[2016-02-04] Bitcoin: This Could Be Bad News for Bitcoin Prices

[shane]

New Law Could Threaten Bitcoin
A key feature of bitcoin is under threat and it could shatter the currency’s value. The European Commission is pushing a security bill to drag bitcoin out of the shadows. No more anonymity. (Source: “Here’s Why Europe Is About to Crack Down on Bitcoin Anonymity,” Fortune, February 3, 2016.)

What a worthless article. Bitcoin price will not be affected by this at all. There is already no anonymity when it comes to Bitcoin. Simply use a Bitcoin mixer and everything will be just fine. I do this already for a few years.

Bitcoin is more traceable than cash. The European Union should forbid the usage of cash. So everything is traceable.

Not a problem at all... Most services are online  and they can move operations to areas that are not regulated. If I see this happening, I will just shift

the remaining coins on these services to my cold storage and close my accounts on these regulated services. I then just move those coins to a service

in a unregulated country. I never leave large amounts of coins in online third party services any way.. so it is not a big deal. Keep your coins in cold

storage, until you find a better alternative to these regulated countries.
