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

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! We need MORE regulation of crypto, not government cheerleading. Let the free market decide, but don't use taxpayer resources to promote what's essentially become a sophisticated Ponzi scheme playground for international criminals!

this topic is not just abt americans

You're absolutely right - this isn't just about Americans! But that makes my case even STRONGER, not weaker! Look, you want to talk global? Let's talk global reality. Developing economies are ahead of developed countries in cryptocurrency adoption [1]. You know why? Because they're DESPERATE! These aren't sophisticated financial decisions - they're Hail Mary passes from people with worthless currencies and corrupt banking systems. Nigeria has one of the youngest populations looking to escape widespread poverty, where pyramid schemes proliferate, and government capital controls push people to seek decentralized solutions [1]. That's not a success story - that's economic chaos driving people into digital gambling! And here's the kicker about government encouragement - in Nigeria, with 33% investing in crypto, government crackdowns have stifled adoption by restricting telecom access to crypto platforms and discontinuing local currency transactions [1]. Even the Nigerian government realized they had to pump the brakes on this madness! You want governments encouraging something that's primarily used by desperate people fleeing economic instability? Cryptocurrencies fill a trust vacuum in countries with high instability, while in stable economies adoption is slower and driven by speculation due to greater trust in financial institutions [1]. Government encouragement should build stability, not amplify the very economic chaos that drives people to these digital casinos in the first place!
