In general, we expect that if a token is considered as a security : you will have problem and the ICO who raised will struggle to transfert the Bitcoin in fiat in a bank account. There is still solution to unbox your bitcoin, A company in Dubai is accepting bitcoin to buy flat,houses, : you need a passport and a proof that fund doesnt come from no dark net activity. It is pretty fair to me, dont you??? BTCBTCBTC

Legality Status of Bitcoin in India

In India bitcoin is not illegal but the controlling Reserve Bank of India issues warning instructions regarding bitcoin investment on regular intervals. The officials said that the Central bank is not comfortable with cryptocurrencies and they may regulate it in near future.

There are no instructions regarding the legality of bitcoin mining activity, but the regulations can be issued in near future. There are some news that government may launch its own cryptocurrency.

Hi,

there is not dedicated legislation and regulation on bitcoin industry. Bitcoin as virtual currency is not considered legal tender by Bulgarian court. This is official court opinion on the matter after taken into consideration positions of Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) and the Financial Supervision Commission (FSC).

There is a high demand for bitcoin/altcoin/cryptocurrency companies which can be created and entered into Bulgarian company register without any limitations on commercial activity. Bulgarian authorities are not restrictive to bitcoin, so the business environment is excellent for such development. We are able to provide future clients with limited company, fully packed with VAT registration, company stamp, etc. + assistance with corporate account opening.

If you need more details or just want to have a talk on the topic, PM me

Regulatory concerns appear to hit bitcoin and other cryptos in my area of jurisdiction.

[endriagn]

good regulation will make digital currency more reliable. blockchain as a major successor must provide an inertial equality for every investor who comes. through this jamianan then of course will be an excess that poses a positive impact in society cryptocurency

[MMostaza]

With the increase of popularity of cryptocurrency, specially bitcoin, some countries and banks are willing to regulate those activities. But for the moment no one has found the ideal way in which both users and entities find themselves comfortables. Certainly, to continue growing and be considered as a real common option of currency, cryptocurrency needs to be reliable, and for that, needs to be regulated.

I was reading this article in which Special Counsel Roy Keidar and Associate Netanella Treistman of law firm Yigal Arnon & Co examine how blockchain can help to the anti-money laundering (AML) issues that crypto-currencies face, and in this way make this technology more well trusted for the audience:

https://bravenewcoin.com/news/blockchain-could-provide-the-answer-to-the-anti-money-laundering-issues-that-crypto-currencies-face/


What is interesting of this article is the introduction of the idea, that probably for us is totally obvious, of change the prisma from where AML regulations are seeing Cryptocurrency. Instead to look at it like the enemy it can be the most reliable key to control their issues.

For example to adjust to the Know Your Client (KYC) process:  "thanks to blockchain technology, crypto-currencies inherently possess the potential to actually reduce AML risks when compared with fiat currencies. The blockchain is an online public ledger, where each transaction is supervised, validated and recorded as a complete transaction history. Public ledger viewers and crypto-miners are immediately notified of any transfer from one holder to another."... "the blockchain protocol could be revised to limit transactions to KYC-verified wallets only." (extracted from the article)

What I am wondering is: are users of cryptocurrency willing to pay the price associated to the implementation of this kind of regulations, such as higher transaction costs and less anonymity?

It is very disturbing to deal with this type of situation as the consumer or customer. To have all of this on file and to be an expert on this matter must come back and haunt anyone.
