Bitcoin Forum

There’s been a lot of discussion around regulating crypto over the last couple of years, and strides have started being made. Keeping an eye on crypto news is a good idea for any trader, but news about regulations seems to be a pretty big one. So, how will new laws impact digital assets? Let’s take a look at how regulation affects the crypto price.

The research
The introduction of new regulations drives down the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, says new research.

According to a 2020 paper published in the journal Research in International Business and Finance, news of increased cryptoasset regulations tends to have a negative effect on the price of Bitcoin. The report looks into five news categories: anti-money laundering, exchange controls, issuance (securities) regulations, and state-backed cryptocurrencies - all of which seemingly drive prices down.

The report looked at 120 regulation news events, reported on by traditional media outlets like Reuters, BBC, Bloomberg, and the Financial Times. All of the events were reported on during 2017 and 2018, and belonged to at least one of the five categories.

The study’s authors estimate that the effect of each regulatory event impacts the price of around 300 cryptocurrencies - mainly of Bitcoin, just because of its huge market cap. They discovered that four out of the five events had a significant effect on prices, with anti-money laundering and issuance regulation being the most significant. However, reports of risk concerns from government don’t seem to impact the prices.

Exchange regulations have caused prices to drop by around 1.78%. News of harsh AML regulations caused a dip of 2.46%, but the largest was issuance regulations, which caused prices to drop by an average of 2.67%.

Contrastingly, news of the relaxation of a specific regulatory policy is seen as good news by the markets and is generally followed by an appreciation in cryptocurrency value. Take President Xi Jinping’s October 2019 speech for example - Bitcoin’s price surged above $10,000 after the speech, a level it hadn’t reached for more than a month.

Why news about regulation?
Cryptocurrency holders generally value freedom above all. News of encroaching regulations of digital assets threatens the foundations of the entire cryptoasset industry. While regulations are meant to reduce risk and help wider adoption in the long run, early crypto holders often eschew government interference - and for good reason. Considering that the crypto industry is still in its early stages, we’ll have to see how it matures for us to gather the true impact of regulations on the market.

Overall, regulations are likely to drive mass adoption, and drive up prices in the long run. Still, it’s pretty clear that crypto holders aren’t happy about increased regulation. The findings of this study also have a pretty huge impact for investors, who should keep an eye out for regulatory news when trading Bitcoin and other crypto. Regulatory news could drive the price up or down, and knowing which way it’ll go is a huge boon.

Now that we’ve taken a look at how regulation affects the crypto price, you might be looking to trade.

New regulations

We’re going to be seeing a lot more cryptoasset regulations in the future. The faster the industry advances, the sooner regulations will tighten. Still, we’ve seen how regulation affects the crypto price, and it’s not pretty. News of certain types of regulation drives down the crypto price, and others make it increase. Traders can be fickle - but it’s only natural that heightened regulation would make crypto stalwarts nervous. Cryptocurrency should be decentralized by nature, but governments and financial institutions are worried and are trying to gain some control. How they’ll continue to expand regulation remains to be seen, but the end result will probably turn the cryptoasset industry into something that it’s actively been trying to avoid. Either way, if you’re a trader, it’s probably best to keep a keen eye on regulatory news in the digital asset industry.

I don't know the kind of regulation that you are referring to. Do you mean the type that is total, that reveals an independent investors identity even if the transaction won't go to an exchange but to a personal wallet or the type that an exchange can limit or monitor. I think that independent transaction regulation will be difficult to do .

I think that the article ignored the concept of regulation. Will regulation be linked to a specific country or is it an agreement between all countries of the world to accept cryptocurrencies?
As for the effect, it varies according to the concept of crypto and how it will be implemented. Judging it as the issue was black or white would be a mistake because the matter may lead to a rise or fall in the price, in contrast, but legal recognition makes it difficult for the price of cryptocurrencies to collapse to zero, and thus the opportunity to increase the price is more likely.

In other words it's made practically no difference, especially as the spread between buying and selling (bid-offer spread) is usually about 2% for most cryptocurrencies, especially the less liquid ones.

Legality in certain countries will cause people to start believing to be involved in digital currencies. It is clear that this will strengthen the foundation of cryptocurrency because there are many people who use it for various purposes.

I am just not sure because the legality of cryptocurrency in a country can increase its price globally, its just that I support that the recognition and legality of cryptocurrency can have a positive effect on economic growth and also the adoption of cryptocurrency.

 Its always a trouble whenever a nation wants to add more regulations, with less regulations its easier to do whatever you want without worrying about laws, my nation doesn't have any laws for crypto for example and we can do whatever we want and as long as the money coming in or out of our bank accounts are not huge we won't have any trouble at all. Its such a new concept that I actually talked with many accountants about what I can do regarding my bitcoins and they couldn't find me any answers because there is no example to follow. Deregulating bitcoin in bigger nations would allow us to have much better prices for all coins, however we can't convince governments to deregulate neither, we are already underregulated compared to other financial comoddities.

I guess he's referring to the first one. And that being said, it would've caused minimal changes to bitcoin's amount even if multiple countries put up regulations on bitcoin. Even if bitcoin transactions get tracked, it's still decentralized, making it harder for countries and governments to tax it accordingly. Honestly I don't mind bitcoin being put up for regulation. It's a small price to pay for being legalized and approved.

By and large, now nothing is happening within the framework of regulation that could at least somehow affect the prices of cryptocurrencies.
I believe that there are only two options when this can happen. This is either the approval of cryptocurrencies by regulators to one degree or another, or their prohibition.
These things are really able to influence the price and provoke players to action.

it depends what regulation is it.i just think when something become valuable,goverment always take it serious,try to control all of it.And bitcoin cant be controlled like that.
"Goverment has no chance against P2P"

To my opinion regulation could affect Bitcoin price in positive way. Regulation that would define position, nature and status of cryptocurrencies, how it should be legaly theated, what is illegal and what isn't, how users are protected, how to include cryptocurrencies into financial and economy system that is all that could help for better adoprion, especialy by businesses. At the end that would also affect the price.
Problem is that many interprete regulation only in negative way and as a government attempt of centralization and surveillance of cryptocurrencies which to my opinion isn't true.

Actually you have started a good discussion here but why you are only given a copy/paste content from the article and you only give youtube link as your references? The full content was copy/pasted from here. https://cryptobriefing.com/regulations-drive-down-bitcoin-prices-research/. Hmm. it might ruin your account now and that is your big mistake because we have a rule here.

Forum rule number 33.

We all now that the bitcoin and the cryptocurrency are one of the most controversial today because some people looking forward into the future that we are now going to digitally convert all of the things even the transactions we made like paying bills, buying kinds of stuff and paying for services but still it depends on the country if they accept this changes because today yet there are few countries does not want to adopt with the use of transitions. That was true; there are only two choices that will happen if they will choose the method of crypto to their country or still stick to the traditional way of transaction.

FATF recommendations are of global application. And it can have an impact leading to the situation, where small individual traders (or people who wanted to buy crypto as a way of paying for something) will have to go for lengthy and very detailed verification procedure - and lose their interest in the crypto as such. On the same moment, institutional investors focused upon speculation will be more interested (as for them regulations means more predictability and trust in the whole environment).
As a result, the crypto price can become more stable (banks trading bots), and for individuals who do not trade with leverage, it may not be interesting that much anymore.

Most effective effect for bitcoin after regulating with some country because many people will use bitcoin as investing and trading where can make bitcoin most popularity digital currency in the world, many people know with bitcoin and they trust how bitcoin become best solution investing assets at the future by giving bigger profit every time.

That's exactly what they understand. They will not be able to ban or track after the ban all transactions and moving coins.
Therefore, the state will never prohibit cryptocurrency without a backup plan, or full control. We have nothing to fear, but the state will try to tax everything.

No, it is not all about crypto regulation but it is all about how a certain person imposed his/her power. His governing power has taken seriously and his pronouncements simply create FOMO which triggers investors/traders/holders to dump their coins.

I understand how SEC regulations affect the market and push someone into a limit. However, if we trusted crypto since before, we are no longer been bothered even SEC will impose strict regulations towards crypto.

But, what if somehow the Government got a hold and somehow sble to regulate the entire crypto currency system? What would happen? For me, I think it would be a disaster because, somehow it would lose its main purpose; its censorship. This would cause a lot of trouble for the crypto currency users.

But wouldn't local trading escape the confines of regulations made by countries? And it's not like they could label those illegal, since in the first place, Bitcoin was free for all to use. Of course, this could possibly bring it down, since a regulated coin is never a wanted one, but the regulations imposed would actually be filled with limitations since again, Bitcoin is free for all to use. They can't really grasp hold of it at any point in time, that is unless they are willing to invest big amounts of money to buy out Bitcoin (Which isn't really going to help in the long term).

Regulations will be here to stay and in 2020 there will be more that we should expect as more and more government bodies are now recognizing the potential of cryptocurrency in terms of contributing something to the global economy. As far as "not good" effects of regulations can be concerned, in my view, all of these are just short-term. With regulations, there is now that legitimacy issue being addressed and with all the scams and hacks going on with this industry getting the trust and confidence of the people may not be that easy, much more if there will be no regulations in place. Years from now, it would be the good side of regulations that can be highlighted, and that can be the time when this industry will be showing more maturity. For now, let's brace for some side-effects of the regulations imposed by governing bodies and try to adopt into it as going against them can be futile (of course, if we are living in a crypto island then that can be fine).

They cannot regulate the price of it since no one can control the cryptocurrency. All they can do is to possibly control the market price by just hoarding it so that the volume in the current exchange will not go up. We all know that the higher the volume, the higher the possibility that the price of it will go down.

So far, laws have affected crypto as well. that's why capitalization is getting less and less and it is the influence of the laws in each country that it regulates on traders. But I think this makes sense, because we're trading in a decentralized market. we can do money laundering and manipulation, which is against the law so far and governments don't want their people to become such components. That is why they have very strict rules for traders.

So far? Money laundering will always be against the law.


Your post reveals how many seconds you've spent reading the OP. I can count them. 0

Regulation is always a big issue in to increase or decrease the public sentiments about crypto. In a word, regulation is proportional to the market sentiment. I do believe, more positive regulations will help to adopt Bitcoin and altcoins more globally. Thanks for sharing this information.

But we should always keep in mind that the real traders are beyond regulations. :D

The law greatly influences the behavior of investors, but with the regulation, I think it will increase investor confidence, so that the development of the crypto world will be faster. and the government's duty to anticipate misuse of cryptocurrency for crime

In many countries NGOs, charities or donating pieces of art is often a leglised form of money laundering.

There's always a different side when it comes to regulations of cryptocurrency. And the regulation, depends on how the government see crypto. Even if they try to regulate it, if they're positive with crypto then there's nothing to worry much. We have more freedom when there's no regulations from the government but the more we try to achieve crypto adoption, government will have to regulate it no matter what. It's like, either you won't accept the regulations or you won't achieve mass adoption.

You are right it good to see the market regulating but the problem is after regulation crypto will be under control of government and we will not be able to feel that free about the use of cryptocurrencies. We will have to pay the fees then and also have to go through some legal formalities so I don’t like regulations and it’s good to see bitcoin independently growing.

Which regulations after you talking about..? Fatf has made a big list on how crypto transactions should be seen and how it is linked to money laundering, in fact the cases which are being fought in different country's courts are looking at that.
Local regulations are being studied and implementing in many countries but they don't affect price globally.

Of course, over time, states will increasingly regulate the circulation of cryptocurrencies. While they are only studying its nature and possible impact on the global financial system, they are also beginning to take the first steps in its regulation. As soon as in practice there will be issues with the circulation of cryptocurrency, which will require permission, states will respond to the situation. It is expected that the regulation of cryptocurrency will become tougher over time.

Based on what I have understand, it will have an effect because if the government will regulate crypto it means they had full control on the cryptos, also the demand and supply of the crypto will be effected because as what I have said they will control on it for the monetary reason. Probably it will the same price in your local currency which is very cheap. That is why it is good for crypto if it will remain anonymous.

The government is only able to regulate exchanges, and also coins that can indeed be adapted to a centralized system by the developer, they cannot control something more broadly.

The wallet blockchain system is very complex and only each user can control the asset in full, the government cannot access it. The government also realizes that crypto movements are similar to other stock entities, there will be no significant restrictions and price pressures because they will prioritize tax regulations first.

Either we like it or not, still the government would like to impose rules and regulations that crypto/and crypto holders must abide with.
That said regulation has always and been a big factor for every market change. I know we feel bad with it as it tends to price manipulation but we have nothing to do but rather to accept that SEC has a big role in here.

Regulation could give bigger effect how to make bitcoin and altcoin back to higher price, when government agree for making bitcoin as legal transaction payment many people will trust their assets with bitcoin and altcoin as investing way, but if government never allowed and have good regulation for bitcoin become legal transaction just few people want to invest with bitcoin.

Regulation on the usage of cryptocurrencies surely makes positive impact over the market. Whenever there is regulated usage of cryptocurrencies people show interest on making use of it. Countable number of countries have shown interest and not yet regulated perfectly. This can also make firms to pay in terms of bitcoin to the employees. More the usage more will be the growth which is a unwritten truth that's been experienced on various things.

with the regulation, it means that mass adoption will occur, so that the use of bitcoin will increase. with increasing usage, it increases demand, so this will have a good impact on bitcoin. on the other hand with the regulation, investors will feel safer to invest

as long as cryptocurreny is still anonymous I think government regulations or financial legal entities will not be so influential. The exception is for countries that have adopted crypto as a legal payment instrument to assist real shrimp. I still remember the regulations for the obligation to use KYC applied in various ICOs and until now it still applies, we all know that this started with government interference because there have been many cases of loss caused by scammers.
It can be imagined if from 2015 projects were not born that deceived many people, then I don't think legal parties will emerge, financial institutions interfere with crypto affairs which crypto is not real but the impact is very real felt.
And lately as I have seen in the OP article, it will indeed feel the impact of global regulations regarding crypto that affect the current crypto prices. It's all back again because of the many cases of money laundering with crypto brokers as a place to store their money.

The rules also depend on their severity and the degree of influence also depends on the power of some countries. If the United States or the European Union, for example, hated cryptos and introduced new laws to European citizens, then it was time for our markets to be affected the most. And for individual governments, I don't feel it has too much effect. In Vietnam, we have many laws that prohibit trading with crypto but exchange intermediaries have made it easy for us to trade. not even showing up on social media will be convicted. So we should not be too worried about the rules.

On the other side of the coin, i think regulations would help in starting to build public trust in crypto. One thing that holds people back is that it's free for all, including hackers and scammers. Majority are used to the security government insurances that banks provide. Crypto is probably more secure yes, but you won't be able to make the public immediately believe that. Government support would definitely back confidence up but here is where regulations will come in.

but cryptocurrency should not be controlled by anyone because if cryptocurrency is set like that it will make the government able to master cryptocurrency and it will have a negative impact on the life of cryptocurrency in the future. I read the whitepapert from bitcoin which states he made bitcoin because he wanted to create a digital currency that could not be regulated by anyone, including regulations from various countries.

I haven't looked up the data but from what was in the article, it seem to be a minimal decrease in usage. Why there would even be a decrease is understandable.

Imagine buying plenty of crypto and then your government out of the blue shuts down all local exchanges. Your crypto left in them could disappear or you'll have a hard time retrieving them and those you kept in other wallets you'd have fewer ways of cashing out. It's only natural for people to be cautious whenever they hear about impending regulations.

In my opinion, the existence of new regulation related to cryptocurrency will greatly affect the development of crypto prices. We all
knowing the government's biggest wish is to regulate the circulation of crypto so that it can be controlled by the government.And if it
becoming reality will make crypto lose its identity. There is no decentralization anymore, so this will reduce demand crypto and cause
the price of crypto to drop dramatically. Because in my opinion it will be difficult to find the similarity at any time the wishes of the
government and cryptocurrency.

If we could move beyond the regulations difficult approach of the crypto prices we could also see that it also increases the adoption rate. Definitely, because of so many regulations the price drops and that is sad however price can recover, price can always go higher, yet the regulations and people it brings can't be achieved without them. Now that we have more and more regulations everywhere around the world, we also have more people using bitcoin for regular stuff as well.

Knowing what the crypto regulations is always better compared to not knowing if you are in legal zone or doing something illegal. Mass adoption will come thanks to regulations around the world, we can't expect everyone to go into crypto world not caring about what the governments will think.

Why many people afraid for investing with bitcoin and altcoin? there are not regulation rule with bitcoin in some country and make many citizen never trust and believe for bitcoin become good investment assets, but when government have allow bitcoin as legal currency payment I think give chance and way for many people trusted with bitcoin and altcoin.

Regulations can be a factor and also can be a catalysts in the price movement of the bitcoin. There will be a huge effect if most of the government will create regulations about accepting it in their country. It will create demand that can boost the price of bitcoin, we all know that the price of bitcoin is relying on supply and demand. The more the demand, the supply is less that can lead to an increase to its price.

Do you think that regulation will just because the price continuously increases? Come on, if you really read some articles, they stated that as the industry rapidly advances, the the more the regulation will exist. That's why it is very challenging to hold digital assets. They hinder someone to hold crypto because they want to have a share when they know people uses it.



That's very risky, you also need to know if you're location is safe and secured. If it is illegal for your place to have access in cryptocurrency, then you're accountable for the consequences that you'll take. Being knowledgeable about crypto regulations are very important, most especially when you are willing to risk your digital assets just to work and use crypto wisely.

Regulations affect the price either directly or indirectly.The regulation in favor of crypto increse the adoption and the massive adoption raise the demand which push the price high.
Regulations against the crypto bound the user to buy and sell restricted and acces to crypto become more difficult and users of crupto like traders and investorsunable to make transactions freely,It results the low volume in exchanges and affect the price of crypto.

Doubtful understanding. Cryptocurrency is primarily valued because it is almost impossible to take control of. Of course, you can create artificial restrictions for its movement, but states will be able to block its flow and transactions between users all the same. Therefore, with all the desire to take control of it, it won’t work out, and regulatory methods are needed only to remove taxes from cryptocurrencies.

Regulations at this point is something that I expect to have a negative effect on price in the short term because it puts a leash on various activities that have been responding to the uncontrolled and unsubstantiated increase in the price of bitcoin to the loss of many who were only attracted to the price in the first instance. It also come with some level of accountability in the industry to show that its no longer free for all. At the same time it shows to individuals who are all about scamming activities that someone is watching and they are ready to make you account for your action in the crypto space. Eventually, it will bring sanity to the market and growth would be one that can be defended.

I only think about the tax when the regulations for the cryptocurrency is accepted because that is the way for the government to take more income from the people. Although it will hard to find the people who used cryptocurrency, they will get the info by searching with the banks. But with the regulations, people will believe in crypto, and they will invest in crypto too. That will make the crypto more popular so that many people will join the crypto world.

Regulating crypto will definitely pool in more investment from a group of users but at the same time, crypto will lose its core value of being anonymous as well as no third party involvement clause. This will keep scammers at bay but early adopters might leave due to restrictions and tax, I think it's better for us if the crypto is unregulated as it was created for the same purpose.

I think it's not only that because when there are clear regulations on the use of cryptocurrency it will have a good impact on the price of cryptocurrency that will buy more and be used for everyday transactions so cryptocurrency will grow rapidly and will create everything into digital.

the regulations of a country will allow more crypto users in the region and can potentially have price growth in the market. and when regulations already exist, the development of crypto in these countries will be even more advanced compared to countries that have not yet implemented regulations, due to limited access.

Regulations doesn't actually means restricting the crypto usage completely so it has positive as well as negative effects on the cryptocurrencies but regulation will increase the adoption and also more and more countries will follow if a developed country regulate the cryptocurrency usage so and long time it has positive effect.

It was created with unregulated nature and it will remain the same. Yes it would be beneficial for both the market and users if it would stay the same as people are already overburdened by the huge taxes the governments have implemented over everything. If it would be regulated by someone it would lose the attraction and value it has achieved uphill now.

Regulation is the most effective way how to make bitcoin have higher price, looks when some country make only good news with bitcoin will be accepted and discuss at the public economic world give make price on the top and could increase more than 30%, how come if bitcoin really get regulation in one country become legal currency digital payment?

No it wont happen.! Bitcoin might be adopted on a certain country but doesnt mean that it would become its legal currency for digital payment.I would rather believe that e-fiat would be consider that time.

Regulation do somehow opposes Cryptos existence yet we know that Decentralization on what matter most but we need to have some acceptance and support from government to open up gateway for
people to recognize generally but we know this isnt always the case because we have seen that most of them do really opposes cryptos existence.

If there will be a regulation for the cryptocurrency, the prices of almost all of the cryptocurrencies will go up high because the people will see it as a good news since the government is acknowledging the value and use of the cryptocurrency. I am wishing this type of scenario for a long time for the major countries and also to the growing countries so they can rise up fast.

like in my country the regulation is only to take tax from crypto users, but they forbid using crypto as a means of payment, this will be a burden for us. we do not get any benefit from the regulation, unless it becomes legal and free to use, it will be useful and will many new people are interested in crypto because it already has regulations.

I think it would not be affected in some sort.

I mean, if a country regulated to never use Bitcoin in their country that means they can just stop accepting Bitcoin but still, a user can access his Bitcoin wallet, transact Bitcoin to his friends or other people, he can still even trade at that point since they can't just block all of the sites where they can trade and sell their Bitcoin. The only problem there is how will they be able to send or convert their Bitcoins into their fiat.

People believes too much in government, so if regulation happen they will thought of it as legal and they will feel safer since government backed it's rules, without them knowing that it will also adds too much tax and limits on the now existing crypto performance. But will sure get adoption more.

It depends on regulation. Crypto friendly regulation will push adoption forward and we will see price grow

If you regulate the Bitcoin with proper regulations like we see in the Japan nothing will affect the BTC price or any cryptocurrency but cheapest country like US and all will not allow BTC boom.
So they will put the struggles for sure. So soon if we boycott those countries we can see BTC go bigger.

Positive or negative, I think it will just slightly affect the price of crypto currencies. As no one can really stop the people from using it. If they will be banning cryptos, government can't really or completely ban it, people can still use it.

That pretty much is what will happen even if laws and regulations were put up to control bitcoin's transaction. If anything it could pose a positive effect on bitcoin's price because people could get the impression that since it's accredited by the government, we can invest on it without any worries of it being scam or something. However, that is still up for debate, and until sufficient knowledge is gained, we wouldn't be able to really know what the answer is to this question.

More than the price, regulations affect the accessibility factor. It makes it less accessible to people and hence, affects the adoption. This isn't really healthy for Bitcoin. There are countries where cryptos are outrightly illegal and there are some where heavy regulations make Bitcoin not at all worthy to have. Since, this curbs adoption. Demand won't rise that much as it could. This could at the end affect the price as a by product.

That is not really true! Regulations help to strength the market and make crypto currencies more available to the general public. No sane person wants to apply to some shady asian exchange just to buy a specific coin or token that they want to invest to.

The countries who make crypto illegal have usually far worse problems than monetary souveranity, thus making them a very bad example overall, due to their lack on all life quality on all borders. In Europa I would very much have a good and robust regulation, but on the other hand every country is cooking their own crypto meal and the regulations are extremely different. For example, crypto profits are entirely tax free in Portugal.

It was basically made decentralized for the sole purpose that states cannot get control of it and rule it. It is basically made for the benefit of common people not states and this is why common masses are highly supporting it. What I think is that governments will try to figure out some taxation method and are going to make bitcoin legal. They also want to get benefited from this technology.

Regulations are a big deal ofcourse ,
One can already see how the governmental bodies are all set on making them in their control and the whales and other investors are trying to manipulate the market in their own way .
Even people who are influential are posting things on their social media which might scare off the investors , all of them are trying to control the bitcoins in their own way and this needs to be stopped because it's causing small investors a big harm more or so .

Regulation is the success key for bitcoin to be legal currency digital payment and become global currency at the future, without get regulation from government bitcoin become only investment assets forever without have chance to be legal currency payment transaction.

indeed with the existence of such regulation can get direct trust from the local government that accepts the use of cryptocurrency and it will make many people start using cryptocurrency to make transactions using cryptocurrency and will have a direct impact on price movements which will increase as more and more people use it.

especially if regulations are carried out by all countries, fluctuations will be less than it is today. but unfortunately it still requires time for regulation from each country. but fortunately many developed countries have raised positive signals about the use of bitcoin, which will facilitate its development

I don’t really know how the regulation you’re talking about works, but I’m guessing that it has to do with exchanges because personal transactions to a private wallet can’t be regulated and as for exchanges, it’s not every exchange that can be regulated, there are decentralized exchanges and these ones can’t be regulated, except the centralized ones.

Another thing you have to know is that no particular country can control Bitcoin, so they only control the ones in the possession of exchanges that are in their countries. When people are not depending on any form of decentralization like exchanges and able to spend bitcoins for products and services then no regulations will impact on cryptos in any means.

Yes your right that the success of bitcoin or the whole cryptocurrency is regulation but did you think that this regulation will be hate of the crypto community as well as the people in the crypto space? Regulations means responsibility in which we will be having rules or what we called laws to be follow and it is sucks in which the people will definitely hate it.
And there will be a huge effect if bitcoin will be having a a rules and regulations regarding of transaction and payment on different aspects. This probably the main reason why bitcoin and cryptocurrency is getting good because it has no regulations to be maintained off.

correct, with the regulation of course it will have an impact on the price of bitcoin and maybe also for other crypto, with real use it is very likely the price will be more stable and with these regulations then it will also have a good impact for the future of bitcoin because bitcoin can be felt more tangible benefits with its use and also of course more and more industrial developers will adopt it

We do not want it to be a legal one because that will snatch the qualities of Bitcoin. Everyone wants to enjoy the free status of it, becoming legal would allow the governments to control it. Then they will induce huge taxes on it also. This would not be good for crypto as people will start taking back their investments from this market, because decentralization is the biggest attraction for investors.

what ? you mean bitcoin is illegal now  ? its bad if its illegal but nah  .  illegal is not the right term to be used  .  regulation isnt the key for bitcoin to be succesful because look at it now , bitcoin is now healthy without regulation but regulation can only make bitcoin complicated  .  but regulation can really affect the price of crypto  ?  i guess no because as of now , bitcoin is already unstable  so how much more if its regulated   ?  the flow will be the same  .

You are right all of us are looking for feeling free of restricts about our investments and this is possible only if bitcoin will remain away from all kind of regulations to be honest I really don't want bitcoin to be regular ever and it will remain this way so people will be happy than as it increase limitlessly while investing money in bitcoin and regulation will bound it to be limited also will have to pay high taxes.

The government has to come up with the regulation and if that happens it might impact the market in the short period but in the long term we will have regulation and you have to deal with it in the future and in the next few years we will have a regulated market.

I agree with you with the regulation from the government maybe in the future it will make cryptocurrency not decentralized. and can't move freely like now. in my opinion it would be better if cryptocurrency remained like this without regulation and decentralized. and the existence of regulations also does not guarantee people to invest or use cryptocurrency.

Such government regulations only benefit them, but not cryptocurrency. do they want to get tax from cryptocurrency users?
regulation might make people aware of bitcoin investments, but still they will see a big risk with fluctuations.

We can't speculation with bitcoin regulation at the future could give impact for bitcoin raising to higher price or not, we don't know how respond with many people if bitcoin really get regulation from government and how they are interested with bitcoin and altcoin investment because crypto is no guarantee keep going to higher price always.

There are levels of regulation that affects the price differently. Small and light regulations are usually not the ones that create any problems, however hard and difficult regulations that are heavy on the side of too much to do and lack of anonymity etc, it does affect it very terribly.

So, there are regulations and there are regulations, the good ones even increases the adoption because the more legal things get, the easier in peoples minds to use bitcoin and they won't be scared, the harder regulations get just like the NYE one, the more people will be scared off it because of all the work it requires for us to do. That is the gist of it, we need regulations but we don't need it too much, we need it just enough to help us get more people but not too much that it scares people off.

I think what makes most people afraid or shy away from regulations is because of the fear that the independence of Bitcoin will be withdrawn by the government.
Though, there is every possibility of this to happen but that  does not mean that it won't be giving something in return. Regulation will skyrock Bitcoin the top place, way better than it is recently. We just hope it is done rightly.

Even with regulation there is no hundred percent guarantee that there will be a price increase. Instead, what we should hope to gain is the exposure which will pay off in the long run.
Why we hope to get a regulation on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general is because most people who wants to invest in Bitcoin are reluctant because their is no official regulation made on it. The huge adoption is the impact of regulation.

We can speculate to that. That will decide the future of crypto currencies, it is in the hands of the government whether they want to legalize it or ban it. It will not be into interesting reasons but in the future, if the majority of people are using it, even haters and other people that don't know it will use it.

Of course, a lot of nuances await the cryptocurrency market and cryptocurrency users after the cryptocurrency is legalized.  Of course, many users have a negative attitude towards this, but answering the question about cryptocurrency pricing because of its control, without going into details and not using various technical terms, we can say the following, that for many fraudsters in the cryptocurrency market their activity will end, because  control will be tight and any fraud will be punished by law.  And this is a real fact that will attract more investment in the cryptocurrency market, since today investors are still afraid of fraud.

That I would be worried about. If we will be talking about control, and it's gonna be tight? I would be really worried. One of the reasons I am using crypto currency is the fact that I am free to do what I want from it. Of course, I would be limiting myself from illegal transactions. What I want to say it, I don't want to be controlled by anybody of the government.

I don't see any possibility to control the price of digital assets. The only thing they can regulate is to ensure those centralized exchanges operate under a license, which they can ensure the perform KYC/AML for all users of their platform

Yes they cannot control the digital asset which they don't have control over but they can try to turn the tides other way around by passing certain positive or negative statement which would have impact on digital assets I mean crypto currency. China does it everytime and now users are smart and they don't care about such updates but if any other country which is safe haven to crypto releases any statement then it would definitely make its Ripple felt throughout the market.

Well maybe affect because people will not invest so more if they need to pay taxes and most authorities want to put big tax on crypto.

There are affecting the cryptos price and they don't, it all depends how you see the situations as for some countries they have nothing against Bitcoin or cryptos but in some they want to control it so they looking for a way to regulate Bitcoin after some certain rules...look at China as example. I think in the near future Bitcoin somehow will be regulated and be more centralized but until then we have plenty of time to buy and hold and don't let this news affect your holdings.

Fundamentals and sentiments have effect in the cryptocurrency market, the legalization and regulation of a country can become a catalyst in which can boost the price of the bitcoin. The regulation can affect the price because people will become curious if their government legalize it in their country, bitcoin became popular in my country when the senate created regulations about it.

Belief in the idea of the state and trust in the state itself are two different things.
The state represents society and people must believe in society and therefore obey its laws so that society does not break up.

Otherwise, without the law, we will be subject to too much influence of our animal brain and our animal instincts, which will lead to the disintegration of mankind into small groups and its degradation.
But for the state and politicians I would not, after all, first of all, they pursue personal benefits under the guise of high ideals.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are the ideal of freedom that we must carry into society.

But do not forget about that time (2016-2017), when, due to the practically lack of market regulation, there were a lot of fraudulent ICOs and other projects. Therefore, freedom is good, but everything should be in moderation, in order to avoid outright fraud.

From the part you are right. But I think that the problem here is not that the market is not regulated, but that people cannot distinguish a healthy project from a sick one.
In addition, the ICO market, at that time, offered great opportunities for making money, which was the key reason why people invested in ICO projects and so often came across scam projects.
If people cared only about the capabilities of the blockchain technology itself, they would not invest in promising huge payouts, not in financial pyramids, but in business businesses.

freedom ? then why these guys above wants regulation  ? didnt they know that when crypto is regulated its wolrd will be tighter and not really free anymore ( freedom ) but on the bright side ,this will also attract people and the reason already stated above  . if this attract people then the price will be rising but im still doubting because they said once crypto is regulated its value wil now become stable   ? dunno what to believe now  . sorry im still confused  about this regulation stuff

Problem stant in the regulation that does nothing to sustain decentralised technology, for example they could offer green certificate for using alternative energy sources. In the end they just make everything to be harder and probably it will be more complicated to launch a new project with all kind of regulations.

And yet, I personally think that there should still be some regulation on the part of states, otherwise we will again have the return of the times of the Wild West.
At least, all ICOs must certainly go through various procedures that confirm their integrity and legality.

Well, they will not be able to tax bitcoin and crypto currencies that easily. We all know that is decentralized and they will not be able to tax that unless they find another way or take advantage of the exchanges. That is the only way that they can tax bitcoin, another thing that I am seeing is if that a company agreed on paying their employees using bitcoin, in that case, they can just deduct from it but still, I think that is different from taxing it. Also, our country already regulated bitcoin and still, nothing is happening. There might be an improvement but it is so slow.

It is indeed good if that's gonna happen, but how are we gonna make sure that if regulation happens, the scammers are being caught when they are really good at hiding. Maybe if the government take responsibility and they will make some investigation using their intelligence agency, maybe that can happen. The thing you have said when giving some regulations also on some new projects that are definitely better, they can really make some response when that particular project scams its investors and the bounty hunters.

This is also one of the things they cannot do when they regulate and how does it affect the value, we all know that crypto is decentralized, We could think that they can make some adjustments but in terms of the taxation, I think that is hard to do but can possible to happen.

You do know that Bitcoin and decentralized cryptocurrencies are not like other assets that the government can easily tamp down with regulations. Bitcoin is different and since it is spread across different nations through ledgers it is hard for the government to regulate it in any way. If it was like other assets they would have try to put control on it to reduce the supply and make it scarce.

For them to be able to control Bitcoin they will all have to join together , though there are still some little ways that their regulation can have impact on Bitcoin, just like banning it, but it wouldn’t much. And it wouldn’t be possible for them to join hands together and control Bitcoin because they all have different opinions on it, some of them are in support of it while others are not.

the impact  of regulations is pretty bad  , i cant verify it on my own self but based only on what i read online crypto regulations means a government put a strict rule for the users   .

 it feels like the room will become smaller , we cannot now enjoy cryptos the way they were will built to be  . if people feel feel pressured due to regulation   , what can prolly happen is that they will quit on using cryptos and that results for the values to go down

I support cryptocurrency regulation due to the rate at which so many unnecessary currency are being introduced into the crypto space which gives most investors having hard time in choosing the best blockchain project to invest in. With regulation I believe the lost confident from investors to the crypto space will be restored back. Yes, blockchain is meant to be a decentralized system but with regulation alongside the decentralization, the crypto space will be a safer place.

To my opinion regulation could affect cryptocurrency in positive way. It gives certain legal framework and security especialy for businesses and leads to better adoption and confidence.
Unlike some beleive regulation wouldn't endanger Bitcoin decentralization and independency and to my opinion regulation is necessary for further development and growth of cryptocurrencies, it's a precindition for successful implementation into financial system.

Doesn't know if this is true or not but just look at the map of this article.  (https://cryptonews.com/guides/countries-in-which-bitcoin-is-banned-or-legal.htm)

Most of the countries already legalized Bitcoin but we are still not seeing a pump in the price until now. That just means that despite the regulations or legalizations that are happening unless people; from merchants to users use it, it will not affect the price of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. In terms of those new coins, well, that is inevitable.

We are fortunate that we live in a multipolar world, because if only the United States made a decision of this kind, it would certainly not be reflected in the cryptocurrency market for the better.
However, the US has opponents such as China and it can easily turn the rules of the game fully approving the cryptocurrency, for example.
The United States simply will not have any chance in view of the fact that China will impose its game.

Cant disagree on this one. So regulations actually affect crypto market heavily, but since  its not restricted by us only - we are seeing something like a tug of war between all market regulators.

What is affecting cryptocurrency related legal businesses as well. Eg. may be advertising of services. As main advertising-related companies are based in the US (google, yahoo, facebook) you may not be able to promote your services at all, because they will ask you for a cryptocurrency license even if it is non-existent in your country (or applies to general financial-related services, not specifically to cryptos). If you cannot deliver it - you cannot promote your services locally, but companies from abroad (which may not meet local legal requirements, but have a foreign license not valid locally) can.

Government will apply their regulation to the current crypto projects and new projects will need to approve before they proceed to it. It will help a lot for those customers that want to secure their investment. It will easier for them to track if someone will scam them. Countries like mine have not specific regulation about bitcoin, I think they're need to study more about cryto before they make a regulation about it. It will gain more attention to the people if they make regulation about crypto because they know that they government will help them to track if they got scam.

But this will be just an added project cost to the project so most likely they will end up pushing higher soft capitalization. Although it will help to secure the investment of the investors there is still a risk with these such as high competition. If we have physical regulation control by the government then all of us will be entitled to start and begin a project. Big countries like USA and China are subjective on this kind of matter. Russia on the other hand started its tokenization process for their investors.
