Only one of these examples is actually somehow related to new regulation proposals. Other 4 are just executing existing laws to bitcoin-related activities.
US City Mulls 18-Month Moratorium on Bitcoin MiningLocal authorities are (rightfully) concerned over excessive power use of Bitcoin mining and it's their job to assess the risk and prevent negative consequences.
The proposed law was advanced by Mayor Colin Read, who told the Watertown Daily Times that the growth of crypto mining in Plattsburgh "has increased our power usage and put us over our threshold, and it is affecting our ratepayers."
Moratorium could sound like an overkill, but that's still better than having your mining farm invaded by pitchfork mob.
* I would argue that power distribution concerns are an internal business of the specific company doing it, and not that of the authorities. However the solution to that (the moratorium) doesnt seem to be discussed with both parties.
* Brasil blocked that ICO because of anouthorized pitching through social media, while not having regulations on ICOs, they just claimed it could be treated as securities offering.
* TD Bank credit card purchases of crypto currencies ban is just a trend in global banking regulations, so nothing to do with laws, simply internal banking regulations.
* Coinbase info turnover: I am not too deep into US taxes to say if bitcoin is somehow specified there or not, it is the fact that an exchange can be obliged to turnover that data that atracted my attention
* 24 year old sent to prison for conducting an unlicensed money transmitting business - its not about bitcoin, its about money transmitting... when actualy that was a trading operation and I would like to be able to sell my game character's gear without going to prison (as an example)
That is my personal opinion and could be wrong due to lack of some infomation so am very happy to complement it.
That last news however compromises my thought of bitcoin trading on localbitcoins freely.
