Full article hereWell this was quite unexpected and very refreshing when more and more countries have a different position on cryptocurrencies right now. ( “Belarus becomes the first country in the world to legalize smart contracts at the country level”) Such good news and smart position of the government there, willing to leave freedom to all citizens, and probably trying to attract more people and wealth in the country. Thumbs up.

That's a very great news. Congratulations. I wish more country should do this. To become a better world we need to accept block chain, Bitcoin etc. My country also not accepting Bitcoin yet. Hope that with 2019 my country will be come a block chain and crypto currency user too.

This is actually a big slap to south korea and china from a relatively small country. Belarus is trying to pull new investment from foreigners which they likely get after this decree. More and more bitcoin trading platform might move to belarus as well as number of new companies will be registered there to run ICO without any legal headace. I also like to move there and live there trading cryptocurrencies.

wow, this was unexpected regarding taxation! Activity such as mining, acquisition, alienation of tokens, carried out by individuals, are not entrepreneurial activities, and tokens are not subject to declaration. At the same time, until 2023, activities related to mining, the creation, acquisition and alienation of tokens are not taxed.
I could see the legalization and flexible taxation laws, which happens in a lot of countries including Japan, but to have NO tax on trading and mining and other stuff is really unexpected. looks like their government is not greedy! this would help increase the adoption of cryptocurrencies in this small country. but it also may help creation of a lot of ICOs since that is also legal and tax free, I just hope they don't abuse this and don't start creating lots of bullshit ICOs there!

That's a very uplifting news to say the least, knowing that most countries that were formerly associated with heavy bitcoin trades are now considering to ban the exchanges and the use of bitcoin all in all in their nation. South Korea is on the verge of banning everything bitcoin-related and that's already hurting the market before a decision is even made. This news helps somehow in a positive way though let's admit it, the press would only cover the negative things and would disregard positive things happening around bitcoin especially when it's crashing real hard. Way to go, Belarus! Hope they don't change their minds sooner.

This is a great news! Surely, when people hear about this news, it will attract more investors which will help the movement of the bitcoin's price in the market. We need more news like this, which install positive views towards bitcoin rather than FUDs which degrades and devalues bitcoin. Good work, Belarus!

This is good news for the existing investors as the price will rise and thus people can make huge profit by selling current bitcoins.

Some countries try to ban cryptocurrencies, others embrace them wholeheartedly. Hopefully as more time passes the former will decrease and the latter will increase.

This news is highly welcome by me and I'm sure by other BTC faithfulls. More countries need to adopt BTC as it is the way to go. We should all expect more countries to follow suit this year and beyond.

Belarus? Belarus?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_BelarusBelarus is probably the most fucked up place in Europe. Who can believe the people there could be free to use cryptos, when there is no freedom of the press, nor freedom of speech?

It is not a country with a big population {+/- 9,498,700} but it is a very good start. The GDP - $176 billion {2017} is also not very large, but if they replace their local currency {BYN} with Bitcoin, then it might have a significant impact. It is also a good tourist destination with all of those historic buildings and churches, but I do not know how stable their politics are with Russia.

As they say: just follow the money and magically the unexplicable becomes quite comprehensible.

That's really amazing... if it true. In this case I guess that a lot of people may decide to migrate there at some point... or perhaps they will be forced as the West cracks down on cryptos.

This is really a good news. It will encourage more people to invest in Bitcoins thus pumping the price.

Definitely good news, especially amidst so many negative news about the acceptance and legality of Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies (looking at you Asia). But i have to say, Belarus is a small country so I wouldn't be surprised to see this as a "marketing" plan to attract potential investors, as well as tourists, which is absolutely a smart move by the Belarus govt. I'm interested to see how this is going to impact the view on cryptocurrencies in Europe, hopefully it'll have a positive effect.
