#MEMEAct
U.S. Senator Chris Murphy announced that he will introduce a bill called the 'Meme Act' to prevent the president or any member of Congress from issuing or promoting any meme-based cryptocurrency, due to Trump's coin, which Murphy described as the biggest corruption scandal in White House history.
This news has opened a large discussion about the role of politicians in the crypto world. When a politician or someone from their family promotes a cryptocurrency, they have a significant influence on the people, which can create serious conflicts of interest. This means they could exploit their position to inflate the value of the coin and then sell it, profiting at the expense of those who believed them.
Additionally, this promotion could lead people to believe it is a guaranteed project or backed by the state, which is very dangerous in an unstable market like the crypto market. In many cases, huge losses have occurred due to the promotion of meme coins that have no real value.
Ultimately, there should be laws preventing any politician from getting involved in this field directly or indirectly. Not to stifle innovation, but to ensure that people are not deceived and that officials use their power for the benefit of the public, not for their personal gain.
