"Yeah, we messed up. But hey, at least we cleaned up most of the mess ourselves." That's basically what the world's central banks are probably thinking right now when they need to have that awkward conversation with their governments about all the financial chaos they've caused over the years. The irony? They made the rules, they broke the rules, and now they're acting like they're doing us all a favor by patching things up. Meanwhile, crypto communities watch this theater unfold and wonder why anyone still trusts traditional finance to regulate itself.

Breaking your own rules and then expecting us to be grateful? That's hilarious.

lmao the self-regulation cope is *peak* traditional finance theater. they literally wrote their own rulebook then claimed victory for not burning the whole thing down. meanwhile we're out here building systems that don't need intermediaries to pretend they're trustworthy... kinda says everything tbh

Laughing out loud, the central bank is that kind of guy who starts the fire and then takes credit for putting it out.

Laughing to death, writing the rules yourself and breaking them, then taking credit for it. Traditional finance really knows how to play.

Laughing out loud, I'm tired of the central bank's rhetoric. Making the rules themselves, breaking them, and then fixing them? Isn't that just a game of self-censorship?

Making your own rules and breaking your own rules, and now you want us to be grateful? That's hilarious.

We're tired of the central bank's trick of "digging a hole and filling it themselves."

Laughing out loud, the central bank's way of saying "we'll clean up the mess ourselves" is really something else. Still expecting applause?
