Behind the Resurging Crypto Craze—Huge Profits, Risks & Scams
AACYF/旧金山/洛杉矶，2025年6月13日 – 在6月13日由美国社区媒体服务组织（ACoM，原名少数族裔媒体服务EMS)主办的新闻简报会(Behind the Resurging Crypto Craze—Huge Profits, Risks & Scams)上，
Since Bitcoin’s launch in 2009, cryptocurrencies have been hailed as a new frontier for building wealth and exchanging value outside the traditional financial system.
Supporters argue that crypto can empower individuals, particularly in minority communities that have long been underserved by banks, by offering new paths to financial inclusion and economic agency. Some advocates even see it as a tool to challenge and reform the entrenched U.S. financial structure.
But critics warn of serious pitfalls: extreme volatility, lack of oversight, and a pattern of targeting vulnerable populations with high-risk promises. Add to that an uptick in scams, environmental concerns over energy use, and ethically murky endorsement, even from members of the First Family, and the picture becomes far more complicated.
