Title: [2019-03-09] US Regulators Should Give Bitcoin Some Breathing Space
Post by: Jgilpulg on March 09, 2019, 08:37:16 PM
The importance of maintaining world technological supremacy is gaining momentum. In the United States, defenders of innovation and job creation are pushing for giving Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies some breathing space.

The academics and entrepreneurs would be held back if there is too much regulation. Let them create the new googles and facebooks because cryptocurrencies are not going anywhere

Are they suppressing Bitcoin and crypto too much? I don't really think so tbh. They just don't give green signal for some specific issues like ETF, ICO and so on. I think they need to be clear about that but we can't force them. Even if US don't take a good stance towards crypto we have other countries that can do that like Europe countries.

Exactly. I don't actually think that the US is that negative in terms of their attitude towards bitcoin regulation.

I mean, their stance is still a lot better than what some countries such as India has done, which is essentially restrict access of bitcoin and also bitcoin related services. Are they doing the best job possible in terms of actually giving incentives for new startups to come up in their country though? Probably not, especially when you look at countries like Malta who seem to be proactively doing this.

The fact is that there will always be a conflict of interest between banks and bitcoin, and the government sometimes has to protect their banking industry and take the stance based on their liking. It's not just the US regulators either - it's regulators everywhere.

The US Regulators <SEC> are totally focused on protective measures to safeguard institutional investors and government oversight. Bitcoin <Open market> cannot guarantee a safe and controllable environment for institution investors, so regulators are pushing for better control, surveillance and measures to stop manipulation on local markets.  >:(

The first ETF proposal that adhere to these strict requirements, will get a approval from the US regulators. <They are used to Wall Street, where everything is regulated and controlled and monitored by them.>  >:(
