How do you feel about market regulation?

[Bitcotalk]

maybe if that happens, investors' interest will decrease if regulation does not harm and makes it safe and comfortable in investing, I think investors may not feel burdened, they will certainly be well received.

No bro, investor’s interest will only increase with regulation, bigger players will get to tap into the market, knowing at least, the market has a government backing and there is no need worrying about what will be happening in the next few years.

For now, a lot of things are not pretty clear to a lot of people, but regulation in a way is more like stamping the market into existence for a lot of people who are skeptical about the government’s approval to at least manage to get into it once that happens. Institutions may have been in the market now, but the main reasons we have not seen more is simply because they are trying to play the safe card.

Bitcoin is obviously manipulated but not regulated
Bitcoin being manipulated by the whales has disadvantages to newbies and small players lacking knowledge
Bitcoin being regulated has the advantages of protecting investors
I am really inbetween

with the regulation, of course bitcoin investment is more secure, so that more investors will join. especially for ico it will be more organized and only qualified ico can participate

I don't think so, your bitcoin asset security is only you who can make sure and it's not a regulation. The regulation will only attract some investors who are hesitant about bitcoin previously, so with a regulation they think that their government believes in bitcoin and will always have value. With regard to security, I don't think that in the internet world there will be nothing safe, there will be many people who have high expertise to steal the assets you have.

Do you think the Bitcoin economy should be regulated?

Not. However, bitcoin is an alternative to fair payment. If the country only wants to know the transaction activity, it can be obtained from the exchange. But when the state must arrange to limit the transaction to be unfair. Each country should be part of its mining function so that transaction costs can be executed faster and cheaper. Moreover, there was no hashrate manipulation or threat that occurred a few days ago.

Market regulation is a positive thing to cryptocurrency.
There should be regulation for the government adopt this currency.
Why they need to do that? everyone may hop in with cryptocurrency and without regulation government will be at risk.
Development and economics of the country will be at great risk.

[LieTOme]

Never ever. And impossible. Period.
 Thank you .

in my opinion it might be because we will never predict for sure the development of the crypto currency if regulation does occur and it can make investors safe and comfortable and not harm I think it will be well received by crypto currency investors

[ogini]

There will be need for this regulations not only Bitcoin alone but on the cryptocurency as a hild. The number of ICO been released in a month multiple it by one year will give room so many scam project because of decentralized nature.

[CaptainKid]

I do not think that crypto-currencies will be globally regulated. Each country will make decisions regarding the regulation of crypto-currencies and the creation of legal norms.

[Sarastiche]

Cryptocurrency Market regulation is good for the community, with regulation lots of investors globally will trust the system, as it is usually said that trust is good, but control is better,  Government regulation will not militate against it development, it will sure help control and reduce the numbers of scammers in crypto community.

[Yamifoud]

I feel it bad for now cause it only creates dumping of market prices. Regulatory board never seen crypto potentiality of being an assets which is the way that they still undecided and not pushing people to adopt this form of investment. But I'm just hoping that they just let go crypto and never look into its regulations process.

[hastag_80]

There's been a lot of talk about submitting the Bitcoin economy to governmental regulation and, frankly, it scares the hell out of me. One of the reasons I'm so excited about Bitcoin is because it presents the same promise of a fully free market that cash does without all the problems surrounding a fiat currency.

Personally, I am strongly against Bitcoin regulation. I believe the market is completely capable of caring for itself and regulation would simply expand government intrusion into people lives. I can see no benefit and a lot of detriment.

What do you think? Do you think the Bitcoin economy should be regulated? If so, to what extent?

Rage

Will in my own perception about the bitcoin regulation there is positive and negative impact into the community of people who become patronage in crypto system,because implementing regulation into the worlds of cryptocurrency is good to make the things in order and become legalized in the face of the worlds government,but the negative impact of this thats everythings is controlled by the world government even cryptocurrency taxes.

[Triwiyono]

actually I agree if bitcoin or the crypto market must be regulated, only as far as regulating prices. because by regulated prices, maybe the price of crypto market can be stable. so it's not too volatile like now. but if you set it up to others, it's the same as we can't move freely using crypto.

[BlueStackz]

Personally I'm ok with crypto currency regulation. This just means that people with vested interests in crypto currency would be protected by tje law and by extension will be prosecuted if found of fraud or any criminal activities involved in such in return for paying taxes. But the thing is it should be pro crypto currency and not just getting taxed without any protection.

I`m ok too with crypto regulation, its transparent, available to all, easy to use, you cant compare benefits from decentralized system supported from all the people for people with centralized system where handful of people decide what is good for everyone, that handful of people is richer every year, while everyone else suffer from that kind of system, that has to end very soon.

It can be a bit of overdone at times. The difference between regulating stuff like stock markets and bitcoin is that bitcoin is decentralized and not tied to anything and loved by the people who would like to stay as anon as possible. For example I have never given any information about myself to any crypto place at all, I know there must be some people who can figure out who I am by searching hard but I want it to be a bit of challenge instead of giving it to people myself.

Hence when you try to regulate something like bitcoin it becomes a question of decentralization. Is something decentralized when regulated? If it is regulated, how can we call it decentralized? Bitcoin was suppose to be a global money for the people instead of one countries rule but people pay taxes with it, if you are paying your taxes, how is it decentralized?

[SteveStake]

Not being regulated is one of the benefits of Bitcoin and one of its key selling points. If it's even possible to be done I only see it hurting the currency by driving people away from it.

[jacafbiz]

What 2018 has shown is that regulations is around the corner, we can not deny this fact, the rise of ICO caused this, when new coins were created through mining this wasn't the case and if ICO or STO as it is now being branded regulations is inevitable, we just need to hope it does not kill or stiff innovation in the space

[yitzjoe]

decentralization is the nature of cryptocurrency when market regulation will be created, in what form and how the regulation is made and the market regulation on crypto is not good for me, but if this regulation is only for taxation then it is important for the continuity of crypto each country in the world

regulation not only about taxation.maybe someday they will isued policy about investing in ICO and about bounty.everything could be regulated as long as it give us certainity and benefits.

[llyfee4u]

Even though regulation is against the spirit of crypto currency concept, i find that i am increasingly in favour of it.  The scams that have been played out by so many ICO's of recent is really beyond a joke.   While regulation will not necessarily get rid of scams altogether, it will go someway for investors to get redress for lost investments.  I would much prefer self regulation but i think as long as there is money to be made, folks would sell out and we'd be back to square one.   Ultimately, regulation is inevitable IMO.

Well that's might have sense, if the regulations is only for countries who wanted to apply taxes and it will help the industry to grow from that particular place then why not, but if the regulation would be for the entire system the sole purpose of decentralization would be break out and everything would be controllable by nations who are also controlling the entire economy of the world.

[YOSHIE]

For now the crypto market conditions are hard to guess with certainty, this is a big challenge for Bitcoin users themselves, and how to respond.
honestly for me always good minded and stay focused, this is where someone as big as patience in investment, panic sell or buy.

SEC already investigate about ICO.they consider it as security and need to make protection to investor's money.all this time no regulation that protect investors money in ico projects.so we need policy that could give us protection.
