Why not. When its government and regulatory authorities anything can be done from their side things are not arranged properly. I mean what are the chances if bitcoin being used for illegal activities and government aint doing anything about it in first. I think regulations are just amendments to the laws which already exist in the books. They can add up things as and when they are required to do so. Regulatory framework for crypto would include taxation as top priority and it will be used as normal currency only which will make the stuff like a local currency accordingly with the different countries.

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

Countries like China, Indonesia, Korea are banning cryptocurrencies like bitcoins due to its decentralised nature. No central authorities have control over bitcoins, so these countries think bitcoins as fraud, and may mislead their economies. One of the secret of bitcoins popularity is its decentralised autonomous nature. If all countries started regulating bitcoin, it will endanger its nature as well as trust of its users. This may result in fall of bitcoin price.

Regulation is possible by any country. Trouble comes only if a major country like China,how they tried to regulate and remove the concept of crypto currencies from the minds of its citizens. Rumors say that bitcoin and trading is going to come back to China but nothing is official yet.
There is no use of regulating bitcoin ,people will find one way or the other just to be non-compliant and the fact that its bitcoin and not a shitcoin.

People are still trading cryptos in China. It can't really be stopped without destroying trust in the blockchain entirely and as long as there's money to be made people will come flocking to it.

I think there needs to be some easy way to deal with taxes in a way that doesn't upset traders and investors. There also needs to be a legal framework that holds people liable, through contracts, in case of payments made through cryptocurrencies. But other than that I don't think a lot can be done due to the nature of the blockchain.

Not only is it possible, it's necessary. Regulation needs to take place at the points of exchange between Bitcoin and fiat, so basically businesses that operate as exchanges. Regulation, especially around KYC and AML, will bring credibility to those operating in this space, and provide legal recourse in the event they are negligent or fraudulent.

The problem with businesses is, that they can just make the coins disappear and nobody would ever have access to them. It's not like there's a bank account that can be frozen or assets that can be liquidated.

Yes why not? I mean it is a new asset class and their are a lot of unique characteristics but no reason there cant be law and regulation for it. I cant think of a single reason why bitcoin couldnt have legislation around it.

I guess it is really possible because government always want to have control over almost certain things, and bitcoin can be included as well. That is why news about bitcoin in a country ended up in banning exchanges, and etc. But they still cannot control bitcoin I think, so the only solution for them is regulation. So possibilities still exist.
I think the regulation is made just about where the rules of how exchanges work in that country.
several times the countries have tried it eventually failed and ended up banning.
Regulation yes - Control no.
this condition is interesting because the regulation is made precisely to controlling. I think it's better there is no regulation. if they were to take full control about it.

bitcoin is invented to work independently that no one hold or regulates it not even govenments so , i think it will be forever this way and i dont know what will be the benefit of having a regulatory framework around bitcoin? it is to regulate users ? because there were so many bitcoin users nowadays and the network is really congested. anyways , its ok for me if they can implement it and if that can totally improved the way bitcoin works.


That can happen. The government being the most powerful business entity in one country would surely have its hand in the bitcoin market especially as its growth is becoming more and more noticeable. I have read that some countries are even planning to have taxes over it. However, I think people would not support that because that would spell the inconvenience of using bitcoin disappearing.

If you just want to trade bitcoins and make a profit because of the price increase then yes, maybe you would prefer regulation by the government. But that would also mean you'll have to pay taxes, what does not have to be a bad thing of course. But bitcoin was developed to avoid regulations, to cut off financial organizations to make a profit from your financial transactions. So, calling for regulations is a contradiction in this case.

In the united states, the cost of healthcare regulation under the affordable care act (so called: obamacare) was more than 20 tax hikes and $1+ trillion dollars. The website setup by the federal government to allow americans to sign up for healthcare subsidies cost $1 billion dollars & contained many errors which prevented it from functioning properly when opened to the public.

It is possible that creating a regulatory framework for bitcoin is 100% impossible. Taxes would need to be hiked substantially to pay for the cost and maintenance of the program. Deficits being large, and budgets strained, makes funding a project like state imposed crypto regulation a virtual impossibility.

Bitcoin regulation could be like a manned mission to mars. People talk about it but there isn't anyone willing to spend big money to make it happen. Normally taxpayers would cover the bill. But that source of revenue has been depleted.

Attaching KYC documents in order to mark your bitcoin address as a "legit and acceptable address", that could be the only way to regulate bitcoin in my opinion.

Everyone who had his address KYC confirmed, would be able to transfer funds from this address into stores or to use it as a sort of payment, if your address isn't KYC verified, then it will be illegal for stores/online shops to accept you as a customer and to let you pay with bitcoins.

I still think that regulating bitcoin is far from going mainstream.

In due time this will be implemented mandatorily.. A regulation that is doable and beneficial to both the bitcoin community and the government.. This will be the biggest turn around in bitcoin history,, from a decentralized status to a regulated one but is good on both side.. This time as scammers and criminal activities are widespread,, I’m open for it as long as it is for fairness..

That's could be the way to regulate the bitcoin. But it's throwing away our privacy even though we can make a brand new completely anonymous address. It's just not how bitcoin made for, decentralized, privacy and anonymity. It's kinda weird to see a system that designed for anonymity and privacy but the user does the opposite.

Control sounds to me a "few people" regulating, but just regulating sounds like every body has the control

Cryptocurrency has been widely criticised for lack of regulation. Do you think it is possible to come up with a regulatory framework around Bitcoin?

To be honest, those critics just don’t like cryptocurrency, plain and simple. If the regulation of bitcoin is implemented they will look for another reason to criticise it. They are just a bunch of insecured individuals who were being affected by the phenomenal popularity of bitcoin that they’re not ready and not expected to be. Those are mostly bankers/CEO, government officials w/investments on banks(conflict of interest), and the media (paid by the bankers). And what is the common dominators of all “Hunger of Money”.

Yes it could be possible to come up with a regulatory framework for Bitcoin. I think in time it will be implemented but not now since bitcoin is still fully decentralized. Once the government will mandate it by law then it will.

i think in future, each of government will apply some regulation for bitcoin especially for bitcoin user related with the crypto currency become widely in every country. but we still don't know what kind of regulating from the government and i hope that the government will not disappointing bitcoin user and will allow bitcoin to be used for their citizen. i think its not too long to see the regulated from each of government is apply and i think we can prepare for this and obey the rule.

Yes, this is already started by the countries who legalize bitcoin in which this is the condition that needs to be done before adopting the bitcoin and other digital currencies. Regulation is better so that the digital currencies will not be use in in crimes and other illegal activities in order to protect the welfare of the a certain country and its citizens from fraud and bad elements.
