Supporters argue that cryptocurrency can empower individuals, especially in minority communities that have long been underserved by traditional banking, offering new pathways to financial accessibility and economic independence. Some even view it as a tool to challenge and reform the established financial structure of the U.S.

Add to this the rise of fraud, environmental issues related to energy consumption, and ethically questionable support — and the picture becomes much more complex.
