First link: It's about how a government may go with considering a crypto-asset as a national currency, which seems to be a very good idea that may help enlarge the crypto adoption worldwide. However, this is far to be true because of many reasons have been already mentioned in this article:

Second link: About how the Ontario Securities Commission won't let registered crypto-exchanges deal in Tether, and that users can't buy cryptocurrencies (other than BTC, ETH, LTC and BCH) for more than 30k$ per year.
I may agree with the restriction for Tether, simply because it's a centralized token that can be frozen by a centralized authority for whatever reason, but i don't see the reasons why to restrict in a 30k$ limit and why not excluding more other cryptocurrencies working with POW like others in the excluded list.
There is no war against crypto.
