regulation n altcoins' future?

[Ethersocial]

I believe that recently there are so many altcoins all over the world, they have their own role. In the future, people can use them in real life I think.

However, many countries try to regulate cryptocurrency market today.

Especially, some countries heavily force the market, such as a lot of taxes and shutdown exchanges.

How about effects of these regulations on altcoins' future?

It seems not that good in a short term. How about in a long term?

It's all a very complicated thing. There is no doubt that governments will be trying to prevent of crypto revolution because it threatens to their power. I believe that due to their efforts many projects will die. But the only who survive will become a real leader in the industry.

Now that India, Korea and China has banned cryptocurrencies does not mean that there will be no more future for crypto. I think in 2019 more countries will follow their trend and bann crypto but has a promosing bullish market. And it will probably end this month very soon.

I would like to correct you at one point that only China is fully banning Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as of today. South Korea isn't banning cryptocurrencies, only anonymous trading, minors and foreigners in that country cannot participate in cryptocurrency trading. As for India, yes they are not classifying cryptocurrencies as legal tender, but the ban is not in full effect yet. It only creates FUD everywhere, but now Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are soaring again towards $9k.

Maybe after Chinese New Year, it will surge back to more than $10k. US regulators will resume their positive talks to the Senate, SEC and CTFC. The most important thing is that they are not laying the axe on Bitcoin and other cryptos.

Regulation of the crypto market is perhaps the main risk for the crypto market today. Governments of different countries want to control the crypto currency - this is natural. They always try to control everything, so as not to lose their power and power. In this situation, the strongest coins and projects will survive!

[roblccx]

I think each gov can regulate crypto businesses in their jurisdiction and thats not a bad thing

But one gov can't easily regulate decentralised projects or bitcoin, just the use in that country but banning it is not the way forward and will backfire on the gov

[Ethersocial]

yeah...I'm just worried that regulations in specific countries affect world crypto market lol

[Mohamme]

Each country's regulatory policy do to a large impact on cryptocurrency market, especially altcoin, because many altcoin and no real value, is just a hype, then each country will not allow the existence of altcoin, so their price will fall sharply.

if in my opinion it will not end in this month, because only the country of India, Korea and China only, and there are still many positive news and legalize cryptocurrencys

I agree with you, regulation is the biggest thread for crypto's. If more countries follow China, than I don't think that even bitcoin will still have a future...

[george_hured]

If you notice that already now governments of different countries are trying to develop all sorts of laws that will prohibit the use of certain coins, in general they will prohibit the use of crypto-currencies

Although I'm against regulation for crypto. I want the SEC and compliance gov bodies to regulate pump and dump of coins.

This is something which has to be curtailed. There was a time when I believed pumps could be beneficial but now I know, its only loss for the less crypto literate people, who get cursed in form of pumps & dump groups.

Agree. There should be a bare minimum regulation law to restrict scam ICO, or any pump and dump coin or coin try to pull an exit scheme.

So you're saying that future of crypto lays behind massive regulatory-wall?
Unfortunately I got a feeling this going to be the case. Governments have huge appetite for our privacy.
Day by day some small freedoms are being taken away from us, how long before we realise that we are owned by some sort of master-race?
Its hard to call people to start mutiny, if this process is being rolled out with small steps. Eventually they will come after cryptocurrency, under some ridiculous pretext, like war on drugs or terror. Goal it to establish their own, centralized, fully controlled chains.
We should be against and we will be but what about "grey masses"? That's why broad acceptance is important. More people with wallets the less chance "they" will succeed. Protect all crypto freedoms!

[AlexaSonda]

I think in the long run there will be a major change, in which all societies feel the true benefits of crypto and the government will open eyes to this.

The only way to regulate the altcoin market is regulation through exchanges, but I doubt that any regulator will be able to agree with all exchanges ...

[Don Stefanello]

It definately is very much complicated, on one hand a lot of countries try to regulate the market as they could take a lions share of it, others are sceptical about the future of crypto, and then there are countries that go full on and build mining fascilities and put all the money into their country growth, its crazy world out there, we are yet to see where this takes us

[coinsontheroad]

Despite crypto bans on exchange trading like in China, as long as people have access to the internet, they have access to a wallet. I'm sure people will find a way around this regulation. Perhaps through actually meeting in person to make the exchange wallet to wallet.

How are they going to regulate the pumping and dumping?
Stockmarket had always been regulated but the pumping and dumping of stakes are already going on, the government can't do anything about it when someone richer like whales attempts to do it. Pumping is a regular thing to do for them, there is no law that can consider them as criminal if they do so.

I can tell you how, because my government have actually just done that 
They commenced that when you trade one coin for another, you have to include this transaction in your tax return declaration.
Coin that was traded, is treated as cost of transaction and the coin bought is the income. All value conversion must be timestamped according to value at the time of the trade. While cashing out to fiat all the taxation must be repeated accordingly 
Now for the best part, they have no actual tools to investigate whenever you are declaring the truth  how stupid is that?
We can't check but we require this and that... dead law, a dud.
However, when you are legally registered as a trader or as an exchange... above applies and have to be done, or else 75% of your profits will be confiscated. So as you can see the "professional" market is regulated, personal is as well but like I said with a dud.
