Will regulation kill cryptos?

[Joushi]

 Regulators want to make sure they protect investors from scams, while at the same time allowing the industry to develop and deploy the new technology in interesting ways. Overregulation could move the action elsewhere, which is what happened in China.

To a substantial level, China and all the countries by imposing regulations on cryptocurrencies are hindering its growth in a huge way. All these attempts have left the crypto market crippled over the last year and it only gets worse as time passes with more counties inclined towards the same stance.

[craZyLovE0916]

Not at all. contruary to popular opinion, regulation will actually do more good than harm to the market, with regulations, we wouldn't have to bother about just a couple of people swaying the entire market in their favor and screwing over everyone else because they happen to have a large amount of coins in their possession. It will help keep the market and traders in check.

[Direwolve735]

I do not think that regulation will kill the crypto currencies. In operations with digital currencies there are many "dark" moments, it is necessary to prevent their use for money laundering and terrorist financing. Therefore, this is an area where international regulation and proper oversight are necessary. I believe that the global regulation of crypto-currency is inevitable. But the regulating authorities should first of all focus not on legal entities, but on individual operations with the crypto currency and the persons who conduct them.

To my mind regulation will help crypto to explode and go to the next level. Because with regulation in place people will trust it as goverments are giving the green light to this crypto money. So far China has the biggest regulation in place from my knowledge which shows us that they are trying to be ahead of time and ahead of other countries, their regulation is mainly around ICOs as you say regulation by it's own could potentially stop scams but scams will still exist in this field because you have many people that don't understand and know what they are doing and who don't know that refunds are impossible.

[idgaf007]

It will depend but I think generally it will not kill crypto it can produce a bear move because of uncertainty in what is going to happen but in the long term regulations could cause a positive sentiment in the market because it can boost trust in using cryptocurrencies in the future.

actually regulation will do exactly the opposite and will help crypto to reach masses. When people are not sure about the new technology and it's not being regulated, they're scared. Once it will get approved, it will grow so much!

I actually think otherwise, to me if regulations will push theough then I think that cryptocurrency will be more alive than ever. If you think about it, a lot of the mahor cou tries reason on why they are banning or forbidding bitcoin and the whole of the cryptocurrency market is because they fear that it is uncontrolable and that it might incite ir ifnite some bad consequences. However if regulations can be made then i think they’ll be able to welcome and reconsider it with open arms

Regulation are create the sudden issues but it is not kill the Cryptocurrency. Actually some countries economic status is not supporting to legalisation of cryptocurrency so they fix the rules in Cryptocurrency. This is good for the peoples so we should appreciate the regulation because it is not a permanent regulation again some changes are possible.

[boboking]

Regulation will kill crypto? I do not think so. Yes there is a lot of doubt if regulation will eventually kill crypto but i think it will just end shit coins. I hope that they focus first in ico where there is a lot of scammers.

[emuLOADs_temp]

Regulation will go a long way to flushing out those absurd anarco-libertarians who plague the bitcoin echosystem. Sure, regulation will hinder some things here and there--after all there is no such thing as perfect regulation--but if Bitcoin and crypto is to die, it won't be due to regulation but despite it.

Regulation, when done well, is what makes things sustainable.

[5hoursaday]

Maybe not. I mean we are all tired of watching the market go down in prices and value just because one person decides to dump their coins so with regulation that would happen less.

Regulations will limit the cryptocurrencies and make it harder for them to shine but over all it wont kill them. Certain regulations need to be introduced so we can use cryptocurrencies safely and effectively so in ways, regulations with help them boom. Obviously over-regulating, like in China, will have a negative impact but no enough to stop them from succeeding. It looks like as time goes on, regulations will adapt to allow cryptocurrencies to strive. Governments are making harsh regulations now which are likely to ease up once people learn more about crypto.

I agree with you, there is a regulation to prevent crime, especially money laundering,
I think as long as the regulators are consistent and professional, impartial to anyone, the regulation will not kill crypto.
as we know the crypto currency itself is a frightening specter of the conventional currency, especially the conventional money providers, in this case do not let the regulatory government only partially to one side only, even if any money crypto very helpful transactions in various things especially the problem of speed of time, and not the existence of state or continental boundaries, in conclusion I think good regulation during the run with a professional.

You can't completely kill all cryptos, even if all governments in the world will ban cryptos, ICO's and tokens, some people will continue being involved, because it's part of the Internet now, and you can't stop the Internet. In my opinion, the interest in blockchain will be declining and people see that there's very few working applications out of thousands of "promising" projects, but this is good for real working coins like Bitcoin, because enthusiasts will return their attention back to them.

[micheal wang]

I think is not, regulation cannot make cryptocurrency die. Cryptocurrency base on internet, with internet we can do anything though government ban cryptocurrency. Like a porn site, in a several country including my country ban all site about porn. But in the fact we can see porn with another way. So, the government ban cryptocurrency it's not mean the user cryptocurrency didn't have to acces site cryptocurrency, the user will find another way to acces cryptocurrency. But the regulation just make price cryptocurrency down, because the user will panic and take safe a money until the price lower they will buy again.

Yes I totally agree with you they not completely killed all crypto and i don't think it's possible that all government will ban cryptos because it's very useful to many countries.

[Pursuer]

yeah well it is a new technology and a new field to regulate so it is somewhat understandable to sometimes see some unreasonable regulations in effect in some places but eventually and hopefully there will be corrections in the system which makes things more reasonable and friendly.
additionally there are a lot of different countries each of which have a very different opinion towards cryptocurrencies so it is hard to expect a similar attitude towards them at the same time. some are even scared of bitcoin because it has been messing with their corrupted economy by providing people with an option to exit that economy!

[amishmanish]

Regulations are the goverment's perogative and right now, these will have to be accepted as facts of life.

Those who have the purely libertarian viewpoint want to live in countries which leave crytpos fully unregulated. There have even been proposals to build seasteads where normal jurisdictions won't apply. This is quite fascinating but not practical for everybody, as of now.

So we have to sit back and look for the possible regulations:

1. First will be the requirement to have full KYC when dealing with crypto.
2. There maybe some sort of taxation built into the system, which normal users already pay as a service tax.
3. ICO regulation and audit can be a big area of improvement, if the ICO craze has to actually be of any value.

These regulations should serve to make market safer for the average investors. The biggest problem will be maintaining a balance between privacy and law-enforcement. This is the trickiest bit of the problem.

One thing is sure that it can't be regulated out of existence. If such a thing happens, it'll just move into the background again. People will move to friendlier countries and we can have a division of the camps that support it vs the non-supporters.
Fiat vs Bitcoin may well be the 21st century equivalent of the Socialist-Capitalist economy divide.

[metenjean]

Its understandable but also required if crypto especially bitcoin want to be accepted as a digital payment or more like an asset by whole. Since there are no regulation about crypto, people create ICOs and more are popping everyday which used to scammed people. Regulation created to counter these so in the end there will be only one absolute coin which is Bitcoin to become acknowledge by the government. It hurt the price at first but it has a better prospect for the future development.

What do you think?

There is a big possibility that if the cryptocurrencies are regulated its essence will be gone because surely they will do their best to take control and tax it higher.😑

[buburjelly]

We must first see what the regulation is made, does the regulation really freeze the transaction process from crypto? If so, crypto will die. But, I do not think all countries will do regulation that can kill crypto because one country can accept crypto will survive even though dominated by regulation from a various country about crypto.

[akmittal]

Regulation will not kill cryptos. It can only kill the frauds and spams which are surviving only in absence of regulatory. But regulations should not be imposed by the individual country. A separately international recognized body should be there to regulate the crypto similar to International Monetary Foundation.

[Kokondao]

Rules will not kill bitcoin, if the rules are good and side with the user I think it will increase the bitcoin strength going forward.

[pekcoin01]

Of course he will. This rapid rise of Bitcoin was stopped by many governments.
People are using coin because of commissions and taxes. For this reason, the banks are very opposed to this market.

The very essence of cryptocurrency is deregulation. Any form of regulation is against the very fabric of deregulation hence cryptocurrency. It is a good thing to think the regulators are protecting against fraud and scam, but hey, they have not successfully protected these guys from defrauding and scamming users of fiat currency. Just think about that!

[troglobait]

I do not think that at least something can kill the Crypt. But to influence the course completely. this market is already giving out, good news!

[mahimonliner]

Regulations will harm the growth of crypto currencies. Its the other way by the governments to stop crypto currencies.
Crypto needs no governments to be regulate.

if regulation makes investors feel safe and comfortable in investing it may be a fresh breeze for investors and chances are one day bitcoin will be growing and more successful

[sarajahon]

Not exactly!
It is unpredictable to say what might be the future of Cryptos after regulation.

[filtyfrank251]

I do not think so. Because the regulations are designed to help the cryptocurrency market grow and in order, avoid possible risks. A good market requires good measures and rules to help investors trust and participate in it. This is what countries are doing so the cryptocurrency market is growing.

[cryptofeel]

Regulations in itself are meant to protect and aid us from destroying the community. However, these regulations must be borne out of fairness and equality such that the system may be sustained for the good will of all.

[sate_padang]

To kill the crypto I do not think it's easy, and if you want to use advanced technology and benefit many people, that's great to do.

We should change the way we percieved regulations. It doesnt kill cryptocurrency, its making us safe. Although it has been misunderstood as a threat because it may somehow affect the prices in the market. In general its for the sake of those who invest.
In contrary with that, Everyone knows that Bitcoin as the mother of all cryptocurrencies has been made not to be regulated or controlled by the government due to its decentralized feature, but changes is constant. We never know, will it ever make a progressive changes or not.

[CoinboyBebop]

It depends on who regulate cryptocurrencies. They are many cryptocurrency friendly countrys here on this planet. So those gouverments will make cryptofriendly laws. But there are also other gouverments wh dont understand what cryptocurrencies are and how they work. Those country will regulate very hard. The best example is poland. They made some new rules about cryptos, which you have to pay taxes for the time since bitcoin exist, so you have to pay for the past. So if you own cryptos for fifteenthousand, you can pay a half million of taxes

As far as i know,being regulated country in terms of digital currency is not killing  the  cryptos investment instead it will promote a capitalism of the country  by providing an economic growth and social  responsibility,so therefore for being an regulated countries its a big advantage and oppurtunities to have this kind of own virtual currency technology,because its will provide a good status of the economy of the country.

As you said if a country is trying to over regulate a new technology then it can't grow as its full potential,so regulate it with appropriate requirements other than the high taxes.And if more and more country keep doing this then it may kill the cryptos.

[skyline247]

On the contrary, regulations might just be the thing that cryptos need. The market now is very easy manipulated by whales and anyone who has enough money and enough coins in their possession but with regulations and trading rules, the market will be harder to manipulate and people would not be able to sway the market in their favor at will.

[Baimovic]

I think crypto regulation will not kill crypto, and even I see crypto regulation has much positive value.

our source of income is from investors if investors are not given security, and when they suffer losses or fraud, there will be no more investors willing to invest.

like happened with ICO Centra, which is considered has committed scam, and finally, ICO centra founder was arrested by security.

which occurs in China is a small incident that can not be used as a basis for banning crypto regulation.

[Btcalimie]

I don't think so. Those who already invested will not pull out their investment because of regulations which is set by the government.

[Gameroid]

Regulation is currently creating problem, but i think that in future when all the countries will regulate bitcoin in their country, then it will surely be very good for the future of bitcoin, in fact all the people will then become more confident and will surely  invest more money in bitcoin. I think bitcoin regularity will be too good for the future of bitcoin.

[data_teks]

Some governments prohibit bitcoin and all cryptos, but in this case all the users and holders could find possibility to enter their web wallets and use it further.

[exalterego]

It all depends on the extent of regulation.
Certainly, there should be clear rules to be obeyed by all the participants of the system (no fraud, no financing of terrorism, fair prices and conditions of buying/selling).
On the other hand, if there is too much regulation, the market and the crypto system itself cannot evolve in its natural way which leads to its dying.

[dogandogru]

I don’t think so regulation will kill cryptocurrencies. The regulations are being done to prevent the money laundering and terrorist activities or other scams. Without regulation a person, who bears huge amount of loss due to scammers, cannot seek legal justice and therefore cannot get his money back.

[Msile]

I dont think if regulations will kill cryptos. come to think of it if crypto is regulated, it means its legalized, when its legal , that means everyone wll be free to use it, thereby attracting more users and more value, regulation cannot be totally bad

[brampower]

I am not sure how these regulations will reflect in the future, i agree that there are many scams in this market but will the regulations could end these, may be a regulation on new ICO might give good results and that is the only regulation i need to see implemented in this market, other than that we need to have a free market.

What do you think?

regulation could be extremly gay and evil,

like in germany for example

a license to run a bank costs 1 million euro

only rich and old established germans can own one. all others are their idiots. they abuse that system to enrich themselves but they keep it open for rich foreigners so they can anytime buy a license and co abuse the german poplation with the german elites, as otherwise they would get hostilities with them.

nevertheless people will either desire regulations or they will ask/use cryptocurrency filters to avoid accepting cryptocurrencies that dont help them or dont pursue their interest.

[SolutionBase]

They could definitely kill it. In most cases, I don't believe it would be in the form of "outlawing" crypto, or anything that overtly dramatic, instead it would be something like banning/closing exchanges, or banning banks from receiving fiat from exchanges. They might do this kind of thing to prevent capital flight during a crisis, if that capital flight took the form of people bailing in mass on their countries' currency (think Venezuela if the people had more agency). Regardless of why they did it, this would effectively collapse the price, especially if enough major governments did so.

they cant outlaw crypto because what they are then going to build is basically banks run by regional gays, (gay germans in deutsche bank) gay new yorkers in moodies

gay chinese in bank of china etc. opening large scale abuse for those respective social prisons, gay jews in israel....

thats the problem with regional statism in general its the gays in the financial system. they force all migrants to sell their time thats why there is conflict with them

they then are seeking to define regional rules, like some bridge trolls to decrease freedom for others.

thats why cryptos will continue to run it gives opportuntity to gain capitalism if you dont feel yourselves identifiing with the communist banksters, the technology that is used, gives freedom to operate globally, independent from the communist.

i its likely that these communists will end up as local gangsters trying to imprison all at the expense of others in their "financial" cartels.

thats everything they have to protect the value of their currencies. and thats the threat comming from them, that and constant insults on others, who dont fit into their agenda.

[Easteregg69]

Since its not dead its safe to consider it immortal. As intended. Build to withstand worst imaginable 80's scenarios. Could be China syndrome or even the Stockholm syndrome.

I would like to represent Norway on that matter.. Just kidding.

[jpespa]

it depends on how regulations were made. as long as it doesn't somehow compromise the essence of bitcoin it can become effective. Some countries have even imposed tax on bitcoin but I think it is going good because of proper imposition of law.

[dollarneed]

regulation is basically contrary to the concept which proposed by satoshi yup the decentralized nature. Will regulation kill crypto? I don't think so, but it might inhibit the growth and development of the crypto itself. Many people out there complain about the regulations imposed by their government, and even there was an exchange that had to move their headquarters to another country due to the regulation of their government, there's always pros and cons if we talk about this issue.

[Vladv26]

I dont think regulation is enough to kill cryptos. The only thing regulations will do to cryptos is that they are going to get their price down and that is very satisfying for governments because if the price falls a lot of people will start selling their coins and stop using bitcoin. If governments want to take down cryptos they are going to make that,doesnt matter what they have to do. I dont doubt any second that they can do that because they are the most powerful thing in a country. People could be much stronger than governments but they are weak and dont think clear.

[marabanda]

Most likely not, because progress can only be slowed down, but it can not be avoided, which in this situation should only please. In fact, this will happen, many people, especially the government wants to continue in the world was the old economy, but bitcoin very much hampered this ... that's trying to regulate as they can.

[onurgozupek]

To be clear no government can regulate crypto currencies but crypto exchanges. It's possible to see exchanges have strict rules, limitations etc (like in US) but they will not stop exchanging crypto currencies. People will always find a way to exchange crypto currencies. If all countries have the similar rules, then we might see Silk Road 2.0

[Slow death]

Regulators want to make sure they protect investors from scams

in honest government that would be the main concern, but for many governments this is a political threat, they are not concerned about their citizens, they are concerned about their own power that can be threatened
imagine a poor farmer, invest $ 1000 and in one year make a profit of $17000 and that same farmer expand his business, in the time of campaign the government comes to do politics, but this time finds all the people of the village well in life, you must already imagine that the government will no longer have to make false promises because it is easier to deceive the hungry people than to deceive a people with a full belly.

What do you think?

the regulations help us

[darkangel11]

Regulators want to make sure they protect investors from scams,

That's what they want you to think. They offer no real protection and their regulation comes at a price. Government's aren't a charity. They aren't doing anything to make your life easier. They are doing it so that they can control you, and most importantly profit from new business deals.
They can start selling worthless licenses at high prices and make money this way, at the same time posing as the saviors and protectors. Same shit, new wrap.

[Umar001]

Government can't can't be the regulator of crytocurrency, bitcoin has the decentralized system, which can't be control by any government authority, try to control crytocurrency is the beginning of end of bitcoin.

[Nekrasova]

Don't think so. Relegations can be not harm.

[Gabb]

I believe that an eventual regularization of the crypto market would have many advantages and benefits, as long as it leaves enough space for this field of digital technology to develop and fulfill its primary purposes of decentralization and anonymity; However, I believe that there will always be severe setbacks to harmonize in a convenient way the interests of the central governments and financial authorities, on the one hand, and that of the users and developers of cryptocurrencies, on the other.

[Bardock26]

You can not kill him, we know that this is a form of free trade, so you will always find ways to circumvent such restrictions and in addition to that ... In the case of companies or large corporations that do not allow it they will end up making a transfer to Japan surely.

[DAVETUN]

Regulation will enhance the growth of cryptocurrency and  not  kill it, it will drastically reduce the number of scam cases in the space, Viable ICO willl be develop, With regulation in the space you can be sure your investment is secure.

[jpaul]

Depends with the kind of regulations in play, some might be too harsh for crypto to take, while others can work to  it's advantage. If its banned then it will be unfortunate, if its regulation that will see crypto legalized then it may work to its advantage as more investors will come on board

[RondoAnyar]

I see though the government implements the regulation for crypto but if it has to kill the crypto it will not happen and that is just rule. government is not the creator of bitcoin so nobody can kill bitcoin.

[300pips]

At some point it will make the crypto price lower but it will make the crypto stronger and reliable.  It will lessen the mafia and scam activities, this is for good. Just think of the good side.

cryptos are products of a high technology. no one can stop technologies, precisely technologies support laws. this means no one can kill cryptos except technologies itself. survival cryptos depend on the development of its technology.

[Doge dealer]

I am very concerned how easy it is for some one to set up a fake ico scamming millions from unsuspecting persons and there is no authority or institution that you can check with to verify the authenticity said ico , will regulation kill cryptos ? i think it will at first result in  a decline but very soon after that decline confidence in the market will return as persons now feel safer , and im sure people are more likely to make larger investments in the industry if they feel safer when they are doing these investments, the average man isn't overly concerned about regulations infact i think he will welcome this move .

[jhonvir666]

   I have long been in bitcoin and of course before I enter it in bitcoin I first informed the regulation here about a cryptocurrencies knowing my regulation to shut down crypto is not in a bitcoin rules .. because the crypto is a good profits bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that people are aware of are currencies that are inivetable and necessary for those preventing it and cryptocurrency is not illegal entities and digital currency in all countries.

[BlackPanda]

Supposedly a regulation will make the crypto stronger, yes when the regulation supports the development of crypto. While when a regulation inhibits crypto it will only worsen the state and destroy the crypto world. Until now we are all still trying to make the crypto market getting better and try to convince the government that crypto is a medium of financial transaction that is suitable to be used, especially in the future we will face increasing technological progress.

[maimainguyen05]

I think that the cryptocurrencies market, especially the ICO, should have an adjustment to control that ICOs must meet the criteria to release Token to the market. Because now there are many fraudulent ICO was launched only to raise funds of investors then disappeared. Therefore, the regulation of organizations and communities to avoid risk for investors when investing in ICO.

[PonyBoy]

I don’t think that any possible regulation and coordination could harm bitcoin so much that it won’t exist anymore.  Undoubtedly it will slow down bitcoin development.

[beej]

It won't but it will change a few things with cryptocurrency for sure, I believe it's the missing
piece to make crypto more legit and proficiently resplendent with governments and other
authorities. Regulation may take away or replace certain privileges or aspects that
cryptocurrencies enjoy and exploit at the moment, with that out of the way cryptocurrency
could move further in the business mainstream and supersede in the financial market.
Regulation is inevitable with crypto, it may take some time but it will make lasting positive
changes in the field of cryptocurrency.

[Similificator]

Regulators want to make sure they protect investors from scams, while at the same time allowing the industry to develop and deploy the new technology in interesting ways. Overregulation could move the action elsewhere, which is what happened in China.

It’s too early to tell who's doing the best job of setting the rules. Nations are taking various tasks.

What do you think?

Well obviously, everything that is too much can only be bad or cause bad. If you ask me, I would really agree with regulation because besides the fact that it can protect a lot of investors and lessen all the scam coins out there, it is the only way we can go to be able to reach a scenario where there is already mass adoption happening. But if regulated in a wrong way that takes advantage of the crypto people, then that would be really bad and might do the opposite than the increase of demand.

[Arkham Knight]

In my opinion, regulations are much more helpful because they are filtering the bad ones and showcase the good ones. Regulations will make people understand that cryptocurrencies are not all about drugs and hacks like they always used to think.

[blueteam09]

At the moment, the rules are making Crypto more difficult now, but looking at the future regulations will help Crypto have more advantages and protect the interests of all investors. It will be a prerequisite for investors to believe in it and to help it grow.

[usekevin]

For everything ,their will be advantage and disadvantages.The main advantages over regulation of crypto currency by government.It will avoid the fake coins.And prevent the people to inverse in fakecoin and their money.By this the investors in trusted coin like bitcoin will increase.It automatically inrease the value.And regulation will not kill the trusted cryptocurrency.

Yes it can kill cryptocurrency but since there are a lot of companies today who are running cryptocurrency business on different countries then there might be an exception for every regulations in the country.

[loismanny88]

Absolutely not. Regulation may seem like it's killing crypto right now, but it will increase mass adoption in the long run, which is the only way crypto becomes currency of the future. Without mass adoption by average folks it will become just a fad.

[Windybi]

I think this is good. For now, I'm seeing too many fraudulent projects, and it has taken me a long time to select good ICO projects to invest in. And if we have regulations in this market, the value of the market will be increased because everyone's trust has.

[kingcrypto-the2nd]

nope regulations all not kill crypto,regulations are in place to protect the community  regulations signals acceptance from government.

[maman567]

Regulation needed in crypto system where to protect the investor form loss their money in investing crypto, we know many ico everyday and we don’t know is great or scam ico. So this why we need regulation for protect the investor from fake and scam ico. But it nothing happen to bitcoin or crypto, by running regulation it will be make bitcoin save and regulation not destroy bitcoin price and altcoin too.

[rolerVX]

No matter how regulations strict scammers can do another way to enter in crypto to scam. No one can stop scammers because they can do much things to handle every single details. Even though regulations can help better things still it can be counterfeit by others.

[lucy94]

depends what kind of regulations we are talking about.

[Bohxz M4p4gm4h4l25]

Maybe not. I mean we are all tired of watching the market go down in prices and value just because one person decides to dump their coins so with regulation that would happen less.

I bet that has a point, and for me regulations is not the one that will end this platform, people who use this currency to fool people to invest in them and to take away the people's money will end this. Reputation is a must, and since Bitcoin is under observation of the most countries nowadays, they should not have any reason to doubt it, this currency must be perfect,  and the news nowadays may affect so much.

[daenarys_stormborn]

I think the crypto regulation has a positive impact, but at the very beginning the market price will be drastically collapsed, because people are still in a state of fear and disbelief, then after a good run, then people realize that crypto is regulated and trusted daring to buy

[megynacuna]

I think the crypto regulation has a positive impact, but at the very beginning the market price will be drastically collapsed, because people are still in a state of fear and disbelief, then after a good run, then people realize that crypto is regulated and trusted daring to buy

Whichever form the regulation might take it is going to be government biased and that immediately takes away the independence and freedom of cryptocurrencies in general. Since it's going to inure to the benefit of the governments and financial institutions it could lead to the collapse of cryptocurrencies or bitcoin in the long run because of potential centralization.

[vergel24official]

So what I've been wondering about, without having fiat on the exchanges, how can you layer automatic buys?  Is there a way to set up limit buys directly from a checking account?  I'm assuming you basically can't, but just checking in case I'm missing something.

[3angel84]

Regulation does not mean killing or corrupting cryptos,it is a deeper sense in which cryptos will be enacted by some rules base on the countries law making bodies,so,if this will happen,no such thing as cryptos killing,cryptos will never died as long as investors and product will always be there bringing it in to pedestal, don't lose hope,keep on believing cause sooner cryptos will change the world for a better.

[Dreamchaser21]

I think the crypto regulation has a positive impact, but at the very beginning the market price will be drastically collapsed, because people are still in a state of fear and disbelief, then after a good run, then people realize that crypto is regulated and trusted daring to buy

Regulations will not ruin cryptocurrency in the long run, people will react in short term for sure but again we must always look in long term. I just hope that regulations will be good for both parties so everyone can still enjoy the benefits of a decentralized market.

What do you think?

Short answer: No
Long answer: Possibly in the future

Think of it this way, other investment mechanisms are controlled and regulated, such as:

• BANKS - The central bank of each country regulates banks in order to control inflation or support financially the society in terms of loans;
• GOLDS - The World Gold Council has been supporting and developing techniques in order to sustain the demand on gold bars across the world;
• STOCKS - Stocks are controlled by the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to prevent corporations abusing their prices and the market; and
• REAL ESTATE - Lands are mainly regulated and controlled by the government through their various departments or bureaus.

The bottomline is, most of their prices are controlled and stable due to the regulation of each department per investment mechanism. Though the intervention has caused positive impacts for security and collateral, most of these investments target the long-term aspect in yielding income.
Unlike cryptocurrencies, no regulation has been existing despite the government making rules and laws for its prohibition. People mainly invest into bitcoin due to its volatile nature which may yield an individual income for short-term compared to the others.

[zhea]

No their intention is to protect crypto users not to kill it. I think this is a good idea to regulate cryptos so as to discipline users as well as to protect them. Don't lose hope just continue to do what you are doing because this will not harm us they are just trying to impose regulations to be obeserve by crypto users.

[warning_btc]

Regulation kill big fluctations and we dont seen more mad multiples on this market.
Half of speculative players gone this market after

[AliMan]

Regulation kill big fluctations and we dont seen more mad multiples on this market.
Half of speculative players gone this market after

I don’t think that regulating bitcoins will kill cryptocurrency. Actually, it may help bitcoin to build more a good reputation to people because regulators will make digital coin a more systematic system just like our currency today. Maybe bitcoin regulatiors make cryptos ready to be used by all by implementing it as a financial system of the world. But I cannot guarantee that there will be no disadvantages that will happen once bitcoin will be regulated.

[linshisui38]

I don't think regulation will kill cryptocurrencies, and there are many "dark" moments in digital currency operations, a field that requires proper oversight. Legal regulation will bring more investors to the encryption market.

[longwintershere]

What do you think?

I'm happy to see regulators preparing the crypto industry for necessary regulations to come. It can only help us investors and cryptocurrency users to prevent us from scam ICOs etc..

[cunguks]

I recognize that the regulation of each country that applies bitcoin will vary. What matters is what the global regulation will be like. Because this regulation will thoroughly encompass the rules of cryptocurrency for the whole world. Because the rules are not always fair, it can cause inequality in the distribution of coins. And it will affect the market as well.

[baconlike]

I do not think the rules will kill Crypto. I think the rules only make the Crypto market more legal, but perhaps due to the regulations altcoin prices in recent times have not increased.

[troglobait]

I do not think that regulation can kill the market. But it can strongly influence the market rate, through negative news. In the worst case, there will be panic selling

[Adamant06]

I do not think that regulation can kill the market. But it can strongly influence the market rate, through negative news. In the worst case, there will be panic selling

For that I do agree, it.may affect the market value when crypto will be regulated. However, if it cause on panic selling then the regulator must be aware of it and find an alternative way to prevent it or make not too much risk.

[Arwinkim]

Actually Bitcoin needs regulation. Why? Regulation is extremely important to protect investors from Fraud and SCAM. It doesn't kill crypto at all. But it has a "side effect" as we can tell, the price might drop. But don't worry, it will rise again.

[bitbunnny]

Regulation will not kill the crypto and that is not even the intention.
I'm aware that many users don't actualy support regulative efforts of governments and central banks but I'm convinced that can bring some positive changes for cryptocurrencies and get it even more accepted in wider society. It's important to understand that regulation can't change the nature of Bitcoin, it will continue to stay decentralized so there is no fear of control in that sense.
Think that the fear of regulation is exaggerated.

[Umar001]

Regulations will not kill bitcoin, it will only make it stronger and reliable, regulations of bitcoin will protest the investor of bitcoin against risk of being scams, regulations will bring public confident, we need regulations.

[leostrong.mo]

Because digital cryptographic money will be used as a crime by some criminals!

Therefore, the government and related departments supervise!

Regulation is designed to make digital encryption better.

[labilaab]

I think regulations alone cannot kill the use of cryptocurrencies. Regulations are always there everytime theres a money terms involved most especially that these hungry tax-collectors cannot collect tax anymore by this crypto’s so they are infact behind this strict regulations implemented.But after this regulations they instigate, I think its not still enough to stop the use of cryptocurrency since blockchain is really important for blockchain is a shared single version of the truth of anything digital. It is a database technology, a distributed ledger that maintains and ever growing list of data records, which are decentralised and impossible to tamper with.

[BETAWI]

I don't think so. Regulation is needed as the basis for bitcoin to grow legally. That is  why The existence of regulation will not kill bitcoin even it can support it to grow better and will be known more by people. Really as bitcoin lover, we expect this regulation to monitor and control its operation because there are still a lot of people afraid of bitcoin. Under this regulation people will trust bitcoin easier and they will be more interested to invest in it.

[PETES]

Actually Bitcoin needs regulation. Why? Regulation is extremely important to protect investors from Fraud and SCAM. It doesn't kill crypto at all. But it has a "side effect" as we can tell, the price might drop. But don't worry, it will rise again.

Well actually depends what kind of regulation because there's some regulations that's too abusive and can make the essence of crypto gone so we should be vigilant what those regulation consists. And whatever those regulation consists it will surely affect the price of cryptos, whether it's good or not.

Its more than protection of the investors to be victimized by scammers,but its governments benefits is what they are implementing..they have learned how huge the circulating money here so they want to have a piece of cake..but on the other hand this is the only way that cryptocurrency will be safe from many interfering of the governments and any other sectors

For me its the other way around if you look at it, the regulations would be the one that would keep the bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market alive. Having bitcoin and cryptocurrency regulated would mean that it ensures its survival as this would be accepted into a lot of countries or in the places which means that its stock and its use can grow exponentially and with that more users can flock into it and hat means more uses would increase demand higher demand means higher prices

The first goal of governments who trying to regulate crypto is profiting. An additional taxation and crypto user's deanonymization will constitute a serious blow to the idea of global decentrilized crypto. All this cryptocurrency's  law regulations are an emerging discipline and should be approached with care.

[nicko122]

It seems to me that the uniqueness of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is that they can not be regulated from one place. Decincetalization is one of the most important features of the cryptocurrencies. Regulation spoil the whole point.

[OMGyasuo]

I think the rules are not necessarily bad. Positive regulations will promote the development of the market in a better way. No fraudulent transactions exist. However, strict and one-sided regulations do the opposite. But it seems that currently  some countries are enacting regulations that restrict the development of crypto.

[Oasisman]

You have made a strong point. Bitcoin would rather be regulated than being totally ban. Everyone knows that Government tends to control everything specially the economy of a certain country. But Bitcoin is supposed to be unregulated and its decentralization must be maintained, only time could tell what will happen with crypto currency in regard with public and government relation in the near future.

[Rollkal]

But regulations only make Crypto market more difficult to invest. Minimize the anonymous criminals. So rest assured, if we do the right thing, we will never be afraid of anything. Let's focus on learning more about how you will succeed in the Crypto market.

[Blakscorpion]

Regulations are not a bad thing everytime. It can be great to build good fundations and avoid going and following millions of different path and doing nonsense thing...

[jemarie20]

I think no because regulation is just a thing that impose some thing to regulate the use of bitcoin but not to shutdown the bitcoin as one of the great digital money.

[Impros88]

nah they will not kill any crypto , may be they will make some taxes or will make some problems for us but nothing else.

[jhache]

The best thing about cryptos is that they are decentralized meaning no governments in the world can control it. Even if they bring in regulations they wont be able to control it. Also some regulation is going to be good for the crypto markets as it will bring fear in the scammers and they will think twice before doing something shady.

[Biso]

Regulations are the goverment's perogative and right now, these will have to be accepted as facts of life.

Those who have the purely libertarian viewpoint want to live in countries which leave crytpos fully unregulated. There have even been proposals to build seasteads where normal jurisdictions won't apply. This is quite fascinating but not practical for everybody, as of now.

So we have to sit back and look for the possible regulations:

1. First will be the requirement to have full KYC when dealing with crypto.
2. There maybe some sort of taxation built into the system, which normal users already pay as a service tax.
3. ICO regulation and audit can be a big area of improvement, if the ICO craze has to actually be of any value.

These regulations should serve to make market safer for the average investors. The biggest problem will be maintaining a balance between privacy and law-enforcement. This is the trickiest bit of the problem.

One thing is sure that it can't be regulated out of existence. If such a thing happens, it'll just move into the background again. People will move to friendlier countries and we can have a division of the camps that support it vs the non-supporters.
Fiat vs Bitcoin may well be the 21st century equivalent of the Socialist-Capitalist economy divide.

I think this way of putting it into words is pretty realistic and I like the comparison with the Socialist-capitalist "war"

[DoublerHunter]

I don't think that the regulation will kill the cryptocurrencies because in fact it will help the cryptocurrencies to avoid getting into trouble because if they have regulation then the government will be able to minimize the possibility of having bad people that will interact and use it to do illegal stuffs so i am a supporter of regulation for the cryptocurrencies.

[Russlenat]

Regulations can't kill cryptos in-fact it is the best way to control the cryptos for the sake of the people to avoid scams, regulated cryptos is the safest crypto to invest.

[KuyaBreezy]

Regulation may not necessarily kill cryptos,but it may limit its freedom as most of its activities will be under control. on the brighter side, there will be more trust in cryptos and thus attracting more investors and users

[Aryadwipanggah]

I think a regulation will not kill crypto, but its impact is also like the ups and downs of the price is the effect of a regulation. The regulation will also cause panic for new users. keep in mind that crypto is decentralized so that no one can control it including regulation. so regulation will not be able to kill the crypto world

[rickyNmorty]

If regulating bitcoin usage on certain countries means that it could be used on that country legally, then I don't think it would hurt bitcoin in any way, shape, or form. If anything, this would mean that bitcoin's reach indeed has been extending even in some conservative countries. Moreover, there shouldn't be any issue with regulating bitcoin use in a country since it is only decentralized, not rouge.

[Infern0]

Regulation of the crypto currency market can kill rather volatility in the market , but not the crypto currency itself. Finally, there is always a way out - to go into jurisdiction where there is no regulation.

[dexterbit]

It seems like governments, out of self-preservation interest, will at the very least want to make sure crypto is taxed. As the market cap of crypto continues to increase it seems like it will become an ever bigger target for the possibility of tax revenue.

[fanhuaijiao713]

Regulation is a double-edged sword for digital cryptography.

Opportunity and challenge!

Regulation will have a big impact on the stealth of digital cryptographic currency!

Digital cryptographic currencies that have no real applications will be eliminated, and digital cryptocurrencies with real value will be appreciated.

[Angelic T]

I think crypto is one great investors opportunity and as such the regulations will help but I don't think these regulations are aimed at bringing crypto down. I believe in some years to come when the Cryptoworld is regulated well and there is less scam, most governments will have no other options than to accept cryptocurrencies as means of transactions.

[gjtnwls1]

It can effect on crytpos price but I don't think it will kill crypto. It is already popular and trade by a lot of people. It is hard to kill it.

[Dudeperfect]

I don't think that regulations will affect crypto in any way (except centralized systems like Ripple/XRP). In fact, I believe that if there is a pressure from the government on the crypto industry then it will help us to grow. As we all know that governments can not ban crypto but they can restrict crypto to fiat transactions but even in that case, it would boost cash trades and that will create more trouble for the governments. The core ideology of crypto/blockchain is keeping away the centralized authorities from the entire system.

[el kaka22]

I do not think that regulation can kill the market. But it can strongly influence the market rate, through negative news. In the worst case, there will be panic selling

If there would be panic selling as a result of regulation, do you think that would not have happened already ?
Moreover, some people's stupidity is the reason why they will give institutions and bigger players to have a better position in the market and give them more chance to even control the market as they please.

The more we keep having weak hands, the more they keep building their position for the long run. Regulation generally would make those big investors to start considering the market and that is what they call new and smart money.

[stigmacryptonight]

this is certainly a good sign for the development of crypto, especially Bitcoin. And of course also for the investors. Hopefully be a good hope

[Name: Claudio]

Not really, it helps people of the nation to obey still on the law of government, crypto is free but some are really abusing it and some are using it to steal from others that why regulation from the government are now coming...

In some side, it will affect on bitcoin price but can not make bitcoin die. It was not created for investing only.

[cokkapaga]

Regulation will kill of crypto? No way, Regulations can't do that
Crypto can be survive forever and Not all countries is not accepted or banned bitcoin. So, no need to worry about that.
We know that regulations is have a big impact of crypto, but it can't make die. the technology of bitcoin is needed in the world.

[Spanopohlo]

I bet Regulation will not kill it that instantly, It will take time. As regulation comes and goes, Bitcoin popularity will decrease at an alarming rate making it unwanted by many, because of that Regulation. But, there is also a chance that through regulation, Stability and security of this currency will be done with ease, gaining the trust of investors and other individuals using Bitcoin.

I think have two kinds of effect from crypto if the regulation become implementing, first for the good side effect for the implementing or regulation how to control crypto to protect the investor's from the scammer's Is the way to convince people to invest in crypto and the demands goes to high.
second the bad side  if the government control bitcoin or crypto like how to control fiat money as currency is not good idea's if this come true crypto are not free for any taxes.

[Chirayu_20]

 - Clear up the tax situation

Blockchains don’t work without a token, and tokens need to be traded in and out of fiat (government backed currencies like the US dollar). This means there will always be a chance to profit (in fiat terms), so HMRC needs to clarify its stance.

In the US, the 2018 tax law clarified when you should pay capital gains on crypto. One big change: crypto-to-crypto transactions are now taxable events.

- Regulate exchanges

Almost all foreign exchange flows through banks or currency houses: what you do with it afterwards is your choice. It should be no different in the crypto-verse.

Unless you are a professional trader – the sort of person who’d self-declare as option four on a list like this – all your transactions should run through an exchange that is regulated.

- Create a framework for ICOs

You’ve done your homework and read our guide: “Should You Launch An ICO?” But chances are you still can’t discern if an ICO is legitimate or not. If you’ve even taken one look at a whitepaper, chances are you’ve given up on the first paragraph.

People are investing in ICOs just because of the hype and have no idea where their money is going – this won’t end well.

In operations with digital currencies there are many "dark" moments, it is necessary to prevent their use for money laundering and terrorist financing. Therefore, this is an area where international regulation and proper oversight are necessary.

[Sapphire9]

No, I don'tt think that regulation will kill crypto currencies. Of course it affect bitcoin and other currency, I mean prices, but crypto will survive any way, so I don't worry about it at all

[marmeladko]

On the one hand, regulation is bad and doesn’t match Bitcoin ideas and purposes. But our community can’t grow without this regulation. People and financial institutions don’t want to invest in BTC and alts until there will be any legal field.

[lodcoling]

Regulation is good for cryptos. Regulation is nothing but legalization. If regulation impose on cryptos by different countries then the general people will involve themselves more with it. And the BTC market will bigger and bigger. So, regulation will more alive the Cryptos.

[klavyemaus52]

Nothing can kill bitcoin i think bitcoin is usefull and will be usefull for ever we will got bitcoin banks everywhere soon

[12tribes]

Regulations will not exactly kill bitcoin, but may stifle it and cause a sluggish growth in that country. Regulations, when properly enacted, is meant to protect the citizens of the country, however, when it is enacted out of fear or to mitigate the involvement of people, it brings a dulling of the crypto world.

I think that the regulation in some countries may make the price of cryptocurrency somewhat shaky and decrease slightly but I think it will disappear by itself which means bitcoin and other cryptocurrency will adapt to be able to put themselves in the presence of the regulation and certainly the price will soon do the recovery again.

[pharaon]

Regulation can be different. Legal norms and rules can be directed in the right direction, and contribute to the development of the Crypto-currency. I do not think that regulation can kill crypto-currencies, since it does not come from a single country.

[AnaPreda]

No matter how you cut it, financial technology in the blockchain environment is drawing extraordinary attention – both on Wall Street as well as Main Street – where blockchain technology will be adopted.
It isn’t a matter of ‘if’ with regulators either, but more a question of ‘when’ as the global economy adapts blockchain technologies.
The Harvard Business Review calls blockchain technology “transformative”, not “disruptive”.  “It has the potential to create new foundations for our economic and social systems,” said the Review.
#LCCX is coming soon, a fully regulated and insured crypto currency exchange based in London.
LCCX is the solution to the issues currently facing the industry and want to set a new standard when it comes to crypto currency exchanges.
Based in London, a secure and politically stable jurisdiction our goal is to develop LCCX into the most trusted exchange in the world.

[KuyaBreezy]

Regulations will not necessarily kill crypto unless its on that totally restricts its operation and freedom, like bans. other regulations such as tax compliance however may not kill crypto in the long run,. they ma even improve its usage as they will make crypto legal and attract more uses to it

[00DKM@]

Nothing can kill bitcoin i think bitcoin is usefull and will be usefull for ever we will got bitcoin banks everywhere soon

Yes, nothing can stop the development of bitcoin. But if the rules or regulations from the government to strictly control the crypto market, it will certainly increase the popularity of the market and ensure future safety. But will that balance and maintain price fluctuations? It is a dilemma and a challenge for bitcoin and crypto. We need to be patient to wait for the next adjustment.

[Lucas Riley]

Absolutely not! This is what we need, to an extent. I am not in the ripple boat actively calling out for regulation but I do this that some will be very beneficial. Its obvious that there are too many scams out there at the moment scaring off allot of potential investors

[coin_maker]

Rules & regulation leads people in right way. If regulation impose on Cryptos then involvement of people will rise. And if involvement of people increase then the demand of cryptos will rise. And certainly price also rise . So there is nothing bad of regulation.

[mkcjeewantha]

  I think it's better to have regulations because after that the majority of the society will start to trust cryptocurrency and it will be a solid base for a great future of this new currency system and then everyone will be able to use crypto without any hesitation. so at that point, people will build up the trust and this currency system will be a part of our life!

The beauty of cryptos is that regulation cant kill them. Even if the governments bring in extreme regulations and make it too hard to own a crypto currency, the decentralized nature of it will come handy and there will be no way the governments will be able to control the flow of the coins.

I agree with this 100%. If regulation becomes too intensive, it can simply be ignored, at which point regulators will have to compromise. For example, if Litecoin developed widespread usage and developed overly strict regulations, users could simply migrate to an unregulated privacy coin which would be a nightmare for the regulation bodies. The democratic ownership of crypto really evens the playing field.

Regulators want to make sure they protect investors from scams, while at the same time allowing the industry to develop and deploy the new technology in interesting ways. Overregulation could move the action elsewhere, which is what happened in China.

It’s too early to tell who's doing the best job of setting the rules. Nations are taking various tasks.

What do you think?

No. Regualtions won't kill crypto but will strengthen and will make them a legit one most especially those that are planning to run an ICO. China's move to totally ban crypto or overregulate crypto is not a a problem with crypto asChina don't want crypto to dominate their local currency which is Chinese Yuan. They want one currency to dominate all over the country that is why they don't allow crypto in their countr. They just make FUD to make their reasons valid to the people like protecting them from fraud and scams I think all of that is just a cover up on what really their purpose.

[Spaffin]

Regulation can also be different. If regulation concerns only the definition of the order of circulation of the crypto currency in the country, then this is quite normal and natural. The state is simply obliged to make such regulation. It will only help the crypto currency to spread more quickly in the society, since in this case the cryptovplat is secured with the support of the state and citizens will more actively switch to its use.
We need to be wary of regulating the technology of the crypto currency, a change in its nature, inherent in it as a decentralized anonymous crypto currency.

[Itjoker]

Cryptocurrencies have firmly entered our life and now nothing can change with simple prohibitions. The state will have to regulate this new industry and try to generate revenue from it. Therefore, it is precisely the correct regulation of the cryptomarket that will become the basis for the growth of the price of not only Bitcoin, but also other alternative coins. That's why I'm sure we will see hard growth of the whole market next several years.

Protecting investors from scammers is bs, All the gov want is tax on bitcoin transactions which they cannot do if it's let unregulated.
< Will regulation kill cryptos > --> It will not kill cryptos but will put a large scar on it and will prevent mass adoption as some people will think what's the point of using them when you cannot remain anonymous and have to pay tax on each transaction.

[BinManR]

The rules will be needed to ensure the value of bitcoin for us and the consumer. It will increase the popularity of bitcoin to the world community better. That will also confirm that bitcoin is the trend of the world, and the influence and importance of bitcoin is at the heart of the revolution for economic, social and country development.

Even if there are strict regulations for crypto, it could really only be for exchanges that offer Cryptocurrency trading. As Msile said, the decentralized nature of crypto-currencies prevents regulation of crypto itself, as regulators cannot stop the P2P transacting that takes place amongst the users. So a privacy coin may not even be necessary if you can avoid using regulated exchanges. Rotating addresses already make it tough to spy on balances for one single user. However, it would be great if more enhanced privacy features can be implemented into Bitcoin or Litecoin like Bulletproofs.

I bet Regulation will not kill it that instantly, It will take time. As regulation comes and goes, Bitcoin popularity will decrease at an alarming rate making it unwanted by many, because of that Regulation. But, there is also a chance that through regulation, Stability and security of this currency will be done with ease, gaining the trust of investors and other individuals using Bitcoin.

Regulations would keep adjusting due the pros and cons. In the end things won't totally wrecked or provide benefits for crypto. That's right it would takes time to completely make a change.
A tight regulation might happened at some places , that's what could make the crypto got kill but there will always an activity behind the regulation due crypto nature that run anonymously. No one can completely kill crypto , nothing can shut it down.

Regulators want to make sure they protect investors from scams,

That's what they want you to think. They offer no real protection and their regulation comes at a price. Government's aren't a charity. They aren't doing anything to make your life easier. They are doing it so that they can control you, and most importantly profit from new business deals.
They can start selling worthless licenses at high prices and make money this way, at the same time posing as the saviors and protectors. Same shit, new wrap.

I hate to take side of the government, but here's what I think. Voluntarily they wouldn't do anything to make our lives easier, that's true, but fortunately they can't afford doing what they want in the modern world and that's why they do some useful things out of the fear to be overthrown. For example, there would be chaos in the streets if there were no government. Maybe you are strong and you can take a gun and protect yourself, but not everyone is like you. Weak people need protection and that's what they get from the government. Same goes for the situation in the world of crypto. Of course some people are impossible to scam, but most people need protection from the scam ICOs and that's why we need these regulations. No, they will not kill cryptos. Crypto world will benefit from them in the end.

[oginiimaoyani]

Regulation will not kill cryptos, it can only make new investors think so but will not kill but rather gives way for investors to invest more and increase their chances of hug profit.

[cryptodreem]

Regulation makes the things hassle free. If regulation is inducted by different countries then general people feel free to use the crypto. Then they will use it in different purposes. So, what wrong with regulations!!!

I think it can be a good thing ! As to avoid scammers in that sense. There are some investors who seem to like the idea of regulation as there saying they feel moreconfortable with the idea.

It is possible for the government to coexist with cryptocurrency and not accept it as payment, which is what I think the government should do. But in fact I suspect that sooner or later the government will regulate the cryptocurrency.

The impact of government regulation is real, given that several countries have begun to restrict access to or trade in bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies.

[raes]

Regulation isn't always bad. Maybe the regulation will limit us in some ways. but in terms of benefits, regulation is very helpful for the continuity of cryptocurrency. Regulation has an important role to the development of cryptocurrency. When there is regulation, cryptoccurrency will become reliable. For example, people who used to hesitate now become convinced to invest their money.

[green_fish]

With governments' comprehensive oversight of the cryptographic currency, the junk that has not really applied the value of the block chain ICO project, the end of it is to get out of the market and be abandoned by the market.

The use of digital cryptographic currency will continue to rise! Realize its value!

[Sofiyah]

I do not think regulation will kill the crypto. maybe make the price of crypto better. I think crypto needs regulation, to manage everything that happens inside. but with a note, if there is already a regulation, it will not hamper our free market crypto users. but it will be bad if the regulation, set the details of all our activities in crypto.

Yes regulation can help us to decide and find a good cryptocurrency. It also help us to be aware about our responsibility in investing in cryptocurrency on which is needed so that we can avoid those scams that sometimes lead us in lossing a money.

[xhoondilan]

I think it's only obeying the rules and regulations which most of the government do, even though it may cause some changes on cryptpcurrency and we can't skip it, all things must be abided by the law for the equality. Also its for us to choose only one cryptpcurrency so that it would not complicate us having so many cryptpcurrency.

[Phlaser]

Cryptocurency Regulation is a good necessity in the Cryptoworld which is needed to safeguard investor's investment. With the Regulation, all.mushrooms and scammish ICOs/Token will be eradicated, thereby allowing investors to participate in projects that meets the immediate need of the society. So for me, Cryptocurrency Regulation is a YES.

Regulators want to make sure they protect investors from scams, while at the same time allowing the industry to develop and deploy the new technology in interesting ways. Overregulation could move the action elsewhere, which is what happened in China.

It might seem that regulation could kill Bitcoin but if you think more about it you will notice that regulation will have positive impact on Bitcoin. Many investors are afraid of investing in Bitcoin because they don't know whether or not they government will ban it or they don't know how to pay tax from Bitcoin profits. Just look at Japan and South Korea. Both these countries regulated Bitcoin and made their country cryptocurrencies' investors-friendly. What a shame that other countries don't understand that they should follow the same path. They will have to change their mind some day.
