WHAT IF the GOVERNMENT wins over BITCOIN?

[Tylev]

Regulation of circulation of crypto currency simultaneously with the decision of the issue of its legalization and definition of the status is inevitable. At the same time, the issue of taxation of the crypto currency will also be solved. Therefore, of course, it will be better to withdraw some of the earned funds from the crypto currency in fiat, in order to avoid taxation.
However, such regulation should not be feared. Without this, the crypto currency will not be able to develop further.

We find under a lot of pressure from the States.
You should always try to reach a point where you get a return on your investment. If the experiment fail or if governments otherwise.Governments have no interest in allowing people to freely dispose of their money. All of us are forcibly driven into the banks. Who doesn't have a Bank card now? After the appearance of bitcoin, people get out of control. This is the main reason that governments do not want to legalize cryptocurrencies. I also little by little put aside my income to invest with physical properties. Because as you say, no one knows what will happen in the future. We expect the best, for others also do not ignore about what our friends say above. We can earn only from the world of crypto, but do not get too fixated, we still have a real world that we must live.

we can not help prevent the government from dealing with the bitcoin field because of the amount it hits but still we still need to be positive about the things we do because bitcoin we hope so we should not let the government win if it is right let's get bitcoin so it's hard not to lose bitcoin because I believe it.

[mornabo]

If the government wins the bitcoin then the bitcoin may be less used. Bitcoin will not be the official currency for daily use as predicted by experts. In some countries like Vietnam the government recommends not to play bitcoin to avoid losing money.

I think the government has already won against cryptocurreny? there is no need to confirm that the government is a superpower who has anything to do, including banning bitcoin? the rules for bitcoin could be applied and bitcoin can not do anything? government won

[dryan0528]

No matter what the government will do, they cannot win over bitcoin because all of the transactions of bitcoin is through internet using blockchain technology. BTC will only be stopped if there is no internet in the whole world.

Be ready and aware that 2018 is the year of regulatory reckoning. Countries around the world are trying to determine how they are going to treat cryptocurrencies. Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) has halted several ICOs and hinted at the need for greater crypto regulation.

I am into cryptocurrency because of freedom, I can't deny to myself that I have worries regarding this issue. And as an investor, I really have no choice but to stay with crypto once the governments around the world have control to cryptocurrencies (if that became possible).

So as much as we can, also invest with physical properties with what you've earned. For we don't know what will happen next with our money in the digital world.

This is not an advice. It's simply a shared idea.

How about you? What do you have in mind?

For me if government takes over bitcoin then only the name is retained and everything else is change. It's essence will be lost and cryptocurrency will never be the same. No more freedom everything is controlled..

[cryptomite]

There are no doubts that if all countries manage to ban the bitcoin they will have benefits from it since this crypto currency is impossible to control.

Government is one of the biggest factors and enemy of bitcoin. Bitcoin is still afraid of government cause anytime government can interact bitcoin transactions all over the world. If the government create a cryptocurrency i dont support it cause i know they are just like whales they will manipulate the value of that token.

We all know that bitcoin receives the influence of policy regulation, and there are many such voices in the past year. I don't think that a country's government is better than bitcoin. Bitcoin is hard to cut off in the world's network circulation. If you are only a bitcoin holder, you don't have to worry about it, the biggest impact of the policy is the encrypted currency exchange.

Something that is very difficult to explain because Bitcoin is virtual money that can not be set by a manager.

I totally understand you, mate. But there is really nothing to think bad about. If the governments win over Bitcoin then Bitcoin will get banned in these governments' countries. If that happens, Bitcoin will not anymore be accepted by the government. But that is all there is of it. It does not mean that Bitcoin is already dead in these same countries. It does not even mean that the citizens of these countries who are solid supporters of Bitcoin will go away. Bitcoin is ever present even if it takes to go underground.

[lautantepi]

If the government can ban Bitcoin for Fiat transactions and vice versa, so in this case we will not be able to dilute Bitcoin or buy Bitcoin with fiat currency. However, even in that case, one can always send his Bitcoin funds in a legal state and sell them online, then receive payment in the form of fiat currency earned abroad.

[Altcoindealer]

This is true. In 2018 we can await a lot of new laws in a lot of country for cryptocurrencies. Im sure the regulation will start and hit us very hard. So just be prepared. There will be some gouverments who will start a real war against cryptocurrencies and will bann and forbidd them. But even when this happend, i dont think that any gouverment could win a fight against the cryptocurrency community. Because the most people are true believer and would not let them to hard rules and laws.

In your advice, i can only sense the spread of FUD.  It seems you want people to divert their investment attention more to physical properties than in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency because you think governments will win. The fact is, as much as there are some governments no supporting bitcoins, there are also some governments in support of bitcoin. Bitcoin is a revolutionary movement and for people to understand its concept fully and embrace it will take some time. It is always good to invest in bitcoin.

The Nobel prize-winning economist Robert Shiller has said bitcoin will not be a “permanent feature” of the financial world, as politicians indicated that a clampdown on cryptocurrencies was coming.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday, Shiller hailed bitcoin as a “really clever idea”. But although he was impressed with the technology behind it, he was concerned that it had “gone viral as a currency”.

“I tend to think of bitcoin as an experiment. It is an interesting experiment, but it’s not a permanent feature of our lives,” said Shiller, who has previously warned that the bitcoin price could collapse. “We are over-emphasising bitcoin, we should expand it out to blockchain, which will have other applications.”

they can not stem the crypto waves, this is part of the changes and technological developments
all they have to do is monitoring, filtering, and make regulations
they can not stop this waves

I think if government wins over bitcoin, bitcoin will gone because we all k ow that government hates bitcoin or treat it like a scam or gambling site. Government wins over bitcoin when bitcoin have a tax because we all know that the purpose of government is that.

[Clack hulk]

For me government won't win over bitcoin. Maybe they will add more taxes on the process of converting bitcoin to fiat but they can't replace it or totally ban it. If possible bitcoin ban in our country I will still earn and work bitcoin where the country legalized it.

[legenduim]

Government simply will not be able to stop bitcoin just like Internet or electricity. Rulers just need need more time to accept it and thereby improve the lives of many people.

[brengoskandel]

The government and the countries will never be able to stop the revolutionary technologies of blockchain, because these new technologies bring freedom, transparency and development for the society. Just some countries at first will be threatened by tight regulation of the cryptocurrency market, but then with the expiration of time they will understand that blockchain is more advanced and necessary technologies.
