Distinguish between technology and its use
Despite the call for more regulation, we can nonetheless point out that the White House appears to be separating between the technological base represented by the ecosystem, and the benefit from it. In fact, it is particularly emphasized that these technologies “It can offer faster, cheaper, and more secure ways to make payments“.
It is also stated in this roadmap that if cryptocurrencies “Relatively new», The risks incurred by the behavior of some actors are not. Thus, the said document is aimed at companies that revolve around this industry.
Thus logical rules are required, such as the best Transparency about associated risks and conflicts of interest. The Biden administration is also asking Congress Strengthening regulatorsin order to prevent misuse of client funds.

I bashfully discovered the world of blockchain at the end of 2018 in my search for financial freedom. At first, I invested moderately, and after only two years, I risked betting everything on the movement that was forming at that time. Then I dedicate 2021 to train myself better to gain more knowledge and seriousness. As I often like to say: I still have a billion things to learn. And what I know, I want to share with you.
