The bottom line is that if the platform can not be relied on with information, it should not be relied on with cash whether it is crypto or any other payments platform.
China The New Risk

According to MarketWatch the genuine difficulty for United States regulators is the impending increase of a Chinese crypto currency which might weaken general dollar supremacy. This in addition to the reality that the FED is printing them unashamedly, and president Trump wishes to cheapen them even further, is another nail in the greenback casket.
