Tighter Rules for Bitcoin?

[Shamie1002]

Do you agree to this ? The news said that the tighter rules is about anti-laundering in digital currency.

what news? when? which country?
there are many different countries with very different set of rules regarding bitcoin. a good number of them have even removed taxes on bitcoin and don't have any "tight" rules for bitcoin.
some are talking about it. but talk is not the law until it becomes accepted and turns into law.

Can you sight your sources?

If there is then so be it if they can really tighten the rules of every user that using Bitcoin in the whole world maybe they will create a 'Digital Police' or a 'Digital Prosecutor' in able to this, or this an another news that keep on repeating almost every month.

The real essence of Bitcoin is a decentralized crypto currency meaning no one is in control but if they will place some in authority that will keep on controlling it I think that is impossible for it to regulate plus how can you really tell who is the real money launderer if you don't know the real information of that bitcoin address unless it has given but its owner so does this mean that exchanges or bitcoin developer will show now the identity of each user.

During a speech today, a Republican member of the US Congress called for tighter anti-money laundering controls for digital currencies. And i think it is fair.

as i mentioned above:
Talk =/= Rules

there is always a lot of "talk" in these circles, many against bitcoin many for it and sometimes indifference. but as long as they are just "talk" nothing is going to happen.

Don't just put some statement without an argument. If the bitcoin rules are being strictly implemented by the government of a certain country that is their right. However if they kept on telling that bitcoin is a tool for tax evading then that would really be a problem because obviously before bitcoin was created the tax evasion is being rampant and that would sound really unfair if the rules for bitcoin are tighter than their currency.
