DOGE has exposed the hypocrisy of those who rail against unelected bureaucrats

The article from MSN discusses how the cryptocurrency Dogecoin (Doge) has become a focal point for exposing the hypocrisy among some of the government's harshest critics. It highlights how individuals and groups who typically rail against government overreach and financial regulations are now seeking government intervention to regulate or even ban cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin. This shift in stance is particularly noted after incidents like the collapse of FTX, where critics who once championed the freedom of digital currencies are now calling for regulatory measures to protect investors. The piece points out the irony in these critics' positions, as they previously argued for minimal government interference in financial markets but are now advocating for oversight when their investments are at risk. This situation underscores a broader debate about the role of government in regulating new financial technologies and the consistency of political ideologies when personal financial interests are involved.
