  • Vivek Ramaswamy says DOGE is going to target hundreds of billions of dollars in potential savings from efficiency improvements to entitlement programs. It's a tall order.

The article from MSN discusses the potential impact of cryptocurrency, specifically Dogecoin, on traditional financial systems like Social Security and Medicare. It highlights concerns raised by financial experts and policymakers about the stability and reliability of cryptocurrencies, which are seen as volatile and speculative.

The article also touches on the broader implications of digital currencies on government programs, suggesting that while there might be interest in exploring blockchain for efficiency, the massive savings or improvements promised by crypto enthusiasts are viewed with skepticism due to the unpredictable nature of cryptocurrencies.
