> a whole industry of HUMANS will pop up that will (a) become an intermediary in crypto/DeFi transactions to ensure that fraud, errors, etc are prevented; (b) introduce mechanisms to revert transactions (controlled by said HUMANS); (c) perform the massive paperwork on compliance (KIC, register big transaction, check against blacklists, etc)

When they do that they'll realize they no longer get any benefit from the underlying asset being a cryptocurrency (since it is no longer trustless as the humans are able to reverse transactions) and will switch back to a trust-based system with a good old database as the ledger.
