The "younger generation" might be naive to think unwillingness to regulate is the same as inability to regulate.

I hope you realize Bitcoin isn't untraceable.

It's untraceable until you withdraw, which you can do in plenty of countries anonymously.

My point being that comparing the internet to other industries in regards to regulation isn't going to have the same behaviour.

That's not true either... Bitcoin scams are busted all the time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency_tracing

It's not unlike tracking down a pirate radio signal, someone has to care and invest the resources into it.

Piracy is a good example, they pop up and they get taken down. Child sex abuse material is the same. We regulate content on the Internet.

You're falling for some BS propaganda from huge tech companies that profit off user submitted content arguing that they can't possibly manage their platforms properly.

Nobody said shitting out your garbage opinion on every huge web platform is an inalienable right (ironic?). We can hold YouTube and Meta accountable for their platforms' content.

If I call a TV station and spew racism on air they'll still get a fine.

Bitcoin scams are busted all the time, because they don't understand how to use the correct process to stay anonymous.

If you wanna keep personally insulting me, go ahead but I'm not falling for "BS propaganda" I'm talking from experience. If you use the right tools the only way you will ever get caught with Bitcoin is when you make a withdrawal.

Tracing Bitcoin is possible I admit but tying it to a person is impossible until you go to pick up.

As for the original topic on regulation, I'll stand my ground. You can try to regulate but they internet will always find a work around. Always has, always will.

If your just talking about YouTube and Meta than our ideas of the internet is very, very different. The internet isn't tied to big corperations like you think, those are just the ISPs the majority uses.
