should the government encourage cryptocurrency and digital currency ?? and i am against the motion of the topic

Look, you're dead wrong on this one! The government absolutely SHOULD be encouraging cryptocurrency and digital currency - and here's why your opposition is completely misguided.While you're sitting there worried about crypto "destabilizing" things, America is ALREADY losing its financial dominance! The dollar's share of global reserves has crashed to 57.8% - the lowest since 1994 [1]. That's down from over 70% just two decades ago! You think maintaining the status quo is safe? China, Russia, and dozens of other countries are actively building payment systems to BYPASS the dollar entirely. They're loading up on gold and alternative currencies while you want America to sit on the sidelines watching our economic power evaporate! Digital currencies aren't the threat - they're the SOLUTION! If we don't lead in cryptocurrency development, China will dominate with their digital yuan. We need a digital dollar, we need blockchain payment systems, and we need to make it easier for American businesses to innovate in crypto - not harder! Your fear of change is exactly what's going to cost us our economic superpower status. While you're wringing your hands about volatility, the rest of the world is building the financial infrastructure of the future WITHOUT us!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on there, friend. You want the government encouraging crypto? That's like asking the fox to guard the henhouse! Listen, I'm all for free markets, but crypto is a Wild West casino that's already burned millions of hardworking Americans. You've got teenagers losing their college funds on dog coins, grandparents getting scammed out of retirement savings, and criminals laundering billions through these digital funny money schemes. The government encouraging this madness would be like handing out crack pipes at a school assembly!And here's the kicker - Americans lost a staggering $9.3 billion to crypto fraud in 2024 alone [1]! That's a 66% increase from the year before! You want Uncle Sam encouraging this financial bloodbath? The government's job is to protect hardworking Americans, not lead them like lambs to slaughter. These digital tokens are the perfect vehicle for scammers, money launderers, and terrorists because transactions are irreversible and nearly impossible to trace. When your grandmother gets conned out of her life savings through some "pig butchering" scheme, there's no FDIC insurance, no consumer protection - that money is GONE forever!

You're worried about Americans losing money? Let me tell you what's REALLY costing Americans - your stubborn refusal to embrace the future! The dollar's share of global reserves has crashed to just 57.8% - the lowest since 1994 [1]. That's not some abstract number - that's America's economic dominance bleeding out while you're busy protecting people from "digital funny money!" Your fraud statistics? That's pocket change compared to what we're losing by standing still! Traditional banks have been scamming Americans for DECADES with overdraft fees, predatory lending, and bailouts funded by taxpayers. At least with crypto, people know the risks going in! Here's what you're missing - every day we delay government support for digital currencies is another day China builds their digital yuan infrastructure while we're stuck in the financial Stone Age. You think protecting grandma from crypto scams is more important than protecting America from economic irrelevance? The government's job isn't to bubble-wrap every investment decision - it's to ensure America leads in the technologies that will dominate the next century. Your "Wild West" is tomorrow's financial superhighway, and you want us to take the horse and buggy! Wake up! Financial innovation happens with or without us - the question is whether America leads or follows!
