In the world of digital money, things are changing fast. Some people in the U. S. government are worried. They think new rules might give too much power to banks and the government. They fear these rules could lead to a system where every transaction is watched. One of these people is Representative Warren Davidson. He has been a strong supporter of crypto since 2016. He believes in the original idea of crypto: money that is free from government control. He thinks the new GENIUS Act is a step in the wrong direction. It could make it easier for the government to track and control how people use their money.
Davidson is not alone. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene shares his concerns. She voted against the GENIUS Act. She thinks it could open the door to a digital dollar controlled by the government. She also worries about a digital ID system. This could force people to get government permission to use their own money. There is some hope. Another law, the CLARITY Act, is being discussed. Davidson thinks it could fix some problems. But he also thinks the changes might not be enough. He believes the future of money is at stake. Without big changes, he fears money could become more controlled and less private. The debate is heating up. Some people want more control. Others want to keep money free. The outcome will shape how we use money in the future.
