Will the governments ban all privacy cryptocurrencies ?

[Jating]

I'm considering to buy and hold some privacy coins for long term. I read some articles and they said governments are taking harsh stances on privacy coins. Do you think they will ban all privacy cryptocurrencies by prohibiting exchanges to list those coins?

Good question. Right now it still hasn't attracted that much attention from the government because they are busy attacking bitcoin but I'm sure that it is already in their radar. But I'm sure that when privacy coins grow exponentially in the next 5 years, I'm sure that the government will target it because we all know what privacy coins is, to hide everything from the prying eyes of everyone including governments.

So I wouldn't be surprise will go after Monero or Zcash or any other privacy coins in the future. I don't know what steps they gonna take, but I'm sure it's more harsher than bitcoin, probably a ban, but I don't know if they can go as further as prohibiting exchanges. Its a free market, they might as well close those exchanges instead of prohibition, and it will be difficult for them to make them comply specially DEX.

Thet shouldnt because we are decentralized community and no one can dictate our market ,especially the use of these privacy coins how the heck thats going to happen? if they wanted to ban privacy coins they should banned the whol cryptocurrencies ! that is absurd action from the governent if they are really going to do that .

[cryptomarijuana]

They shouldnt be doing this because cryptocurrencies are created to have a total anonymity its the freedom of cryptocurrencies and we shouldnt be allowing these people or government to take that away because that is the main reason why bitcoin is created to remove the centralization and to have transact anonymously.

Governments are doing everything to end crypto privacy. I just hope they do not end the market and the dream of us small investors

[cryptocrocs]

We hope they wont,because if they did thats just the start of more bans! we shouldnt be allowing these people to restrict any of the cryptocurrencies because we are a decentralized community these are decentralized currencies which they arent allowed to control ! no one should control any of these currencies because thee are created to give us anonymity.

Why do you consider yourself as a "small" investor?

I think that we all know that cryptos are something very useful, but they are not just an investment, most of those privacy coins are very useful after all.

[cryptocue]

Hope not because it could be the reason why most of the cryptocurrencies will ba banned,if we allow this to happen these government will control our community that i why we shouldnt be allowing this to happen! cryptocurrencies are decentralized currencies which no one should control it,thats purely centralization all over again!

[efodix]

I suppose governments will always try to regulate cryptocurrencies and as they also want to have their piece of pie from taxes.

I dont think they will succeed in killing privacy coin.Privacy coins are designed in the first instance to remove transactions from the prying eyes of government.And they decide to ban exchanges from listing them,it will only spur more interest in the coins,moreover,Government cannot control all exchanges across different countries.And even if they do,their are a lot of decentralized exchanges where people can easily convert privacy coins to other coin.It will be a futile effort and a sinister one at that.The surge in price in privacy coins is just an indication that a lot of interest lies there since bitcoins are now pseudo anonymous

I hope not because it could be the reason why most of these people will try to control the cryptocurrencies,our community will put  a risk into such regulations or restriction,these are privacy coins and created to have a total anonymity.They shouldnt be regualated because cryptocurrencies are created to give us freedom to transact.

[cryptospear]

If these privacy coins will be regulated by the government it could be the reason why most of these currencies will collapse,privacy coins are created specific to give us pure anonimity when transacting online its our freedom and freedom of all the cryptocurrencies if they want these currencies to be removed they should removed all of the cryptocurrencies.

[sycaburatan]

They shouldnt because these are cryptocurrencies,and they are created to give us total anonymity when transacting online,if they are going to banned these privacy coin the cryptocurrencies will start to be regulated and we shouldnt be allowing these things to happen.It will be the start of the fall of the cryptocurrencies which aimed to have anonimity and decentralization.

[cryptoprophecy]

They wont,becase if they will ban these privacy coins the next one would be all the cryptocurrencies ! we shouldnt be allowing these people to control the our community because we are decentralized community,these privacy coins are created to give us anonimity it is what they are created for and they shouldnt take this away from us ,satoshi will be much disappointed!

They government are trying their efforts to implement the rules and regulations in cryptocurrencies because in the eyes of the government privacy coin like monero and decentralized coins like bitcoin could be used in illegal activities like money laundering, buying drugs and illegal firearms or could finance terrorists so, the government ordered the exchanges to implement identity verifications in order to make a withdrawals.

Many countries are doing it already but there are few also who have legalize it. Goodluck to your journey and may you become successful.

depends on the government you are talking, if first and foremost that country is not crypto-friendly even if it is a privacy type or not they can simply impose ban trading of those coins, privacy coins has a lot of potential because of its demand so don't get scared investing on those, you don't earn if you don't take the risk.

Even if they ban, you can earn your profits, convert to blockchain explorable coins and convert to FIAT.

They would ban this because they can't figure out who owns them and whats the blockchain log. So they won't be able to track you as well.

IMHO Privacy coins have a huge advantage over others.

I think if governments would like to bun crypto they already done it. Now they want to get income from taxes on it.

[JustBetweenUs]

I think if the goverment ban any cryptocurrency they will pick certain ones like Monero that are well known and used widely. As an effect users would move to another privacy coin that might eventually be banned and then the story repeats itself again. You can see this happening in the war against designer drugs. It would be too difficult to ban a certain category in a market that is understood by very few people.

I think it's impossible for everyone to BAN privacy crypto because they are decentralizated.... they can only eventually not allowing exchanges to do pairs with FIAT money but this is not a problem...
