Bitcoin Forum

Hello, would love to get your opinion on this topic. Do you think there would be more regulations regarding cryptocurrency by the Government? Both now and the future? Let’s say bitcoin price rises to $100,000 per bitcoin, Do you think the government would actually let it be and function on its own without constant regulations? Well, personally I think we would see more regulations from the government down the line to a 1 Trillion Dollars total market cap and above. But I’m positive such regulations won’t hamper on the further growth and advancement of cryptocurrency. So tell me, what do you think?

I think if the government fully have control over crypto currency then crypto currency will loose their identity as a decentralization project. However, few regulations would be good, like imposing tax on it. People will consider it legalized and the demand for it will increase more further.

We will see more regulations no matter the Bitcoin and no matter its market. It's already taking place slowly. It's up to us to accept it or reject it and raise our voice. Making a currency has no use if in the end it is regulated. Basically, Bitcoin was created to get back some privacy and to be free from governments and banks

Already many governments have regulations for the bitcoin usage and they may upgrade them in the upcoming years as theur wish but most of the government  creatimg regulations not for the weldare of citizen they just doing this for theor own purpose so more or less regulations just use bitcoin as your wish.

I think moderate supervision is necessary and there are some norms that can promote the development of the community. But those media should not exaggerate the negative news of encryption.

The market of crypto currency is out of reach of any third party or the government. This is an advantage for the investors in the market as well as both party who exchanges it. Yet at some point the government will eventually start tapping into the market and put regulations on it, it is hoped that the regulation does not hamper the market

Id the government implemented rules and regulations, they need to be sure that it is not just for there interest but also for the welfare of the users of bitcoin, and other coins or the crypto itself. Putting taxes will do but if they implemented something that concerns with the identity of users well it will definitely undergo in a debate. The regulations must only concern with the security the users will have.

I dont think that government will make regulations which wont try to get identity of users because they are implementing the rules and regulations in which their main criteria will be to show the identity of users. If you see last all ICO are asking KYC procedure, which means their is identity verification's of users who wanted to be in crypto world.

I think regulations are good for Crypto and Bitcoin if they ar einclusive of crypto as an asset class. We need a good infrastructure and framework around Bitcoin so that the bigger entities like pension funds, hedge funds and Indeces can start utilizing this asset class for the benefit of their very wealthy clients. These peeps kind of hodl long term and it's what we need in crypto, not just pump n dump groups and whales constantly manipulating the prices.

I think regulations such as Tax, KYC, etc won't inhibit the growth of Cryptocurrency, I'm only worried about prohibitions such as shut down the access of cryptocurrency exchange to Bank account and ban the use of Cryptocurrency as payment, Governments will create more regulation in the future because they want to control this industry in their country, control is an annoying thing for us but we can't avoid it

In my opinion the only thing that the government has a right to regulate in crypto is to secure its people to scammers.The government can take actions on it especially when it comes to illegal activities.Then also the government can also implement tax collections because even if its decentralized we are still had a responsiblity as a citizen to pay back not that much as what you think but to pay in return for helping even just a little for contributing to our economy.

I think it's good for more regulations for crypto currency. but government can use the part of someone as pension, tax etc instead of all over use the crypto currency results will happen loose popularity.

since there aren't that many regulations regarding bitcoin now I would say yes there will be a lot more regulations in the future because this is currently a raw market with no regulations and it needs them. so as the market grows and more people get involved and more importantly as the popularity of bitcoin grows and more businesses and merchants start accepting it as payment, the government has to put some regulation guidelines for them to follow in order to keep everything in line.
that has already happened in some countries like Japan though. and the rest will eventually follow.

I do not think adding regulation may change bitcoin as it is. As we all know, bitcoin is actually doing its job well and for the past few years, there are no regulations being added or get rid with it. Bitcoin plays as it is. And as time goes by, regulations do so. If we choose to, then lookin toward it is a great hook.

the only thing you need to keep in mind is that you should not confuse regulations with restrictions. the regulations can be both but it doesn't have to be either. for example the Japanese regulations of bitcoin led to a huge rally and a lot of adoption in their country. regulations can also be restrictive and bad and prevent the growth.

will we see more regulations for bitcoin? yes
will they prevent the growth? maybe not, maybe they do. it depends on which country sets what.

the government has full control over the crypto currency then the crypto currency will lose their identity as a decentralized project. However, some rules will be good, such as imposing a tax. People will consider it legalized and the demand for it will increase further. Thus, crypto currency enthusiasts will multiply

yes. indeed, the more rules and regulations the more the safer btc will be. btc need to be more strict for the new investors.

If crypto currency regulated with rules and regularions then it would be better for itself as people will do more investment on it and the popularity will increase more.

For a country that has already received and regulated bitcoin well at the present moment may have an effect. They will raise taxes to all users of cryptocurrency in their country. But I am a little confused given the volatile bitcoin prices so the rules they make will always change.

And for countries that are still neutral and banning bitcoin they will be indifferent to bitcoin price changes. But there is little possibility for a neutral government to use bitcoin, I guess they would be interested in receiving bitcoin and deduct tax on each withdraw made by bitcoin users.

Definitely more regulations will be coming our way. And with the G20 meeting for the third time coming and with crypto regulations on top of their agenda, I'm sure that there will be a lot of debates and eventually government will have to put up their own regulations.

But I'm sure that it wouldn't have a long term effect on the price though, we might see the price suffers a little but in the long run if this regulations becomes effective and governments satisfied, crypto will flourished in the next decade or so.

I too think that more regulation will be imposed on cryptocurrency. I wouldn't worry if this were done for the betterment of crypto. But the sad part is while regulating they are concentrating more into their interest. Crypto is kind of being used. I am worried and wants to know what others think.

Mainly in crypto market there are many negative things like scams, fraud, hackers etc are increasing so people are losing their money that’s why this market need to regulate many govt. show their interest to solve this problem I also think that it won’t gonna affect on the price.

cryptocurrency doesn't have any authority and the government directly didin't give it any permit so right now I don't think there will be any more regulation for cryptocurrency but it is getting popular among the people a lot this days so we can't decide what will the future bring

Right mate only our government's can do is to make secure all who uses this cryptocurrencies now for the better and improvement of our entire society,,because in this new generation crypto is one of the best way of making life's improvement.

You might aware that many of the governments are on the bills to regulate crypto currency. Personally in my country i cannot buy Crypto currencies using Fiat & some are not operated in our territory. With the huge amount of money flooding in to crypto field scams happening in every corner & some of groups manipulating the market only for profit. These negative remarks leave new investors in a doubt & let governments to regulate it. In order to avoid these circumstances i personally think regulations will be applied soon. As you know there are limits in many exchanges to withdraw & it has some regulations within the Crypto space as well. But as you mentioned it shouldn't be hammered us & early adopters will have some good gains before some major regulations applied.

Authorities wants but is is very difficulty to implement some really useful regulation frameworks. Will see. What they will to develop during the next 2 years.

The government will do everything they have to have control, they may even have their own exchange as part of the solution. Its not going to be surprising if that happen. The only possible way to get some taxes are thru the exchanges and it might happen soon, exchanges today are popping out, some are doing ICO and one in particular is supported by media like Level01 which is supported by REUTERS. Reuters?

We all know crypto currency is not acceptable by all the countries. But some countries are accepting crypto currency because in their country this market is popular. I hope in near future this market will a no1 place for invest.

The world of cryptocurrency has managed to get the attention of the whole world. In present, Bitcoin, being one of the best cryptocurrencies, the community is constantly growing and it is also expected that it will grow more in future and even if it is on some conditions, there would be a time on when every country will partially be dependant on Bitcoin.

There could be more regulations on the crypto currency, depending on the country. Some countries are very strict while the other are quite lenient and are more in favor of the crypto currency market. This mainly happens because the government has a fear regarding illegal activities because the transactions cannot be traced.

Oh yes indeed. I do think so. My reason being that most countries are silent on this whether to make it legal or illegal. And as they say, silent means concern. Meaning those who haven't made any stand on it yet are thinking about what to do next to regulate it. In the same way, those who have already regulated are also planning on making it more regulated ,and so I think we can no more run from that.

Most countries are silent about bitcoin, and they are still concerned. What is really forbidden is ICO or some places that are on the verge of breaking the law. Moreover, I think that will soon be in contact with the ban on Bitcoin.

Some countries have already introduced certain rules for the use of cryptocurrencies. But I do not think that bitcoin will obey other people's rules. It is unique and it has its own laws.While the government of some countries can not decide how to deal with cryptocurrency people still continue to produce and use it.In order to take taxes from the crypto currency, it is necessary that its production be recognized as entrepreneurial activity.

More regulation for crypto currency may have negstive impact for a short period of time but once it was swallowed by market sentiments price may return to normal and regulations in crypto is needed for the investors safety and this could prevent  criminals to use crypto to launder their illegal money.

Which could be the result of trust. Investors will result to trusting the market when its regulated by an entity or the government itself. I don't know if the anon developers are going to be open for this regulations. It does mean that if something happen to the market like it will collapse just like what happen to wallet street to government will intervene right?

I believe that the regulation of crypt currency sphere is necessary only for the crypto-currency market to become more stable. This will give investors more confidence and they will begin to develop this sphere more actively. However, I insist that regulation should be made by the participants of the crypto sphere, and not by third parties.

We will have much more rules regardless of the actual Bitcoin with no issue its marketplace. It is currently happening gradually. It is as much as all of us to simply accept this or even refuse this as well as increase the tone of voice. Creating a foreign currency doesn't have made use of in the event that ultimately it's controlled. Essentially, Bitcoin was made to obtain back again a few privateness and also to reduce government authorities as well as banking institutions.

Some regulation should prove good for the crypto in the long run because all the stakeholders, i.e. ordinary people, government, traders want to be sure everything is safe with crypto. It might take time, but safety should not be underestimated.

It seems to me that the rules on the part of the countries will hinder the rise in prices for bitcoins and other crypto-currencies. Since many investors will invest their money more swiftly.

Well the highest the government can do when KT get to the point they realizes that they can not influence more control or regulate crypto currency they will start attacking and making bitcoin about bitcoin in other to affect the price and then attack the market but God has always being proofing them wring.

Let's be honest, regulations are more than needed if you want to have a clear cryptocurrency ecosystem without any scams, so that is the main reason of why i really support some kinds of regulations coming from some countries.

I totally agree with you. The main idea of cryptocurrency is decentralization. More regulations on it will make it a centralized system, where the government have some kind of control over it.

   I think sooner or later government can regulate cryptocurrency for a reason that they can hold bitcoiner,put taxes and rules to follow speacially if crypto will continue to develop and become accepted anywhere in the world. But it is all depend on us if we accept those regulation or not. I believe while cryptocurrency continue to spread and become broad there are also a lot of changes may happen because i know government will not stop finding a way to regulate it.

No one can govern, manipulate cryptocurrency even the government they can't control if they put rule and regulation to regulatr the world cryptocurrency i agree because it can less risk and avoid some scammers we cannot be afraid to invest and trade in cryptocurrency because we know that have an regulation to less those scammers. Government cant control special bitcoin they can manipulate the value and it is centralize.

i think government will do anything to jump and change everything in crypto, i'm sure they can because they have regulation power and we cryptocurrency user will forced to followed it. it will be have positive and negative affect for it

I personally believe that more stringent regulations on Bitcoins and other altcoins will make them more safer for mass adoption. Many people get into cryptocurrencies without giving much thought about the scams, the high volatility of them and make huge loses trading them. Centralized bodies should intervene and regulated the use,trade and invest of cryptocurrencies. I think involvement of regulatory bodies is justified since almost all are going to convert cryptos in to fiat, which is a centralized currency.

Once we are crying for governments to accept Btc across the globe then we should now that there will be some forms of regulations from the government.

as the price and users go up the attention of btc in the governments rises proportionally. If it reaches 100k than inevitably there would be more regulations as the center of attention would be concentrated on crypto.

Government will always try to regulate bitcoin regardless of the price but when its price will surge like crazy tax department will get crazy and hungry for quick hot bucks. Many countries have already placed heavy taxes on crypto related gains as capital gains after last year surge. I expect taxes to rise more on crypto if price will start to make another big run again.

Governments and tax officers are trying to squeeze every profit citizen have ever made by holding bitcoin from the start date. One of the major drawback is that you can't always provide enough documents to show the origin of fund for tax purposes which create more problem even if you are willing to legally earn bitcoin or cryptocurrencies.

There's not many regulations, except for KYC regulations for exchanges, and the countries that have banned crypto. Governments see crypto as an asset, they would just put taxes on the capital gains which almost half of the countries have. And stop building castles in the air when it comes to price.

The crypto currency is a new form of economy which is totally contrary to the present form of economical concepts.So the economically and industrially developed countries of the world are trying to study and understand the in and out of the new theory and they will decide it whether to accept or reject by the help of their technical know how .Mean time the developing countries are mostly not in a position to analyze it so easily and they will try to impose different types of regulations on it.They might be fear of the new economical theory to topple the current systems etc.

I think the government can make more regulations for cryptocurrency but mostly against fraud, theft, money laundering and many more illegal stuffs. It is their duty to protect their people and since cryptocurrency is an unstoppable trend as of the moment, if they won't be able to get full control of it with their own hands, they will control it indirectly using regulations. The government will never have full control because there are private companies working with cryptocurrencies as well and that is beyond their control. Their only role is to assure that everything in operation that involves crypto is legal and is not harming any group of people or any living thing.

The government wouldn't let this opportunity to pass to get some money from the people who earn from it. There would be a huge addition to funds then if they can track the people who are earning from it and then levy tax. As what I have observed from our country, those local exchanges that were issued licenses require its users to provide documents for KYC to prevent illegal activities and I can sense that eventually they will have taxes in the transactions because it is easier for the government to collect it from one place than for them to collect it individually.

As for regulations, it is unavoidable I think because the more people getting involved in cryptocurrency, the more the government wanted to control it so they will have more regulations applicable to it. It would make more people trust cryptocurrency though because there are already legal implications related to it.

I think that any government regulation will not affect the growth of cryptocurrency only if there is a ban on the use or ownership of bitcoin or other cryptocurrency in a country may have an impact on growth because fewer people want bitcoin.

if the bitcoin affect economic of a country i believe that government can take action for bitcoin and maybe will make a regulation for bitcoin or the worst thing that they will banned bitcoin in their country, that is the worst thing, we all hope that it wouldn't happen and all government can accept bitcoin around the world

Yes, it is expected to have more regulations on cryptocurrency from different government for both profit and security purposes, cryptotocurrency getting bigger and bigger everyday, some government sees this as great source for countries income.

Yes there would be big possibilities that regulations become more strict towards cryptocurrency when its price would reach to $100,000.Thats alot of money for only one bitcoin.

I am sure that there will be any regulation from the government as I think they don't like to see cryptocurrency is grown too fast and they are not ready to see the changing of the finances system. maybe someday, they will add tax for cryptocurrency user so we need to pay some amount to back up the economy of the country. or maybe they will make a new law that will control cryptocurrency user

I do not think the government will let the Cryptocurrency market grow so easily. Because a market with too high a market capitalization will be heavily regulated by the government. By the way it will affect the economy of the world. The early Crypto market will want to be protected and become healthier if market capitalization is high.

In the recently concluded meeting of G20 summit for cryptocurrencies, they decided to wait some recommendations from other countries implementing the rules or regulations for the cryptocurrency exchanges. Regulations can't be avoided and many countries are planning to make their own regulation based on the recommendation. It will be implemented to protect users and investors from scams and illegal use of any cryptocurrency.

I agree for that because we need regulations for cryptocurrency so that we have a good security and protection from hackers and scammers in which we can give less cases and problems, so that it will be more safe and legitimate for those investors and miners in this industry of cryptocurrency.

If they have to make regulations, they have to do it right now because if they are afraid of money laundering a lot of us had already done it and got away already. If Germany did it and Japan, how come these countries can't do it on their own fast as there are just days and weeks passed they are missing a lot of things already.

Bitcoin is decentral and bitcoin itself has no team, so for regulation on bitcoin it is not possible, there is only regulation on users, of course users who want to use bitcoin in that country, as the Chinese state does, ie forbidding users to use bitcoin and even crypto exchanger in china also closed. For regulation with reasonable excuses is not bad because on the other hand the government is considering things that will happen later.

Bitcoin taxation would be an excellent way to help countries make a significant tax from Crypto. But they must know who owns Bitcoin to tax them, or they will rule out taxation. The easiest way is to impose the exchanges that based in that country.

right, bitcoin is its users, so it's possible to regulate them in case they are willing to comply. Good thing is that it simply depends on each of us whether he will do it or no

Definitely Yes I agree with you mate. Government should create standard regulation in bitcoin. Regulation that the people can benefits not the government. They should create rules and regulations that would help cryptocurrency used only in legal transactions.  In that way, cryptocurrency will grow more and more.

the government isn't just going to tax you for having something. otherwise you will have to pay them till the end of your time. what they do is that they tax you when you trade bitcoin and make profit on exchanges which happen to be centralized and have KYC implemented. that way they know you and also they take a part of your profit.

The electronic money market is not accessible to any third party or government.

Yes. I think so. More regulations are needed so that Bitcoin becomes safer to invest and Bitcoin can be properly used. And the trust of investors in Bitcoin will be enforced. Currently, due to the slack regulations of cryptomarket, frauds and crimes have chances to happen. So I think more regulations are necessary.

Countries would only accept the crypto currency if they can get the good amount of tax form their citizens which will help the economy to grow and further strengthen their development plans. Else their is no point for them to just legalize it and with so many scam their investigation will take so much time and efforts and waste of money .

I agree with you. Bitcoin is kind of brand new. So I think proper regulations are necessarry so that Bitcoin can be exploited to its fullest in this infancy stage. But it takes time. Many governments have still in the dark and clueless about what to do with Bitcoin.

I think the government will have more regulatory regulations. If it is not very strict supervision, then it will be good for community development.

I am thinking that more of the regulations and banning are coming in the near future. Government will not allow bitcoin to continue on its nature of being decentralized because they believe it is a tool for tax evasion and could be used to sponsor terror or drugs. The claim because bitcoin is highly anonymous so tracking who send or receive    what will be difficult and hence may encourage illicit transactions. So more regulations is still on the way.

We all wish that bitcoin will be available all over the world but some of the countries already banned bitcoin because of their economic growth. It will be a good news to us if the bitcoin will be legalized all over the world because the volume that who is buying bitcoin will increase more and bitcoin’s value will jump too.

Laying legal grounds for Bitcoin is needed. Many investors want to put money into Bitcoin but get cold feet because of the fear that Bitcoin will be banned. If Bitcoin gets legitimized, the investors will feel more secure to invest in Bitcoin.

If they get Bitcoin under regulation, they may levy taxes on its transactions, and Bitcoin will seem less attractive compared to fiat money. However, regulations give Bitcoin clear legitimacy, so money scams involving Bitcoin will be solved more easily.

Yeah, but first I think they should legitimize Bitcoin. I mean they need to determine whether Bitcoin is a an asset or anything else in their country, and then impose regulations for it.

I see nothing wrong with the regulations specially now that scam projects are becoming rampant in the crypto space in which many people are become victim and now afraid to join crypto investments.The government should impose regulations specially if the Bitcoin price become more expensive to ensure that it will not be use in illegal activities such as money laundering and terrorist funding.

The funny part about your extremely accurate comment is that different governments are COMPETING behind closed doors for "regulating" it best. If one governments regulation is too strict (like India's), then people create a black market economy that leaves the banks in their country with less money.

If it's banned, people from other countries earn a LOT more for selling crypto to people in that country. So Rupee's for example, get traded for USD or BTC while India banks have to pretend the Rupee will stop dropping like it has been for two years.

There will be TWO markets for crypto regardless.... people that want to do illegal things will just use a "privacy" Altcoin or a bitcoin mixer, rather than Bitcoin. People who don't do illegal things will speculate on that altcoin because they it will increase in value as more people adopt the "unregulated" crypto.

As the cryptocurrencies will be accepted in a lot of countries then that is when more regulations will come because that is how the government will react to the growing cryptocurrency because they want to set limits to avoid abuse and other unnecessary things that they don't want to see.

Yeah I think this is a great and helpful idea, to have more regulations with regards to cryptocurrencies. For the reason to avoid any anomalies and dilemma and to maintain the goodness of crypto.

That would make the government look like Crypto as a formal business and entrepreneurs would have to pay taxes to the government for legitimate investment.

Regulations are made and impose for the safety of public using cryptocurrencies and therefore it has to be regulated so that no abuse will be taken by some opportunist to make millions of money for example for icos then runaway the investors money if there are no proper regulations this cryptocurrency will be very risky to all users.

Yeah you're right the positive regulation will bring good effect for the market, such as the legalization of crypto, things like that will have a very good impact, such as mass adoption that will happen, many stores will receive crypto, many people who believe in crypto, etc

Unified rules of regulation as they said. I've read this on a crypto news site just today and Australia seem to have step up already. I think this is going to be the moon time again. Those big boys in the finance business can make coins fly up even without use. The news today about crypto is making the price rise up incredibly. Just a pump or not, I'm ready to dump.

I think that the regulation about btc is is on his way. I heard a news that BTC-ETC has an application at Security and Exchange Commission in order to apply for proper regulations. Once this is approved, BTC and other legitimate crypto/alts will definitely going to a new heights. I would love to see that the market is green again. Good luck crypto world. :)

There will be ore regulations for sure, governments are more interested into what is happening and the SEC just created a new task force to investigate ICOs and security law violations, so no stopping in getting regulated but that is also something that mature markets need in order to grow and be adopted by the mainstream masses

The primary aim of cryptocurrency regulation by most of the governments is to protect the holders and investors from any illegal use of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. These cryptocurrencies can be use with ease by some people who are using the coins for money laundering, drug trafficking and other illegal activities so the governments are trying to ensure that the coins will be used according to the law.

No matter how complicated the rules will be provided by the government to regulate Bitcoin, the most important is Bitcoin created to regain some privacy and be free of government and banks. The government should think about it because it's an important point of Bitcoin. if it arrives at set I hope it will allow bitcoin to restore investor confidence to believe in the future of bitcoin.

I hope that with regulations will give some protection to the user so they don't have to be afraid to join in the cryptocurrency. so far, people still think about to join or not and they are really scared about getting scam. and if the regulations apply, I think this will help them and makes them join in the cryptocurrency. besides that, this will push the price to stay at one high price and the cryptocurrency will grow more in the future.

Though cryptocurrency was meant to have a decentralized nature, but having more regulations for it, would not be a bad idea, in as much as individuals and governments would come on board to accept it. This will in turn bring more investors into the crypto world.

Most of the digital currencies are centrally controlled, so they can be regulated with arbitrary rules, especially for dealing with taxes or preventing fraud or identity theft. Some level order will always be good for structure and to keep everything in check, correct?

Yes they are coming after the attention it caught and the potential contribution that it can give to the economy not only for a single country but for the world's.

Yes.

This will make them step more and get involved since it has a big value so an aspiring holder which is a citizen of that country will be able to pay taxes so they have to do something.

Look at the actions of some countries, it's not yet $1T- market cap but they are stepping in.

Yes the government will defiantly push for more regulations.  The real question will you bow down to it and simply take it like always?  Yeah I thought so.  Eventually your Name and Govt number will be associated with your address and you will be taxed for everything.  EVERYTHING. 

This is very necessary for this market. There are currently too many fraudulent ICO projects. This has a lot to do with this market.

I believe that the government will eventually create its own centralized coins that will compete with the decentralization of the cryptocurrency. Supporters of the Fiat currency can believe in centralized crypto-coins, and supporters of anonymity and the black side of the Internet will believe in bitcoin. This is one of my versions on this issue.

most governments have recognized that bitcoin is a modern technology that has valuable asset value. Although future bitcoin prices may increase sharply, the government can not control cryptocurrency at will without issuing any legalization to this digital currency

I think without the organization of the rules of use it will be difficult to understand the movement of funds. therefore, the rules will definitely be, for example, a restriction on the purchase and official exchangers

I believe regulation will do better to the Crypto currency sphere as it will make people have confidence in putting their money on what is supported by the government.

A rule is certainly indispensable in the development of cryptocurrency and in particular is Bitcoin. Because when the rules are made Bitcoin will be much more developed, when the existing rules then everyone will be more confident in using Bitcoin. It is a thing that can not be avoided because the rules are the most needed today. When regulation has been made then Bitcoin price will be much more stable and price volatility can also be much more awake.

I think this will be the moon time again. Today's news about cryptography is making prices soar. I think the regulations on btc are on the way. Once this is approved, the BTC and other codes / codes will definitely go to new heights. Good luck crypto world

In fact, almost all government inherently don’t interested in bitcoin anymore, they just want to control the crytocurrency  market in their two cent. But definitely we will get more regulations for bitcoin and many more coins, but it also depends on each country that they encourage bitcoin or always keep mindset to reject or reduce the growth of it. I don’t think that government will put a good regulation on bitcoin, they maybe impose a big tax on it so that they can exploit benefit from it.

Of course there will be regulations implemented by governments around the world with regard to bitcoin. Some governments appear to be playing the waiting game to feel out where the technology is going. I believe there is a fear about hindering innovation, while at the same time many governments want it taxed.

I can tell you that regulations tend to hurt the exact same people that they claim to help... And regulation of crypto will be no different. Just be smart in the crypto realm, you don't need unnecessary regulation to protect you

The big boys in the financial industry can make coins even when not in use. Just a pump or not, I'm ready to dump. I heard that BTC-ETC has an application at the Securities and Exchange Commission to apply for appropriate regulation. Good luck crypto world!

More regulations means more to risks. Even just single regulation we already took the consequences either an advantages or disadvantages ro each party and individual. But if you truly believe on what future may bring then theres no need for you to be afraid even a regulation.

No matter how complicated the rules will be provided by the government to regulate Bitcoin, the most important is Bitcoin created to regain some privacy and be free of government and banking. If it came time I hoped it would allow bitcoin to restore investor confidence to believe in the future of bitcoin.

I hope that if there are any regulations for cryptocurrency will not give a bad effect for the crypto user and I hope that the regulations are for a win-win solution for both sides. I think with the regulation, it will give some protection to the user especially if the regulation can control the new projects and only protect the user from a scamming.

This is very necessary for crypto market.Noe there are lots of fraudulent ICO projects. Market need to assembled.

Yes more regulation need to take for crypto currency. Regulation will suck all the errors regarding crypto market.

I believe regulation will bring peach in the Crypto currency.It will make people more confident in putting their money which is supported by the government.

I think this is very necessary. There are currently too many fraudulent projects in the market. This has a huge impact on the crypto market.

Maybe there'll be some hybrid regulations respecting the privacy on the one hand, and safeguarding the cryptomarket players? I mean, the government is determined to find a way at least to make its people pay taxes. Otherwise, I'm afraid, they might consider creating some obstacles...
I have a feeling that we need the crypto market legalized/regulated (i.e. seen by the governments as trustworthy), anyway...

Long before this time, when the price of Bitcoin was less than half of a dollar, the government did not care at all. The government even did not care much when it was below one thousand dollars. It is easy to judge from the recent price surge that the government will want to regulate if the price of Bitcoin rises. So definitely, we should expect more regulations in future.  

Nobody is forcing you to invest in those projects, right? Why worry about other people decisions, why bother what they do with money that are theirs to throw out? I don't need daddy government to tell me what is good for me and what's not. I have a brain of my own, if all those regulations deprave me of making a mistake, how on earth I will be able to learn? I wont be and this is the exact goal, they want us stupid, they need us obedient and questions free, in order to rule more (d)effectively.
Remember, regulation equals defraudation. Anybody that is pro regulatory is a misled sheep, on its way to the slaughterhouse.
 

In my opinion, regulation for the better development of bitcoin as well as for the people being part of it. If it is good for the country and for the people then lets make it for the better future.

Of course, there will be more international and local legal regulations of cryptocurrencies in the future. Every existing asset should be regulated. A lot of countries already implement blockchain in their in their transaction systems and other countries accept cryptocurrencies as a payment mean and even create their own national cryptos. No governmental institution will allow crypto transactions and exchange to fiat money by the banks without the strict existing regulation.
But the process of implementation will take time. Because it is hard to achieve the common approach to defining its legal status and creating a unified international legal regulation of this asset. Negotiations on the international level take a lot of time and require a lot of meetings. This process can take up to several years.

Regulations should be in place to help with illegal activities with Bitcoin. But no enn6 was abused to capture all the information as it did with paper money. If the information is too much government control, it will lose Bitcoin's privacy. That reduces the advantage of Bitcoin.

Some regulation for bitcoin is better then they banned bitcoin permanently. Regulation actually not fully interfere bitcoin growth, it just limited bitcoin some bitcoin function in some countries that banned bitcoin.

I believe that when the market capitalization of bitcoin or all cryptocurrencies equals the annual turnover of several countries in the world, then the Governments will think very seriously about the rules of regulation. Many governments and States do not fully understand the opportunities and prospects for the growth of blockchain technology and all cryptocurrencies. Rules will be, in many States they already appear.

More regulation for crypto currency is needed staying in the market in a long run.

Better regulations makes product even better. Cryptos has a better future so more and better regulation is essential .

I think cryptos has enough regulation to survive the market.

Yes, I agree. It will play a very vital role in betterment of cryptos.

Yes the government will try to get as much revenue from it as possible. It will only get bigger and they will want a piece of the pie.

I think for the future there will be a lot of government regulation about bitcoin if bitcoin is used by various circles ranging from merchants to big companies, because if more and more users, of course there must be rules in its use. because if not, bitcoin abuse will be more and more.

Government would not let it exist on its own, government always pokes its head into everything and gets involved. So yes, I do believe there will be regulations. Although I'm not sure how well they will work.

I think the Cryptoworld actually do need some forms of regulations to guard against the high volatility, which has always been a major issue. On the long run, the regulations will boost investors confidence.

A lot of thoughts on this issue, but the fact that bitcoin will cost $ 100,000, then I have no doubt. The market of cryptocurrencies is gaining very high momentum and I think that this market needs regulation. A lot of manipulation is now and ordinary people lose money. Therefore, in the next few years we will see regulation in different countries.

For countries that have received bitcoins with good effect They will raise taxes for all cryptocurrency users in their country. But I am a bit confused given the volatile bitcoin prices so the rules they make will always change. while countries that ban their bitcoin will be indifferent to bitcoin price changes. But there is little possibility for a neutral government to use bitcoin, I think they would be interested in receiving bitcoin and cutting taxes on every withdrawal made by bitcoin users.

yeah the could be a possibility for more regulations on crypto but i believe it won't affect crypto. When the market cap rises hugely and Bitcoin price gets very high, governments will fear to ban because at that time many people might have invested (even the government themselves) and so they'll just regulate it to protect it to live longer.

i think regulation can interfere bitcoin, because government only do thing that they think it is right, but it can be opposite goal from users. but if not regulated in that case it not means of banned, just not regulated. bitcoin can keep natural

If some countries will put regulations to the crypto currency it will be a hard moment for the users of this community, It will also bring hardship to those people who are starting.

Too much regulation announcements, most of people will think that all of those activities only gives a bad effect on bitcoin's growth. such as lack volume of trading, even its also happened to big exchange.

So i mean why if there's a regulation just keep silent and if there's a chance bitcoin to be a legal then make it a good announcement.

I also think like you, although there are regulations from the government but it does not affect too much bitcoin price, and the government can not freely manage bitcoin.

governments will close monitor cryptocurrency growth and their working model and finally regulate the cryptocurrency industry

Bitcoin will never be able to regulate, in accordance with the purpose of its creation that allows people to have complete control over their BTC without government interference. This is an idea that Satoshi made as an attempt at defiance of an economic system controlled only by wealthy and sometimes selfish governments and ignoring the little people.

I don’t know exactly the regulation in some country which already admit bitcoin as legal cryptocurrency. In some counrty which still prohibited ofcourse there will be  some new regulation, because in those country the government worried about the value prie of bircoin, they worried that there are no parameterized fir the bitcoin price and they affraid bitcoin will replaced their fiat money.

I think government regulation is very detrimental to bitcoin users because it is very disturbing user privacy although currently many regulations that interfere with bitcoin I think bitcoin will keep growing and in the future regulatory issues will be overcome by bitcoin

I think there must be a regulation if the governments allowing bitcoin to be used in their country.
Maybe the governments in some countries banning cryptocurrency so they don't need to regulate it.
So, crypto regulations may created if the country permit using cryptocurrency.

Governments gave already regulations about bitcoin. And we will see more and more surely in the future. It is either they ban it or try to regulate it, there not much more choice for us.

I believe regulation for cryptocurrency will tend to give more value to the platform as more investors will tend to join the community, wit regulation scam project will tend to reduce and ultimately enhance investors portfolio,

Government is update also with the Bitcoin movement and prices changes because some of them are inyo trading (I mean some staff), in the future they will be implementing some regulations on crypto earners when that price you mention will become true because it will break the law like earning a hundred thousand without paying tax as well so I think they will be making some rules to it.

Regulations arent necessary. Bitcoin is intended to be digital cash and should therefore be treated the same as cash.

Hiding from taxes using crypto is another issue. We all pay taxes. Taxes are deducted from  any type of income. Those taxes are used to improve well-being of citizens. And, at the same time, there are no taxes from cryptocurrency operations this huge market that operates enormous sums of money. Doesn’t seem fair, does it?

Of course in the future there will be many more rules. It's only begining. In addition, banks are just starting to pull themselves into this topic.

 More Regulation from Government on crypto currency?  This issue has been in raise several times, yes, Government want to Regulate  Bitcoin digital crypto currency transaction in the market, they even discussed of Taxation on Bitcoin transaction, all of this are just few issues that Bitcoin is confronting on the daily bases. I am optimistic that this things will be resolved in favor of Bitcoin.

Regulations of bitcoins by government will not have nothing to do with the price. Authorities will be setting in to regulate it as a results of the not ability to trace the transactions to a particular entities and the crime bad guys will be using bitcoins to commit.

We will see more directions regardless of the Bitcoin and regardless of its market . It's as of now occurring gradually . It's dependent upon us to acknowledge it or reject it and raise our voice. Making a cash has no utilization if at last it is controlled. Fundamentally, Bitcoin was made to get back some protection and to be free from governments and banks.

Yes, I think that over time, governments will introduce new and new restrictions on the use of decentralized crypto currency. The fact is that decentralized crypto-currency in general to the state is not only not needed, it only brings the state some problems. Therefore, under the pressure of its citizens, who need such a crypto currency, the state will agree to its use, but it will not actively support it. To counterbalance the decentralized crypto currency, states will introduce their national centralized crypto currency. In addition, using different situations, states, under the guise of caring for their citizens, will drive various restrictions on its circulation. Most likely, the state will want to have all the information about the movement of the crypto currency and about the people who are engaged in it. As far as they can, time will tell.

More regulations are coming thats for sure but how many people are going to follow the regulations? Very few I guess, and this will create even more regulations in order to try to scare bitcoin holders to comply but things are not going to be so simple for the governments and most likely their regulations will be ineffective.

Of course, we can not disagree with this thesis. The more rules there are, the more honest the game will be in the plan that it will help to avoid a lot of fraud. And as a result, we will get more people happy and loyal to the crypto-currency topic.

I think that they have to issue some regulations concerning ICOs, because there were a lot of fraudulent actions. For instance Envion - good project in the whole, but it is frozen right now because of lack of honesty at the top level of the team.

I'm sure there'll be more regulations for blockchain and crypto and I've come across this article that states that
"Governments may be big backers of the blockchain":
https://www.economist.com/business/2017/06/01/governments-may-be-big-backers-of-the-blockchain?fsrc=scn/fb/te/bl/ed/landgrabgovernmentsmaybebigbackersoftheblockchain

It would not matter how high the value of bitcoins and other crytos rise to, the regulations would still remain the same. No government, whether for or against cryptocurrencies will be able set up additional regulatory measures for digital currencies. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized and will always be no matter whaat happens.

Governments can not actually regulate Bitcoin etc as they are decentralised-therefore no one person, organisation etc to regulate. What they can do and are doing is regulate or close the exchanges that people use thereby making life for the community much more difficult. The use of bitcoin for illegal purposes (money laundering etc) and it's wild swings in price are just giving governments more reasons and incentives to regulate.

I personally think that the government will be able to regulate bitcoin, but this is only limited to taxation and rules in local exchanges that relate to balancing [BANK] or restricting it as alternative transactions on the ground, while being tradable and value in the  exchange market cannot regulate it as fiat money

Yes, I think, policy makers from various countries are taking steps to provide regulations for individuals and businesses on how to integrate bitcoin with formal financial system regulations. On the one hand it will be a grace because it can make bitcoin publicly available, but on the one hand, Bitcoin can also be complicated by strict regulations, so it is difficult to determine what percentage of users will still use bitcoin.

Governments can certainly regulate cryptocurrency if they want. Whether or not they can enforce such regulations is questionable in some cases, but don't underestimate the chilling effect of real consequences for people caught breaking laws and such.

For crypto currency to be fully adopted by the general public, it need to be fully regulated. Regulation of cryptocurrency in my own opinion can only be delayed but it is going to happen. And this will help bring sanity to the crypto space.

The idea of cryptocurrency is to make decentralized and anonymous payment option. If it will have a lot of regulations in future where will be the difference between cryptocurrency and any other payment processor?

I agree with you because of regulation connected with government. And most of them are corrupted from the inside so they want to have part of our money.

I think this will be the dream of every bitcoiner that bitcoin will get legalised world wide and it will get centralised globally, as we all know that bitcoin is a decentralised crypto currency and there is no such proper authentic regulating body over the bitcoin who could keep eye over all the illegal activities of bitcoin and therefore there is very high transactions fee for bitcoin transactions and if bitcoin will get centralised globally then I think government will impose taxes on bitcoin for transacting and I think there could be some more amendments also .

Truly. I suspect as much. More directions are required with the goal that Bitcoin ends up more secure to contribute and Bitcoin can be legitimately utilized. Furthermore, the trust of speculators in Bitcoin will be upheld. Presently, because of the slack controls of cryptomarket, fakes and wrongdoings have opportunities to happen. So I think more controls are fundamental.

the government will never be able to destroy the growth of bitcoin, of course because this is bitcoin is special. You can see bitcoin from the first to the present, the existence of bitcoin has a lot of controversy. but still has a great value in the amount of virtual currency investment, there are many conclusions that will occur in the future, and I'm sure bitcoin will continue to grow

to be accepted in a country, bitcoin must get approval from the government and surely there will be regulations that will bind bitcoin, actually government regulations will eliminate the decentralized nature of bitcoin, but without the legalization and regulation of the government will make bitcoin banned

In my opinion, I believe if government will be able to control cryptocurrency, they will definitely put regulations for it. Too much or too less of something is not good. I think it is simply for the betterment and benefit of everyone if people think of it positively. It his how you will perceive and react about it. As of now, what bitcoin should be doing is to first be accepted by every country worlwide. How it will show the government its pros and overcoming its cons.

Learn about cryptocurrency, what it is, how it works, the technology and Bitcoin. Extract from Master of Coin: An Accountant's Guide to Cryptocurrency Investing. Start now.

Best to have more regulations for cryptocurrency to avoid hackers and for safety purposes. Having regulations will help everyone to work as one because it needs to be followed by all.

And there probably will be a lot more once mass adoption takes place and crypto is firmly established. Some regulations are needed while of course there will also be a  few  that will just try to suppress this market. But in general, crypto will not grow to where it should be without regulations.

Maybe regulations in cryptocurrency is needed to prevent more fraud projects steal the peoples money.
As long as the regulations not making crypto worse, then it will be good for us. For now, there are still some countries not allowing to using crypto, but if there are regulations, they maybe consider to allow it.

Its true. regulations may not be making bitcoin more valuable in the future, although there will be an adoption later on but if government are going to be involve to its growth, they will be deciding its price. There were some users expressing their views about ETF will be used for bitcoin if approved and the price will not grow in the end.

indeed the growth of bitcoin will not be hampered by any government regulation, as we know the system of bitcoin is decentralized, bitcoin does not have a center. We are the management, we who make this bitcoin grow and be valuable, any government has no rights about it.
I really hope that bitcoin will be recognized by any government in the future, bitcoin has changed the economy of some people for the better, the government must support that, technology is growing, we are not just silent following the rules of the government that harm us

Maybe if cryptocurrency are regulated by government regulations it will be better for crypto growth, because people will make more investments because they believe crypto is safe and profitable.

I think Basically, Bitcoin was created to regain some privacy and free from the government and banks
We will see more regulations no matter Bitcoin and no matter the market. It's been slow. It's up to us to accept or reject it and raise our voice. Making a currency is useless if it is finally arranged.

If they do ban it, it will be under the guise of saying it's because it funds terrorism, drugs and human trafficking etc. Then a govt could ban in country exchanges.People could still buy through "black market" exchanges in other countries but this greatly increases the risks of scams, funds being stolen, identity theft etc. Demand for crypto would certainly drop

From 2009 up now 2018, bitcoin growth has a good effect for the business minded persons. Then, it became trend and popular in the entire world without the regulations of the government. Meaning, the government had nothing to do with it to make more better, instead it will be a headache for us being a users of altcoins or bitcoin. Therefore, decentralization was still a good concepts of bitcoin.

I think more regulations will be good in the long run. Sometime due to the lack of strong regulations many come into crytocurrencies with bad intentions and in the process harm many people who are genuinely interested in cryptos as well as blockchain technology. This is detrimental to the future of cryptocurrencies because governments and other authorities who are mainly in the traditional financial industry can use it to ban or severely block spreading of cryptocurrencies among the general public. Thus having strong, extensive regulations at the onset is a good thing in the long run of this valuable asset!

Government won't give to raise Bitcoin until in crypto will be more regulations. They want control for big amounts of money, and they will do it no matter what. Remember my words, regulation will give a pump.

Because regulators have not given sufficient clear regulatory measures to the cryptocurrency industry, it has damped the enthusiasm of many people in the industry. At the same time, these regulators did not agree on what cryptocurrency is: a security? A commodity? A property? Although many startups say they are doing their best to comply with US securities regulations when issuing digital tokens for financing, uncertainty still hangs over the market. In addition, the use of cryptocurrencies for the continuous emergence of illegal activities such as money laundering, these issues require the government to strengthen supervision to solve.

Yes, I think this is a good idea and helps, to have more regulations related to cryptocurrency. For reasons of avoiding anomalies and dilemmas and safeguarding the good of crypto.Rules are created and impose for public security using cryptocurrency and therefore must be regulated so that no abuse will be taken by some opportunists to make millions of money for example for icos then escape investor money if there is no This cryptocurrency right regulation will be very risky for all users.

I agree with you because of regulation connected with government. And most of them are corrupted from the inside so they want to have part of our money.

I do not think that is the case. 

As you can see these past few years, there are lots of scam cases towards cryptocurrency.  Many unsuspecting investors became victim to these scams.  So government, in order to protect their citizen act accordingly.  That is regulating cryptocurrency and make sure that the company or people behind will be verified so that in case a problem arise, government knows who is responsible behind the problem.

With the growth and development of the crypto currency without government regulation and control can not do. Especially if we want the price to rise higher to a million. The control does not hurt, even on the contrary. It is necessary to attract large audiences, otherwise everything will stand in one place.

We should learn about electronic money, what it is, how it works, technology and Bitcoin. It is best to have more regulations on electronic money to avoid hackers and for the sake of security.

I think bitcoin need more regulation to be acceped by government. How about tax bitcoin mining?

I think that the government will eventually take more and more attempts to regulate bitcoin. It can not be that bitcoin was taking more and more influence, and the government did not try to gain control over this process.

Probably because without any rules and warnings with this field can occur pure mistake, and such mistakes will be many, because in the entire field spinning oddin individual.

Yes, until now Bitcoin hasn't been legally obtained from the government in some parts of the world. but that doesn't become an obstacle for bitcoin to keep long life. because until now bitcoin transactions still happen and cryptocurrency can still make a profit. Over time, the government began to study the blockchain system which is the latest technology in the creation of bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

At the moment, in many countries there is a regulation of the crypto currency. I think that in the future the crypto industry will be more regulated

I don't hope so that the governments are really trying to study the blockchain transactions and also they don't usually show any much interest into thr world of cryptos. Cryptocurrencies actually is not regulated by the government and also it only makes some movement onto the demand and supply of the users.

Also I don't think that cryptocurrencies need any more regulations as already it is doing great as it is now. Also i think that several peoples have now started to draw some attention towards the cryptos even if it is not regulated by the centralised firm. Cryptocurrencies only stay best untill they are decentralised.

Most of the governments have also started to accept bitcoins legally and bitcoins are growing much well there. What we all need is some great support from the users so that cryptocurrencies can really bloom up.

I think it would not happen. Because regualtions for cryptocurrency is something that can't be easily made even if from the government itself.

Philippines currently announced new regulation in ICO & Cryptocurrencies http://www.sec.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/MC-Rules-for-ICOs.pdf
I agree with your opinion more regulations in every countries for future. Government should attempt to this issue.

Lets be realistic, governments are not going to abandon fiat. Even if Bitcoin fulfils its potential it won't replace government created money, if anything it will pave the way for central bank cryptos that will still have an infinite supply.

Thats why we're here though, to safeguard against that.

I think the government has strict regulations on BTC, that someone can easily make money laundering at BTC, moreover you can buy anything on DeepWeb with BTC, including illegal things, so whatever the price of BTC increases if we still use BTC for things that are negative then government regulations will remain the same as that

Decentralized crypto currency is very unprofitable for any state. Therefore, the government will always be under various noble pretexts to further introduce various restrictions that prevent the free use of crypto currency . Of course, in each state the degree of this regulation will be different depending on its civiliza- tion, the degree of rights and freedoms of citizens, and how citizens themselves can influence their government. However, I think that, in general, the situation with the use of crypto currency will be complicated.

I hope that if the government will regulate bitcoin, then only to a minimum extent. Otherwise, the crypto currency will really lose its feature and there will be no special sense to use it, since the control of the government equates it to ordinary currencies.

I think that the rules will be tightened until the state comes up with a way to control the cryptocurrency market. In General, such things happen everywhere and not only in the field of Finance. The state first prohibits any profitable sphere, thereby increasing the attention and development of this sphere, and then takes control and legitimizes it.

If the cryptocurrency will develop with the same great pace and will be implemented in the world, the government will definitely take some action in order to regulate it, at least partially. But I think that this will not prevent the development of the currency.

Yes, the regulation of bitcoin by the government will slightly change it, but it will give it the official right to be used in every country in the world. Therefore, the control of the authorities is not so bad for the development of bitcoin.

I think that it would be more regulations and it would be that way.
Many people losts their money becouse of no regulation.

the only thing you need to keep in mind is that you should not confuse regulations with restrictions.

I think it's good for more regulations for crypto currency. but it might be used for wrong purpose

Unfortunately, without regulation, no government will legalize BTC. The problem is that it would kill the entire cryptocurrency. It would be a disaster.

regulation is important
but the government should regulate exchange, not crypto
exchange is the center of conversion activity into fiat currency
and it must be regulated because money laundering can occur in exchange

In my opinion regulation is also very important because a country will definitely make regulations regarding the use and trading of crypto assets such as bitcoin, the goal is clear so that people can use it correctly and follow the procedures set by the government.

as i can see, for governments like venezuela which placed cryptocurrency as one of their most daring investment even blocking several bitcoins used in venezuela there will be more and more nations and banks that will regulate cryptocurrencies

cryptocurrency was not initially designed to have any form of regulations or any kind of influence as it is the norms of the conventional currencies and the banks. i think the blockchain technology will not be the same if the regulations or sanctions or any form of tax is implemented but then you can not effect the tax system in the blockchain technology

Crypto regulation would be good for crypto investors as these may protect investors welfare to be away from scammed or manipulation of crypto trading.

I think, with the new rules on Cryptocurrency, it's likely that they will not have too much influence on their value. But it is possible that government regulations will affect those who own Cryptocurrency. Maybe in the future they will have to pay taxes for owning them.

Bitcoin do not needed regulation about their price, give alone for bitcoin have price it self, many prediction could know how much bitcoin price years by years. we can give regulation for bitcoin by government, how to get profit if have regulation for bitcoin price ?

I totally agree with you and I believed this will happen when mass adoption has arrived globally. More users means more complications. And then another complication is the transactions each and every country. Each regulation will certainly different that could happen like USA would be lenient while China would be very strict.

in my country. they don't accept bitcoin. they think it is not real market. and it's price don't following with any thing. like money go up and down base on gold

Yes, it may be a lot more rules that limit Cryptocurrency and this hindered the growth of the market price. The U.S. Government has already banned the use of my Bitcoin so many people hesitate to invest in crypto. But I believe that Crypto will continue to undergo development.

Crypto regulations can sometimes hamper market growth, but this can be well controlled. I think if the government makes regulations about crypto it will certainly be difficult to find the holder, so the government will not have much time for this.

Bitcoin is already regulated by Rules– Computer algorithm with Community's supervision unless you want a Centralized regulation–Govt type regulation?

If government regulates Bitcoin it automatically becomes fiat.

Regulation will destroy most important features of Bitcoin,like the decentralization, Censorship resistance, permissionless, and immutablity,

 Corruption will takeover.

Even Printing Bitcoin out of thin air may become possible.


But I am convinced Bitcoin cannot be regulated.

* The way out for a clever government is to create "rival coin, gives it the value/appearance of Bitcoin and slowly replacing Bitcoin with it on Centralized platforms.
* Or the total control of the Internet.

I think it impossible to have regulation for cryptocurrency but if there have then surely the scam crypto will be lessen so that the remaining will be the good one. But since  most of cryptocurrency are decentralized so nobody can't be regulated it. The best way we can do is to be prepare for whatever its price whether its higher or lower because crypto is unstable, if there are can regulate it then possible its value will have improvement.

Yes there will be more regulations that will come in the future. And if this regulations will make cryptocurrency better then so be it.

As time goes on, I think some countries may want to have some kind of regulation for cryptocurrency operation. The major problem I see with cryptocurrency is scam. Cryptocurrency is gradually becoming a safe haven for scam and people are loosing their hard earned money to scams everyday. Something has to be done about this.

If bitcoin is legalized, even with restrictions, this favorably affects its popularity and capitalization. Simple prohibition of bitcoin in the Internet era only develops various anonymous networks. Appearance of any legislation regarding bitcoin is a good step for crypto.

Your reason makes sense when in the future there is a chance that bitcoin will rise to $ 100,000 per bitcoin, and the government will probably regulate bitcoin so they don't lose taxes on all transactions. after all, the exchange rate of bitcoin is the same globally, so it's not difficult for every country to decide the same rules on bitcoin.

Well even that the price of bitcoin is $6,000 today still the governments from many countries are putting regulations towards cryptocurrency so i believe that theres no difference if the value stays low or grows higher.but the thing is we will only choose to accept whats make us comfortable,personally i am no against taxation’s because this is our obligations while were earning from this,but I won’t agree if governments will controls the cryptocurrency because thats why we are here because of privacy

Are you joke when seeing government have regulation of bitcoin price, what about many investor have buy bitcoin at higher price ? impossible we can control and government can make regulation of bitcoin price.

I wonder how to regulate the cryptocurrency because as far as I know, cryptocurrency cannot control by one or more people or even government. Maybe the government will add taxes for the cryptocurrency use, and we need to pay that taxes. And if this is happening, then I think we need to obey the rule and show to them that the cryptocurrency user follows their regulation and we don't want to break any rules.

I see government regulating bitcoin and cryptocurrencies generally especially by the time hit as high as $100000.
Even as at now that cryptocurrency price is low and bitcoin is at $6500, there is much talk about regulating it. High price of cryptocurrencies will surely attract regulations.

Price I think is irrelevant when it comes to the government on deciding what regulations they are making. If they based their regulations due to the price having insane amounts it will be unfair and not justifiable as they are actually trying to control the prices of Bitcoin with their laws which I think is wrong. Right now the regulations being created is a way to avoid criminal activities which some of them are related to money laundering, tax evasions, buying and selling of drugs, and funding terrorism which I can say is the right track in supporting cryptocurrencies.

If we free bitcoin from any regulations that would be better than we should impose some taxes and country regulations because then it will be like fiat money which is fully controlling by countries and in the world people are happy if they have no check and balance and it is a good way to save your funds with out any tax upon it.

I know a lot of  investment regulations which were so useless abd burried a lot od projects for nothing( This is why I am against strong regulations abour crypto from the  government

obviously, there would be added regulation but is still unknown I just hope that it won't ruin bitcoin's reputation just as how the merits decrease the users of bitcoin.

To see more regulations on crypyocurrencies is expectable. If regulations are mostly focused on security of the users, it would be greate. I would support such regulations, if these regulations are balanced in order to not stop further growth and advancement of cryptocurrency.

It is expected.

Right now mostly ico system is not something we can expect to carry on. It is causing too many scams and i think, they are acting slower than i thought about this.

Cryptocurrency is design to be decentralized and at that will for ever remains at that but to some altcoins who are some how centralized it possible for it to be regulated by government.

Cryptocurrency is a already very popular and accepted currency all over the world. In current situation cryptocurrency rules and regulation is good. In future also add some regulation, that producer also start you already see some ICO are taking KYC for their project.

It would be very difficult to relugate Bitcoin and alts..

I think they will never know it completely regulate maybe little they can use rules by another ways.. but never can be regulate

The market of cryptocurrency is a long way from an untouchable or the organization. This is used for the theorists in the market and in the mix both accumulations who exchange it. Anyway, at some point or another the organization will, in the discontinuance, begin gaining by the market and put bearings on it, it is assumed that the control does not hamper the market

I think regulation will only produce something beyond expectation, my point here is that it is more likely to be the worst after regulation. Since the existence of bitcoin and until last year the market situation has been running normally. But with the government regulation on cryptocurrency, this adds more problem

Yes, there isn't a possibility that government will add more regulations for cryptocurrency. In the first place, there are many of these cryptocurrencies that is considered to be a scam, yet, they are still operating. With more regulations from the government, this scam crypto can be stop.

i think it is good to have more regulation for cryptocurrency because it will help cryptocurrency soon be legalized all over the world

Swiss financial regulator has defined licensing requirements for bitcoin kiosk operators and said that virtual currency platforms are subject to anti-money laundering act, but other regulation unlikely because virtual currencies are perceived as a marginal phenomenon.

   It is possible if goverment has a full control over cryptocurrency.Regulations are good if it will not implemented in a right way but it could help also to minimized scam and it could be a way that people can trust more in cryptocurrency.

The regulation is necessary to prevent money laundering which may greatly influence a country's economy. KYC verifications will be one of the ways to regulate transactions.

Government must be creating more regulation if bitcoin price always increasing. Beside they want to collect more taxes, government do not want losing control on money circulation.

More regulations are coming that is undeniable, the real question is if the regulations are going to stop the massive adoption of cryptocurrencies, and I do not think that is going to be the case because if governments regulate cryptocurrencies those actions give legitimacy to cryptocurrencies in the eyes of the public and that means that more people are going to adopt them.

Investment in virtual currency business is on the increasing trend, the complexity, scale, and scope are widened. It attracts a large number of investment participants. It also facilitates the use of tax evasion because virtual currency payments are anonymous, and there is no trace. The creation of positive regulations will make the electronic currency rise. good and investors will be less anxious when deciding to invest in this market.

Just as long as these regulations are able to maintain and uphold the design and structure of cryptocurrency, then we should be fine. These regulations are meant to protect us anyway, right?
But how do you think these regulations will impact the price?

New positive regulations will make the crypto market safe, helping investors feel secure with the money they invest.

maybe the regulation for cryptocurrency is only needed for some cryptocurrency, but I am sure bitcoin will not need such regulation to be used in some countries as a payment instrument.

Maybe in the future, we will see the governments making regulations for cryptocurrency but the truth, we don't know what kind of that regulations. I think right now; the government still make research about cryptocurrency so they will announce this later to the public especially to the crypto user. But I don't think that they can controlling bitcoin.

They can just do that and go with it if they really want it don't you think? There are a lot of people investing on cryptocurrencies and mos of them are millionaires. Government can just apply tax if they want to collect more from their people but they did not, proof that they don't really want it.

Maybe in the future when cryptos are so damn popular that almost everyone knows it and more than half of the population of this world or these countries are using it every single day. I can't imagine the blockchain's state if that happens but hey, I am still stating some things that might make the government apply tax on Bitcoin though I hope that it don't happen.

I think if the government fully controls the crypto currency, the crypto currency will lose their identity as a decentralized project. however, some regulations will be better if applied.

There will be consequences if cryptocurrencies will be regulated, some will get benefits and some will lose good features. But all in all I will keep looking forward for better regulations of cryptos.

Regulations mean binding in rules. How many regulations how many rules. And rules are good for spending your life normally but I think it's not good for Bitcoin. Rules good but restriction rules not good for BTC. However, It could be 50-50 chance to speed up the Bitcoin rally under regulations.

Consequences like what? There are a lot of countries that embraced and regulated Bitcoin as it is and until now, they are not regretting that they regulated it since there are a lot of people visited their country for that certain purpose.

Bitcoin is having a low volatility these past months staying at the price of $6K. I think if this continues, it will be a high probability that Bitcoin will be more used as payment method than a investment and that may lead to more countries regulating Bitcoin in the future.

With their unlimited strength has many facilities to regulate of course the government can provide any regulation for cryptocurrency
according to their wishes, they can add special rules for the use of bitcoin, because the government has the power to do so

Of course if bitcoin wants to grow stronger and go further in the future then I think it needs to have general rules. If prices continue to rise, I think the negative issues will arise more. And we need government regulations to protect the interests of investors. This way the bitcoin can grow longer in the future

Regulation will make circulation and use of cryptocurrency better. Now some negative things do have an impact on how decisions made by the government. Therefore, when there is a definite regulation, the development of cryptocurrency will improve. I am waiting for this to happen and then we will get a much better cryptocurrency era. People need things like this because with regulations, everything becomes far more certain.

I've been talking a lot about bitcoin lately, and during that time I've found that a lot of people know about it, but it rather depends on the generation. Bitcoin is much more understandable to young people.

This proves that bitcoin is not a classic pyramid, firstly - the pyramids do not obey technical analysis, and secondly - such rollbacks for the pyramids are deadly at 100%, you do not need to strain much.

Government regulation should be not made because the value of market cap but because for safety peoples funds. Cryptocurrency should be have government regulation not matter market cap value below 100billions dollar because its real market and much money involve in this market

Yes i agree, regulations aim to protect people from illegal activities that uses bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. These illegal activities involves online scams, money laundering and illicit drug trades that common in  the so called dark web. Many countries are now planning to impose it but it may vary in implementation in each country. For some countries, legalizing bitcoin might be the next thing to happen once the regulations are in place.

More regulations, not always mean a bad thing for the crypto world. Some times it is with better regulations and rules that the crypto space become a good environment. Like you see the ICO scams happening around can be deterred to a minimum level when combated with the good crypto environment in a country. It is good unless and until it does not create much intervention into the crypto matters and harm its autonomy operational working. Government probing too much in here can really prove to be detrimental for the market growth.

I think the government regulates bitcoin for good purposes, because if it's not regulated there will be many problems. In addition, if the government does not regulate it does not get tax revenue. So the government will control bitcoin, through the place of bitcoin withdraw into fiat money.

More regulations mean acceptance of cryptocurrencies in more countries and it will create a new market for these currencies and it will boost this market with new investors from countries legalese it.

The regulations are really playing a major role in the recent market status as we can observe that the bitcoin usual price volatility has been in check in some way. I do hope it will be for a time as bitcoin is meant to be volatile in nature.

Number one reason government want to regulate bitcoin is because they want to control by worldwide price
Market value to avoid bitcoin price bubble and i thunk the value do want to reach for bitcoin is only in your dreams

Many governments have regulations for bitcoin and crypto in managing and using it. Each country has policies that manage bitcoins to suit that country. I think this brings about the things that matter. When people can use bitcoin in accordance with the country where they live.

We do not need the government, if we needed the government then bitcoin and most cryptocurrencies will be very different, the ones that need us to believe that they are needed are the governments but at some point people are going to realize that cryptocurrencies can be used independently of the opinion that the government may have about them and when that happens the illusion of government control will disappear.

More regulation for cryptocurren is what we need but we can not regulate it to become centralize currency. It will help bitcoin be legalized but it also will be destroyed soon.

We all know that bitcoin is a decentralised crypto currency and thus thus there is no such proper authentic regulating body over the bitcoin who could keep eye over all the bitcoin activities and specifically the illegal one and thus bitcoin is now widely used as for selling drugs, explosives, money laundering and its a key for terrorism for terrorists and this is the biggest reason why most of the countries are not legalising bitcoin so the only thing that need change in the bitcoin is its proper regulation.

We all know that bitcoin is a decentralised crypto currency and thus there is no such proper authentic regulating body over the bitcoin who could keep eye over all the bitcoin activities and not only those countries can control the bitcoin activities who has legalised bitcoin transaction in their nation, though those countries will impose some additional taxes on its every transaction but somewhere it is somewhere good enough as this would control its illegal activities like in selling drugs, explosives, money laundering and many more.

In my opinion, the government is trying to manage more Bitcoins to prevent many possible problems. So creating many rules is inevitable. Besides, we will see good grades when government support is no longer appear scam.

regulation is only used and needed for some countries that are still in doubt and are still afraid of the circulation or use of cryptocurrency to become one of the legitimate payment instruments, because I read that cryptocurrency like bitcoin is created because it wants to create a currency that cannot be controlled by anyone so this bitcoin cryptocurrency shouldn't need excessive regulation.

For bitcoin to become a global currency in the future, the government needs to have more positive rules regarding electronic money to ensure it is safe when used by everyone.

  At least cryptocurrency is honest. No really complex story behind them. They either solve issues or they do not.  They are on a path to adoption or they are not.

I strongly believe that we need a regulated market. Once this is done, transactions will be safer and more transparent. AML BitCoin rests on a privately regulated public blockchain that facilitates AML-KYC compliance and identifies criminals associated with illicit transactions while maintaining and strengthening the privacy protections for legitimate users.

like the rules for taking part in a bounty that is getting more and more due to the increasing number of applicants, the regulations are more and more stringent, besides that there are too many requirements even though it is expected to make the forum better and have a positive impact, as well as what I believe if this happens to bitcoin with higher the price will add more investors, there will be many regulations from the country as possible or internally, but as long as it is not detrimental why not? Our obligation is only to comply, usually if we obey the rules then our path will be smooth.

Well will see in the future if those regulations of the government will benefit the bitcoin hodlers or not. Maybe those regulations will be given a mutual advantages so that it will promote the advantages of blockchain and cryptocurrency.

While having wider adoption of cryptocurrencies across the world that has led to greater innovation, is vital to running businesses and societies. It is essential to have regulation, supervision and global coordination.

Yes, in order for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency to go normally in the state, the state must legalize them and establish rules for circulation. Such regulation should be inevitable. However, in the future, I also believe that the states will establish additional rules of circulation; this is also inevitable. Also, I admit in the future and various restrictions on cryptocurrency, although this is not necessary. For example, Japan continues to regulate the circulation of cryptocurrencies, this is normal, since cryptocurrency is a completely new type of financial relationship.

After regulation we lost huge amount of "crypto enthusiasts" because this makes price of bitcoin very stable.
My vision need to start regulation from ico

No need for more regulations on cryptocurrency because there are some countries that relatively would not appreciate cryptocurrency to be applied in their country for some reasons on security. However, a certain country could make their own regulations and this may apply only into that country and not as unified regulations for cryptocurrency. Better be this way in creating more regulations for cryptocurrency.

This has its two-sided nature. The rules for electronic money sometimes lose its great nature. However, to be legitimate, electronic money must accept terms from the government. I think, when electronic money is accepted by the government, it may be a good step for it.

See more regulations not always mean a bad thing for the crypto. It may be good if the government of your nation has accepted the bitcoin and their rules and regulations are also allowing the market to work in an efficient manner, thus leading to better market conditions. Not all the countries work this way, in fact!! There are many countries that make it difficult for the crypto currency market to function in those countries and have led many problems for the people.

PS: Regulations in many countries have led to reduced scams and also lesser darkuse of the crypto coins!

Government involvement means centralized and not decentralized ,which I still feels is the only solution to balance crypto and make bitcoin more stable,more confidence to invest too

My thoughts exactly. And I think with regulation, people will trust in crypto more. Because the purpose of regulation is our sake too, right? To ensure our money is safe and that we’re protected? So yes. I am in favor of having cryptos regulated -to a certain extent. :)

I prefer to see crypto regulation for transaction limits in one day for each wallet, and tax for that transaction. then guarantee if there is crypto theft, and the perpetrator must be arrested and punished severely.

It is obvious at least to me that as cryptocurrencies become more and more valuable that we are going to see a greater amount of regulation applied to them, this is not really surprising governments understand very well that cryptocurrencies can create a lot of problems for them in the long term and they are trying to prevent that, but unfortunately for them they are going to fail.

you are very right if indeed the government crypto currency is regulated it will likely have a positive and negative impact will also be obtained if indeed the government cooperates with crypto currencies the security problems of our assets are likely to be guaranteed

If it is true that bitcoin can reach that level, it can be ascertained that there will be a big rumble in the world economy. That will have a tremendous impact, and some countries might try to control it using various methods. Somehow I have a bad feeling if bitcoin reaches that high price. What if that makes it a bubble, it's very scary to imagine.

The regulations are really playing a major role in the recent market status as we can observe that the bitcoin usual price volatility has been in check in some way. I do hope it will be for a time as bitcoin is meant to be volatile in nature.

I think there would more more regulations from the government if such thing will happen but even now there is already few but I don't think the government can totally control the cryptocurrency because this is block chain technology.

I think this may just lead to restrictions in transactions and not the possibility of paying directly with cryptocurrency

i think government will think twice if bitcoin have the high value and i think that government will make a regulation for bitcoin user, investor and traders to manage all the bitcoin circulation in their country

yes that is certain, the government will gradually regulate cryptocurrency, especially on Ico. the reason is that there are many of them, most of them are accused of being scams or becoming shitcoin. this is the cause that will be done in several countries, especially those that have legalized it.

The crypto market needs regulation and it can be very welcome because a market with clear rules that protect investors will attract more money and boost its size

Goverment has a responsibility for that i think  it they implement that can harm the growth of crypto we all know that banks are control by the goverment (central bank)
They are many possible speculation that they can manipulate the price of bitcoin. Because in thier part its alarming to them.

Not sure if banks are controlled by government or government is controlled by banks  ;)

Either way, I don't think that cryptos are alarming to banks or governments at all. If anything it gives them even greater leverage than FIAT money to control and regulate people.

In the future , I think government will give some regulation to control the bitcoin market properly , But I expect it won't be barrier for the investors in the market

The space can not be regulated that is what I think. Governments  heading  to exchanges and getting them to obtain KYC information is only going to be a temporal attempt at regulating the space. India placed a ban on RBI, how is that coming up? I just think those who own these exchanges can just save us the trouble, and lets go DEX, that way all of these nonsense wil end. KYC is the only major regulation I see, plus people who are scared of being shown the way out of their businesses going to parley with regulators. It won't help us. Kudos to CZ.

Why should government interfere just because something is gaining value?
They just have to make sure that ID regulations are respected and thus the risks are managed as highly as possible.

Government regulations is inevitable but they can only impose it on present crypto exchanges because most of them are centralized. Almost all cryptocurrencies are decentralized in nature so it is not possible for any government to impose regultions on them. In the future, government will also deal with another kind of crypto exchange  called DEX or decentralized exchange.

Regulation of cryptocurrency is a thing that should significantly reduce the number of fraudulent projects that appear more and more every day. But regulation should not be violent. It should be similar to maternal care and not to strict cruel control.

Yes, after the state legalizes cryptocurrency, it will continue to establish additional rules for the circulation of cryptocurrency, since from time to time various unforeseen situations will arise that will require further regulation. In addition, I think that over time, the state will establish an increasingly rigid framework for circulation of decentralized cryptocurrency, since, in general, it is not profitable for the state.

That's not a big problem if regulations comes in with crypto, and all we should think about is the advantage which it will provide to all of us. Don't ever think bad omens for it since, fraudulent project really is capable to deal with so many projects ICO behind our crypto markets. Regulations should provide us better future which may lead every project to success and not a failure of expectations.

I believe that such regulations will occur with the use of cryptocurrencies. Knowing how much useful cryptocurrencies are and how big the  amount of money is moving across each projects or ICOs, there is no wonder why some other countries who do have so many things to lose would keep cryptocurrency on hold due to the fear that it might affect their economy. That is why some countries ban it not because it is useless but because they are yet studying it. They wanted to know if allowing it would be very beneficial to them. Yet I am positive as you are that such regulation would not block the development or progress in the use of cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin.

Adding rules with Cryptocurrency only makes it slower. Regulations will make investors feel discouraged by being subject to supervision or restricted by laws, which will negatively impact the Cryptocurrency market. I hope Crypto will not have any rules.

Wall Street is shorting BTC, so it would benefit them to hold off on implementing regulation, allow the price to continue to decline, then when everyone thinks Crypto is dead, QUIETlY bring in regulation, then pump crypto back up a year or two down the line.

Regulations won't have a negative impact on the growth of Bitcoin,Government regulation will help redefine the cryptocurrnecy space and enhance the confidence of investors. With regulation there will be a form of control, for the development of the space, individual will not be able to manipulate the market trend/price.

I believe that the government will have a large share in influencing the development of cryptocurrency. We all need to wait until there is a regulation that definitely states that crypto is a legal financial system to use. government factors can very clearly influence the direction of the development of cryptocurrency very significantly. So our current task is to try to continue to encourage the government's attitude to be able to support and also do various things that can facilitate crypto development in the world.

1) It has forced some of the exchanges to shut down their business in India completely.

2) Some new ones that wanted to started have dropped the idea and development.

3) The business of existing exchanges has also declined considerably.

In the past few months you have seen all ICOs asking for KYC procedures, meaning that it is verifying the identity of users who want to be in the crypto world. Regulations for the security of the users. so that there are no more multiple accounts.

Those people that left the market because the prices have not presented as much movement as before were not enthusiast they were nothing but speculators looking for fast profits and it can be argued that we are better without them, however the problems with KYC policies are real since this has slowed down the innovation in the ico market and this is one of the many reasons for the huge amount of scams in the market.

I think it will not affect the Crypto market. But the government can not enter our market. Because this is a new market, investors are allowed to be anonymously invested and able to do anything with their money and no rules are set. The government will face many difficulties in taxing us.

the regulation for cryptocurrency should not be too much and I think regulation for bitcoin is not needed too much but maybe for some altcoins and other cryptocurrency it might be needed because there are so many tokens and altcoins that are created that there may be regulations for altcoins and tokens that circulating, while for bitcoin it will not be needed.

If crypto is free from any regulations that would be a good for the health of crypto and if we have crypto free from every regulations it is very interesting that we should use crypto because of it's free nature no one can control you you are free to make transactions and every where you are not bound to pay taxes on it.

You are out of context mate ,the question is about if the government will bring more regulations inside cryptocurrency and not having a complete command and control,i dont know if you are reading topic or just titles

For sure cryptocurrency will be more strictly and regulated in future as we are continuously growing and the government wanted to gain a piece of cakes

if crypto currency are regulated then their would not be much of a difference between fiat currency and crypto currency and crypto would lose its identity for what it was created. the purpose would not be served. 

Even now the government has always tried to make rules about this cryptocurrency. But if this is done for the good and progress for the crypto it will be very good, everything will be well organized and acceptable to the community and if the government makes rules to hamper, I am sure this cryptocurrency cannot be contained by government regulations.

Yes I think there will be more regulations regarding crypto currency. Since 2009 up to now, lot of things already change in bitcoin. A simple example: before the creation of account in this forum is very easy but now you have to pay some bitcoin to able to use that account, another is before there is no recaptcha when we will log in our but now it has and then the latest which is the merit.

At the moment, cryptocurrencies do not threaten the world economy and banking system, and each country treats crypto-currencies differently, how events will develop further - it is not known, but I think that with increasing popularity of cryptocurrency, countries will pay more attention to them.

Precisely, the government will insist to regulate crypto as they wanted to control this system to have more power in handling the world of cryptocurrencies which is I think the most motive of the government. There should have some difficulties to regulate crypto as we all know the world now is experiencing war and poverty in some countries that I think affects the growth of crypto.

I think bitcoin regulations would kill the best feature bitcoins have. I don't want my bitcoins regulated by some government or a single body because then, my bitcoins would taxed aside from the transaction fee per exchange per transfer. Bitcoins would probably become less attractive.

Yes, they set about Cryptocurrency and they now make it a rule that is very difficult. And I am sure that regulations made very tight because it has a good purpose. And now many multi accounts that are already reduced and fraud could be reduced because of very strict rules.

in my opinion, of course that will happen, because with the development of bitcoin, more and more will want to drop it. Maybe now there are only a few governments that call bitcoin illegal, but there will come a time when other governments will call the same thing. This in my opinion will not affect the state of bitcoin because at that time bitcoin already had very many users

Governments will understandably fight to regulate it and already have started (it's banned in some countries). If regulations are put in place, the purpose of decentralization is defeated. Once the need for exchanges to make transactions is gone, they won't be able to regulate cryptocurrencies even if they tried.

I do not think that by introducing some new rules in the cryptow market, the government will be able to get information about crypto consumers. Because the government has not been able to control any country on the crypto market. The government will not have any advantage over making new rules of government.

When the time comes where Bitcoin & all other cryptocurrency will be fully accepted and adopted by the majority worldwide, then i guess government will have great chance of imposing rules and regulations on this field. This could have both pros and cons i think. The disadvantage might be greater fees since government may impose taxes on every transaction we have. The advantage maybe this would be more organized and the scam & fraud ICOs will be lessened i guess.

To my opinion regulation in the field of cryptocurrencies is not a bad thing. It can help in many aspects like defining illegal and legal in the field of crypto, protection of users, regulation of market, introducing cryptocurrencies into economy and businesses. All this can help Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to be further adopted and introduced in the general society.
The problem is that many users see regulation just through governments control and to my opinion this is the wrong angle.

More regulatory moves by government on cryptocurrencies can somehow forfeit the purpose of cryptocurrencies being a decentralized assets. Additionally, tax will be implemented too so don't expect for tax-free crypto income anymore.

Well, although it has no threat in the present, but with such a new field, it will always have a certain impact in the future and the government as the guardian and controlling of everything, they have always paid attention to the crypto for a long time. They already have certain rules on crypto, mostly forbidding or preventing people from coming close to crypto, but over time, when the development of crypto is sufficiently large and the government can benefit from it, they will certainly have more new regulations on crypto

Everything will depend on the demand for bitcoin. If we talk 100k, then, first of all, we should see approval from the government. From this it follows that large investors will invest in bitcoin, and then already small investors. Therefore, I believe that the high price of bitcoin will be accompanied only by approval from the government.

I don't have any problem if there will be more regulations for cryptocurrency. As long as it will make every traders, investors and crypto holders more safer from scammer or hackers.

Not for cryptocurrency but for icos we need more regulations. Ico owners should do a kyc for preventing fake team members and also, they must put a deflation model for utility tokens mandatory. Otherwise, they are meaningless.

May be taxed, I agree they charge taxes as long as they legalize the use of bitcoin, of course this really helps me.

Because they are the government, governments at first do not interfere with new industries because it is not worth for them to spend resources to try to regulate the market but once it becomes big enough it becomes profitable for them to do so, but it seems to me they are going to find out this is not going to be the case with cryptocurrencies and they will be confused about what to do.

With bitcoins hitting a record of $100,000, I won't be surprised that the government would do all of its efforts to finally put regulations on the trading and transaction of bitcoins in their country. However, with this kind of regulations comes with a ball and chain to the main feature of bitcoins which is decentralization.

It will all depend on the region, but similar to the internet, hopefully, every country sees the potential for innovation with blockchain, and tries to foster a pro-blockchain environment for the best startups to succeed.

The purpose of creating crytocurrency is to facilitate transactions by eliminating the role of third parties, including banks and the government. Then, the use of blockchain is to anticipate interventions from various parties, because of decentralization. But the governments in each country take different policies , some accept and some refuse. In principle, as long as the cryptocurrency cannot be regulated it will not be accepted in the country that has been refused.

who will determine everything in the next year whether it will be a positive or negative thing with the enactment of regulations on cryptocurrency, I will only wait for the flow that will occur in the future and hope for the best for bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

Of course in the future there will be more regulations from the government, the more people who jump into the world of crypto will increasingly make BTC prices rise and the government will use this to make a taxation process.

I am sure that the currency will continue to develop actively, and therefore the government will still have to make a decision on it. In each country it will be different, someone will regulate it on the territory of their country, and someone will allow it to develop as it was conceived. And I will just hope that there will be more countries that understand the true idea of bitcoin.

I agree with your thoughts. If its price increases above $ 10,000 and even higher. I think the governments will not let it operate freely and more regulation will be applied. But I do not think these are the negative rules for bitcoin, the rules that will help bitcoin grow better in the future.

The government are working seriously to get crypto a tide regulations and restrictions that will be very uncomfortable for investors, and will is because of scam project riding the market.Especially when it com's to taxes they government are looking forward to that.

As more people join the cryptocurrency world, and as the market size and transaction volume increases, there is every likely hood that government will react. This implies having some regulations as regards crryptocurrency. The impact of the regulations on cryptocurrency growth is what really matters. Cryptocurrency exchanges might also be influenced. However, cryptocurrency enthusiasts expect the best possible regulations for the future of cryptocurrency.

I do not think that the laws and regulations of the government regarding the cryptocurrency will change somehow due to the growth of the bitcoin exchange rate. The growth of the exchange rate means only an increase in the liquidity of the product in relation to its price in the market. If it would threaten the welfare of the Fiat currency-then Yes. But while cryptocurrencies are completely dependent on Fiat currencies, this is unlikely.

First of all before it can happen to the government would conduct more regulation of bitcoin crypto currency because of the brilliant sample market price is about 100,000 USD/ bitcoin lets make adopt and approved  first the whole feature of bitcoin before it can happen. Because until now many country doesn't accept it because it can alledgely bothered their good progressive economy even if   it is sometimes leading to the top higher price which was almost 19,000 USD last December 2017.

There are a few rules that I know that 2018 will have regulations that the financiers comment. "We know that electronic money is more of a scam, so rules will help prevent that from happening." Without proper regulation, institutional investors will stay away, And the adoption will not happen, so some regulations may be useful for the industry to reassure investors and the public. "

There will be more regulation of Bitcoin. there are lots of reason l have figure out why there will be more regulations of Bitcoin , cyber crime activities are increasing on daily in the internet. lot of hacking activities perpetually ravaging the Bitcoin wallet which have make many to go bankrupt loosing their hard earn money to cyber criminals. the government will also regulate Bitcoin because of public office holder who might intentionally loot Government funding and deposit in Bitcoin wallet. and last but not the least the rate of ICO pumping up daily stealing investors Bitcoin in name of a ICO Project . in the future there will be strict measures to monitor and regulate Bitcoin.

I think, regulations by the government may have two opposite effects. Full control over cryptocurrency will destroy the original idea of decentralization. So crypto won’t be as valuable as it is now. Cryptocurrency develops naturally without any regulations. The only positive impact of regulations can be their relative stability and insurances guaranteed by governments. This way more people will be confident about their investments in crypto. 

I agree. With so much intervention from the government this will not be good. We can say that the cryptocurrency or the bitcoin will be the same as fiat. This is one thing that is why cryptocurrency investors or bitcoin users like it because of its nature or its characteristics.

Control will give more trust from the states, perhaps it will increase the time and approach to the design of cryptotransactions, but in general it should respond positively to the crypto market and its users. Now it seems to me that it is natural to happen before such a large increase in prices, already before the first $ 10,000 of the turn, either immediately before or immediately after.

dont worry that is will happen sooner or later. of course the government will not allow bitcoin to develop without the benefits obtained by the government. OP is right that the government will not remain silent seeing bitcoin have a price that is rushing and a big marketcap. while the government does not have any part. regulations will definitely be made

yes I agree with you I think that regulation will not inhibit the development of cryptocurrency. because with regulations made by the government, people will think cryptocurrency is legal and they will be interested in investing in cryptocurrency. and with the existence of government regulations can take taxes from cryptocurrency and tax is useful for the government and the people. so that cryptocurrency is regulated that is fine, as long as the regulation does not eliminate the nature of decentralized cryptocurrency.

More rules = more regulation, but I think that cryptocurrencies cannot be regulated and therefore any rules are empty. IMHO

I think that over time there will be more rules from regulators. Bitcoin entered our lives and took place in it. In the end, perhaps Bitcoin ownership will be taxed.
The more the price of Bitcoin rises, the greater will be the desire of regulators to control it.

By looking at current conditions, there are so many fraud cases using crypto as a means. I think there needs to be some kind of regulation, the purpose of which is to protect the community from harm. So that there are no victims, or at least minimize victims

If they make regulations with good intentions, I can support it. In many countries, people have no idea how to pay even taxes after incomes from crypto, because Bitcoin can not be categorised by the law. So I think, a little bit regulation could even help the adoption of cryptocurrencies. But it should not depend on the Bitcoin's dollar value IMO.

regulations are good for Crypto and Bitcoin if they are inclusive of crypto as an asset class. We need a good infrastructure and framework around Bitcoin so that the bigger entities like pension funds, hedge funds and Indeces can start utilizing this asset class for the benefit of their very wealthy clients.

Bitcoin is a currency, asset or commodity that is the definition different from the perspective of each nation. In order for bitcoins to become legal, countries need to provide general rules for bitcoin to develop in a positive way.

I understand Bitcoin is a decentralized virtual currency that is its own" central bank"..... meaning that government cannot really be able to control or influence it's activities.
So even if government wants in ,how do they intend asserting control over Bitcoin.
Your guess is as good as mine.
Although I am of the school of thought that regularization would pave way for Mass adoption.....the question remains,how?

Governments can enforce many regulations to better regulate and control the bitcoin market, which may be beneficial to both parties: government and investors.

We all know crypto currency is not acceptable by all the countries. But some countries are accepting crypto currency because in their country this market is popular. I hope in near future this market will become no1 place for investment.

I agree with you, fraud fraud ico must be dealt with firmly because many people who are cheated even make people feel frustrated and lazy to invest ico again. This end happened a lot to me, even though I had chosen it carefully and the best and finally it was a scam, maybe it wasn't my luck.

Of goverment give regulation, that's mean they already legalize it. But like we know, so many country try to kill cryptocurrency by ban it. They dont want Crypto get bigger and famous more than now, becaise it gonna be threat for their national currency. So, i dont think goverment will regulate it even bitcoin reach $100k.

of course it will not hamper, whatever the government applies the applicable regulations, bitcoin or the like will have no effect. on the one hand there are many people who are involved with bitcoin, so that bitcoin's income continues to rise, even though the market is cheap though. that's a distinct advantage for bitcoin.

The reason we are not seeing more countries banning cryptocurrencies is because they get that if they do that they are not going to have justification to do it, so they are trying to create the narrative that bitcoin is used by criminals to try to make people back their proposal but it seems that no one cares and so they cannot move forward with their agenda of banning bitcoin.

I think the more regulations bitcoin have the more people will probably tend to use fiat money rather than bitcoins. Fact is, today, since bitcoins are expensive to use and slow to transfer,  lot of people still opt for money. But then again, if you want a transfer with personal touch, then bitcoins are the best option.

In each country, bitcoin is defined differently, the way they are traded is different, so that bitcoi becomes global currency, there are general rules for easier trading.

I think cryptocurrency regulation is a bittersweet reality for us (crypto investors, enthusiasts, and believers) because when the cryptocurrency is regulated, we may feel that our crypto earnings will be taxed but at least, we are safe of what we are investing.

The government will issue many regulations, but it is impossible to fully control Bitcoin-related activities ;D

For Bitcoin to be legalized, these digital currency regulations need to be further refined and supplemented to ensure their completeness and comprehensiveness in order to meet the practical requirements and in accordance with national practice. The positive regulations will make the cryptocurrency market more sympathetic to the government.

sometimes it can be a useful thing if crypto gets a regulation, but sometimes this will continue to be used as a method to provide crypto owner security if there is regulation and this is profitable,

At the moment, there are more and more government regulations for Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin needs clear regulations to create stability and sustainability for Bitcoin in particular and cryptocurrency in general.

it is a very good question, whether cryptocurrency should have more regulations or no. On the one hand, with taxes and all the standard regulations all the current investors who use bitcoin will highly likely quit. There are particular reasons, why they keep their assets in crypto, one of them is anonymity, another is exactly lacking standard regulations. On the other hand, it may increase the demand because a lot of ordinary people will get into the mainstream. In that case, in my humble opinion, cryptocurrency will become just another kind of online money.
