Just like 2017, of course they are getting hurt in 2022.

That's why schemes like ICOs that were popular years ago (Thanks to Ethereum /s) were made illegal in the US. [0] Many countries like the UK, Canada, etc to follow.

It is inevitable that regulations will be put in place and cryptocurrencies that are compliant will still be around.
