In the last month, people in South Korea have been very enthusiastic about digital money, which may be related to their form of war. You know, North Korea now has nuclear weapons, people are always worried about war comes, then their currency will become waste paper overnight. In order to regulate the digital market, it is necessary for the development of bitcoin to make the digital money develop healthily.

I hope so. Only those with bad intentions are worried about this. Government recognition would entice more people to invest in cryptocurrency.

[Dzernej]

I agree that this will be year of regulations and that this could be maybe stoppage for btc to double its value this year. But looking longterm this is good because with regulations the governments will start to accepting ceypto.

[nxivrxgs]

With the development of the market, there will be more and more traders to enter, this time to launch a number of policy is necessary, South Korea before the real name system and specification of ICO system for digital currency in South Korea's development is correct, we believe that countries such as Japan and South Korea government are welcomed for bitcoin this will continue in 2018.

The wave of regulatios is many countries has already started and this will continue. Many governements would like to have some control over cryptocurrencies market but this has alos a good side because I hink with regulations the users will be better protected than they rae now. Cryptocurrencies are great field for different businesses and profit but also for differen kind of scam so regulation could help with that also.
Regulation could also help with public and business confidence and that can bring only good so we shouldn't have fear of that.

I think not all the rules that apply to bitcoin have a good impact on users if bitcoin regulation occurs in every country, because so far we know not all countries accept bitcoin as a means of payment transactions. But of course we hope if the government implements policies on bitcoin with giving them the freedom to trade bitcoin with provisions for business transactions and not for criminal purposes.

I think they will try.

The USA has major, major debt and they will want to skim as much as possible from BTC.

I recommend supporting Gizmowl

The major cost inefficiency in the USA is the military spending.

Gizmowl is the balancer protecting your BTC value.

Everyone seems to fear regulation and that its about tax.  Have news for you, you are already liable for paying taxes on cryptocurrency gains in just about every jurisdiction. You have to report your profit/earnings and pay accordingly, if you dont and get caught you get fined or go to jail.  This is no different to if you were making money trading shares, or a sideline business selling widgets on Ebay.

Regulation comes about to ensure some basic standards or protection of the public, not for taxes.  If you're happy for scams to continue then hope for no regulation.  If you wish for the cryptocurrency economy to be tidied up and bit less wild west, embrace some form of regulation.  Its inevitable and can only help to solidify the technology, bringing in more public acceptance.

The cryptocurrency market is growing fastly and governments should start regulating it to protect their interests.
Many of them already started the regulation process, some others just ban excahnges and prohibit the use of bitcoin.
It will be a long process and they should cooperate with each other which is not really possible.

[Sarastiche]

Regulation that we lack in the crypto space has not help the sector,which give room for scammers and lots of  people coming up with unrealistic project, I hope Government regulations will not impact negatively in the space,as  government will want to have total control of the space.

[Makak4R]

Because of growing cap, I'm sure that all regulators will force implementations of some lows which will start regulating cryptomarket.
One thin when all cryptomarket is about $100M and it is absolutely different thing when it is $600B
so yes, I'm sure 2018 = there will be a lot of changes for cryptoworld.

I think that the settlement of some rules will not affect the bitcoin in any way. The fact that some countries introduce these rules means that bitcoin are really powerful crypto currency, which gradually occupies an important place among all currencies.

[willnotwas]

Maybe you're right. But also I heard it will be year of Altcoins..So anyway it will good year for blockchain industry

[Affilate User]

with the brightness of bitcoin by 2017 will not rule out a lot of regulation by 2018, there will be government interference on bitcoin, this has begun to be seen from some news from the state finance agency about bitcoin 

[Tux99]

For the average cryptocurrency user it`s better that most of the crypto exchange platforms will be regulated.
Nobody wants to deal with shaddy unregulated exchange platforms that might get "hacked" and the owners running away with all the cryptocurrencies.We will have to sacrifice the anonymouty and pay taxes for our holdings but the regulations will reduce the number of online crypto scamms. 

Regulated specially exchange is good idea and better for saving our money on it.
Pay tax is not big deal at least we have profit first.

[Pleione527]

Possible that 2018 will be a year for bitcoin regulations since the development in crypto currencies continue to grow government are really looking to find ways where they can control bitcoin in their economy. Some countries started this regulations so possibly other country will adopt the same thing. Also I'm sure banks will do something regarding bitcoin dominate the currencies

The recent news coming from South Korea where the government is now imposing regulations for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading is quite reminding us the power of the government to deal with the matter and the seemingly no choice but to cooperate with those in the authority. Cryptocurrency exchanges are for making money and when this fact is threatened because of non-compliance with what the government is imposing, business sense will tell us that it would have no choice but to yield. What is happening right now in SoKor can be that catalyst which other nations may also do.

I am seeing this year to be the year where regulations, compliance, KYC and other related matters would be cemented and become just normal things in connection with the cryptocurrency movement. Do you think this can be good in the long-run or are we not sacrificing long-term repercussions for immediate gains?

But the main question is "to what extent can they regulate the market?"

Specifically when it comes to privacy coins it would be almost impossible for governments to make any kind of regulations!

I totally agree with you on this point. If regulation will increase then the market for cryptocurrency will decrease simultaneously. You know that Cryptocurrency world has become popular because of the anonymous platform. so when it will be regulated by any authority then the user and holder will get panic parallelly.

But it can be an issue of worry because most of the countries have taken it seriously for their economic condition that's why they can take some steps regarding this issue. So It will not be a surprising issue if the regulation will start on this platform in this year.

The settlement of the crypto-currency market will delay the growth of the market to some extent.
Governments are simply trying to regain control over people.

I think the government knows the amount of money in the trade of bitcoin. So, the government will want to make tax regulations urgently. This will happen in 2018. For Bitcoin, it would have done as well until now, waiting for the reactions of european countries.
