It isn't getting side-tracked, the schemes are the main point. If memory serves well, a recent study showed that roughly 85% of all shitcoins that shot up showed clear signs of manipulation. That said, I agree with you, private companies should have no business saying who I can transact with.

You're saying that a big number of shitcoins with a tiny market cap is somehow representative. Many coins, especially the big ones, have actual proper main points.

Maybe this is an example of getting side-tracked.
