I still do not have good understanding exactly how crypto currencies worked other than they rely on complex block chain algorithms and crypto algorithms. I still do not know if they are a legitimate currency. My current issue with them is their reliance on ultra largescale super server center farm operations which are predicted to overtax our current power grids on a scale of heavy industry and electric cars

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.

 @9TMMVLNfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

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.

 @BCVFSG6from Saskatchewan  answered…4wks4W

Yes, just be survieled very carefully.

 @BCRCYV8from Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

Yes, but only for tax purposes.

 @BCPMMVKfrom Nova Scotia  answered…1mo1MO

Yes and no? I think it needs to be more known as to what people are getting into and not what cryptocurrency people want them to believe because so many people go into it being told it will double your money so they just give more and more money in hopes to be rich soon. So i just don't think theres enough knowledge on cryptocurrencies. And i dont think its fair for the government to tell you not to spend your money on it but I do think it needs to be 'safer'.

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
