Thanks.
Mr. Chair, one of the important things we should be looking at to make Canada safer from fraud in crypto markets.... I'm going to take a progressive, open view here. Let's say that not everything that's happening in blockchain tokens and digital assets or whatever is fraudulent, pump and dumps, and stuff like that. I'm not saying that right now.
I'm saying, let's say there are some digital commodities. Maybe it's not just Bitcoin. Maybe there are other things, as well, that meet the guidelines that would make it safe for people to want to invest long term or save in Bitcoin. Personally, I think it's just Bitcoin.
One thing for sure is that we do not have friendly banking regulations for Bitcoin companies. I think we need to improve on that, especially working with companies that are creating this SPDI framework in Wyoming to be able to allow companies like Shakepay, which has a million Canadian customers who have Bitcoin, to have a bank charter.
Canadians would be able to put their Bitcoin in Bitcoin banks, rather than resorting to going off and speculating at these companies that are not even holding Bitcoin; they are just pretending to sell you Bitcoin overseas.
