someone buying crypto art got all his tokens stolen and the crypto website he uses won't help him get it back because they claim it's his fault and the whole point of Bitcoin is that it's unregulated

I'm telling you this so you can enjoy the genius of this reply in the comments.
"This is the libertarian world working as intended. Feel free to purchase whatever justice you can afford."
let me repeat

he got his account hacked and all his stuff stolen

the website owners confirmed that it happened and know who did it

but they won't help because there's no regulations that compel them to.

unlike with a bank where his money would be back with him already
and yet the entire selling point of Bitcoin is that there are no regulations and you can't be compelled by anyone to do anything for any reason. perfect freedom! including the freedom to have all your stuff stolen with no protections or recourse.

there's a saying about sowing
he did manage to get some of his money back

...by filing a complaint with his credit card which he used to purchase some of the tokens.

so the regulated form of currency was the only protection he got.
like. at some point you can't do anything but laugh at their delusions.
