According to a think tank, the U.S. should refrain itself from creating its own cryptocurrency and support those that already exists instead, as opposed to other countries like China that attempts to create their own. At least that is what I infer from this article. This will definitely boost the popularity and acceptance of cryptocurrencies already in use, especially the top ones. But there is the certainty that the U.S. will try to meddle in the affairs of the people using it, by imposing taxes, tracking personalities by the FBI, etc., in the name of national security or whatever. Then again, countries that have their own national cryptocurrency can also do that, and so much more, simply because their governments "own" it, and technically, they can do whatever they want with it. So maybe this think tank's approach isn't so bad after all. What do you think?
