Decentralized and Transparent Financial System:

The transparency offered by blockchain technology provides an opportunity for a more open and auditable financial system. Every transaction on public blockchains is traceable, allowing law enforcement and regulators to track and investigate illicit activity far more effectively than with traditional cash.
Emerging technologies for blockchain analytics are making it possible to enforce compliance and track illicit activities within the cryptocurrency ecosystem, thus reducing the concerns related to crime and fraud without needing a ban.

No, and underprivileged citizens deserve the same financial opportunities and services that traditional banks offer the wealthy

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...11mos11MO

No, and citizens should be allowed to protect their savings from reckless fiscal policies or subjugation

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...11mos11MO

Yes, and ban the use of crytocurrencies

 @9YLLLVMdisagreed…5mos5MO

Economic Innovation and Financial Inclusion:

Cryptocurrencies have enabled significant innovation in finance, including decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, which offer access to financial services without the need for traditional banks. This can benefit underbanked and unbanked populations by providing them with tools for savings, lending, and investment that they may not have otherwise.
A ban could stifle these innovations and prevent economies from harnessing the benefits of financial technology advancements. Countries that have embraced cryptocurrency in a regulated manner are seeing…  Read more

Ireland is a free market that allows the sale of transfer of goods once both parties are in agreement, to ban a non dangerous resource would place us behind other countries and infringe on the rights of citizens.

It doesn’t really matter as I believe in a policy of Laissez-faire when it comes to economic purposes.

 @B2GVP7Sanswered…3mos3MO

Depends on the regulations and the rationale behind it so without knowing that I agree with the other who have argued for No with being mostly aligned with governments reckless fiscal policies

 @9ZWFB36answered…5mos5MO

No, I agree with both the above 'No' options. In general, it is for sure known that some cryptos can be scams, but it is not the same kind of scam that catches old ladies that are too trusting. Instead this is people supposedly tech savvy. As such, if they fall for a scam, it's somewhat their own fault, same as an investment to a fungible business that turns out to be a scam. Perhaps some sort of investments insurance could be in place, but just like all insurance companies, it probably will not benefit anyone that much

What people want to invest in is their own business and if they see an opportunity for cryptocurrencies good for them. If it goes wrong they know the risks it takes- I think with growth of AI and scamming etc its dodgy ads and scams that need to be regulated.

 @9ZTZRT4Fine Gaelanswered…5mos5MO

no, but government should screen cryptocurrencies before circulation to ensure legitimate value and exchange rates

 @9MY673Nanswered…11mos11MO

No, regulations are in place and any person should be able to invest their money as they see fit

 @9ZGM5JV answered…5mos5MO

cryptocurrencies have been used for shady things in the past. They are difficult to monitor therefore some regulation may be good.

 @9ZD2GRXanswered…5mos5MO

Government should only make sure that cryptocurrencies are legit and safe to use but shouldn't try enforce tax are be able to trace it.

 @9ZCTZV6answered…5mos5MO

Yes and the government should screen cryptocurrencies to ensure they are legitimate, and all holdings of crypto currencies should be counted as money and be taxed.

Do you think digital money in the form of apps can help people with little access to fair banking services improve their situation?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

How do you feel about the risk of losing digital currencies due to hacking versus the security of regular banks?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Could you see yourself using digital currencies or online money systems instead of regular banking in the future?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Is financial freedom more important to you than making sure there are strict rules in place to prevent illegal activities with money?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Could making digital currency more regulated reduce innovation or would it only make it safer?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

How do you feel about people who don’t have access to traditional banks using online money to save and spend?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Do you think digital currency can truly replace physical money in our everyday lives, and why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Should the government have the power to control or regulate money that isn’t their own, like cryptocurrencies?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

If you could invest in a new form of money that wasn't controlled by any government, would you feel safe doing it?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

If crime could be reduced by monitoring everyone’s money, would you be willing to give up some privacy?
