Education Lawmakers

Lawmakers are not taking crypto seriously. At least, they thought it was just a FOMO. However, since the Central Banks are printing as much as they can, the economy is tanking more and more. There are foreseeable losses on job markets and employments that people will never want to come back to work. How to make people work to earn is the question lawmakers are seeking to answer.

Crypto Is Gambling

This is what lawmaker’s perspective about cryptocurrency. It is gambling. You do not know what it is worth yet you buy and hope to gain with large returns. There is not fundamental as many traditional financial industry leaders were always referring to. 

Government Is the Biggest Gambler

Until the Fed printed massive money to pump the liquidity up, no one really images how the government can gamble its future until now. The crypto is just a gamble of a small amount. The biggest player is the government who gambles with generations of the future.

Teach Lawmakers How to Make Laws

The majority of lawmakers are in their own imaginary land with a happy fiat currency future that can save everything. They do not care or do not want to understand cryptos because there is no need to. However, the current economy is at the edge of collapsing with massive debts and more printing of money to pump up inflation. There is no solution for the future but to push current issues further down in the road.

Future Generations Are Victims

The more money to print out, the more debts the future needs to pay off. Of course, there is an argument that money does not need to pay off. But the leverage makes inflation high enough to eat out any margin profits and put many businesses out. 

Can Crypto Save the Future

If the future is risky, crypto may help people to avoid the risk by owning the risk. The risk is about miss pricing valuation because the market is volatile without any directions. Crypto is an already miss pricing asset which can weather uncertainty. Compared to fiat currency which is more stable and will miss out on any potential changes in the future.

In Conclusion

Lawmakers are gaining more interest in crypto and want to know what they are. But it is the industry to help everyone understand how crypto can benefit society in the long run than continue sacrificing futures.
