国家监管机构看到监管比特币和数字货币带来的挑战，这不是一个简单任务。
例如：马萨诸塞州的监管机构就正在考虑比特币的立法，当涉及到如何使用这些新兴货币，努力使规则明确，。
“我们试图拿出一个法律模型，或者是可用的法规， ”David Cotney ，马萨诸塞分行专员对波士顿先驱报说。 “我们已经得到很多的关注，我们希望确保采取行动时，我们是对的。 ”
Cotney也是新兴支付工作组的主席，工作组由九个州监管机构人员组成，旨在进一步了解加密货币技术。
该工作队举行了比特币听证会，听取比特币相关商业机构和监管机构的证词。
其中一个监管者是芭芭拉安东尼，马萨诸塞州消费者事务及商业管理办事处，她警告说，没有对一些对数字货币感兴趣的消费者，简要介绍潜在的风险。
“消费者和普通消费者需要知道，虚拟货币交易有一定的缺点”，她的话被引述。 “人们必须了解，对于我们已经习惯了的消费者保护类型，虚拟货币却没有这种保护。 ”
现在比特币著名的波动性就是风险之一。安东尼举例说，今天价值100美元的比特币明天可能不等于这个数。
虽然专案组没有计划 – 至少现在没有，- 制定对数字货币的法规，一些社区成员精神一振，为了看到政府官员征求公众意见，。
国税局最近打了个高射炮，颁布了联邦所得税的指导规则，为了达到联邦税收的目的的，责成纳税人把比特币当成财产申报。税务机关似乎没有对此事征询社会各界的意见，随意拼凑了一个税收指导。
评论：美国这样的法制社会，立法总是需要谨慎，确保立法是对的。
Massachusetts Regulator on Bitcoin: “We Want to Make Sure When We Act, We Get it Right”
State regulators see the challenge of regulating bitcoin and digital currency as no easy task.
Case in point: State regulators right here in Massachusetts are mulling bitcoin regulation in effort to make it clear just the play rules are when it comes to the use of these new, emerging currencies.
“We will be trying to come up with a model law or regulations states can use,” said David Cotney, commissioner at the Massachusetts Division of Banks to the Boston Herald. “This has gotten a lot of attention, and we want to make sure when we act, we get it right.”
Cotney is also the chairman of the Emerging Payments Task Force, a group made up of nine state regulators designed to learn more about crypto-currency technologies.
The Task Force held a hearing on the topic, from which they heard testimony from bitcoin-related businesses and regulators.
One of those regulators was Barbara Anthony of the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, who warned that some consumers who are interested in getting involved with the digital currency may not be briefed on potential risks.
“Consumers and average consumers need to know that there are certain drawbacks to trading in a virtual currency,” she was quoted as saying. “The kinds of consumer protections that we’re used to, people have to understand they are not available to virtual currencies.”
One of these risks happens to be bitcoin’s now-famous volatility. Anthony’s example made the point that $100 worth of bitcoin today may not equal the same amount tomorrow.
And while the task force has no plans — at this time, at least — to enact regulations on digital currency, some members of the community are refreshed to see government officials seeking input from the public.
The Internal Revenue Service recently took flak for releasing a federal income tax guidance in which it instructed taxpayers to declare their bitcoin holdings as property for federal tax purposes. The tax authority did not seem to consult opinions from the community on the matter and pieced together the guidance arbitrarily.
