Should the government implement stricter regulations on the use of cryptocurrencies?

Crypto technology offers tools like payment, lending, borrowing, and saving to anyone with an internet connection. Proponents argue that stricter regulations would deter criminal use. Opponents argue that stricter crypto regulation would limit financial opportunities to citizens that are denied access to or can't afford the fees associated with traditional banking.

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.

They are corrupt

 @BCVFSG6from Saskatchewan  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, just be survieled very carefully.

 @BCRCYV8from Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but only for tax purposes.

 @BCPMMVKfrom Nova Scotia  answered…3mos3MO

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'.
