they are stupid and acted in a greedy way to get rich?
Why shouldn’t the victims of Elon, all the Twitter bots , and those behind them, that are pumping and dumping Doge be protect besides calling them stupid and greedy? What is it is shown millions of the victims are actually just kids that idolize musk? Are they still just stupid and greedy and thus deserve to be scammed?
Just to be very clear, even if everything about your argument was correct (which I don't grant), you're talking about hypothetical future victims, in a hypothetical crypto crash, because Dogecoin (along with the rest of crypto) is at a dramatic all-time high.
Doge isn’t a scam, it (as with all crypto investments) behaves like any other investment vehicle, except that it has no inherent value and produces no value.
