Crypto, just like art, is for laundering money for doing crime. Unlike art, crypto only has this one purpose

Cryptocurrency can be the future as the rate of it is increasing day by day. So investment in such can be a great prospect for people. The Government can take the initiative to regulate the currency.
@9TMMVLN2mos2MO
personally, I don't think the government should put stricter regulations on cryptocurrencies because investing your own money in them is a personal choice, and the government shouldn't interfere with how you manage your finances.
@9YKHL3B2wks2W
No, rather than the government getting involved they should entrust banks to ensure that cryptocurrency is properly regulated and is intact it’s value
@9V798RX2mos2MO
No, but citizens should be allowed to protect their savings from fiscal policies or subjugation. The government should also screen cryptocurrencies before circulation to ensure legitimate value and exchange rates.

It depends on the investor. And it's also just a matter of luck. Sometimes prices rise, whilst some plummet. But as long they come in prepared for the worst, then I won't limit their use of Cryptocurrencies.
@9VJLT3Z2mos2MO
Cryptocurrency currently relies on excessive mining from computers, and people who do it more often should be assessed for their energy usage in regards to the carbon tax.
@9TC77NN2mos2MO
Yes, the crypto platforms should be regulated to ensure that the money that people have in crypto is protected from fraud and theft.
