The main problem with Bitcoin is that it can no longer be quickly exchanged for cash in many countries. And if you manage to exchange it for cash, then with this money you cannot buy real estate, a car or deposit large sums into bank accounts.

well yeah, if they can cut bitcoin off from making it easy to convert it into fiat then they've pretty much destroyed bitcoin.

Bitcoin has already become popular and it is not profitable to fight with it.
You can fight by closing exchanges, but as experience shows, where there is profit, there is a shadow market.
Therefore, states are actively fighting cache and reducing its amount to a minimum.

One example from Russia. The regulator prohibited banks from selling currency. The bank could only sell the dollars and euros it bought from citizens. The shadow market for exchanging rubles for stablecoins immediately grew.

According to local reports in New Delhi — where the group members are attending a two-day summit — the framework will facilitate information exchange between countries beginning in 2027."

just what everyone needs. their home country or any country snitching on them to other countries about their crypto activity...before long they'll be asking if you have a bitcoin wallet on your phone or anywhere. and you need to declare it if you're travelling. so they can see how much money you have. then you become a criminal if you lie. a bitcoin fugitive!

By then it will probably be very difficult or expensive to travel

What I'm saying is that it's all about interaction procedures, which may not be as effective as it seems at first glance.
But all the bans only make crypto users smarter, and governments will have to spend a lot of money on control.

If they want to stop the could. It would be costly and you would need the vast majority of countries to agree to ban it.

Fortunately I doubt that most countries would agree to a ban.

They might agree to a tax setup and if you are in one of the high tax countries you will need to move.

Money wise btc and the other coins are not big enough for this to happen.

No government can ban or stop Bitcoin, and it is not required. All movements of coins are very easy to control and it is not profitable to close such a casino.

It sounds too conspiranoid to me but I'm not saying you're not right, although for me the most likely scenario is that they will continue printing more and more, with some timid balance sheet reduction and periods of rate hikes like now until they can't take it anymore and we go back to full non stop printing.

the more they print the more worthless everyone's paper money is and bitcoin might go up in "usd value" but if the usd can't hold its value then it doesn't mean much. people will need to be making $100 per hour at minimum wage to afford their non stop printing. Shocked

Next year is a presidential election in the USA, isn't it? I would bet that they will casually lower rates.

maybe they'll raise the federal minimum wage to something that people could afford to buy an apple with.

They won't be able to tax it in that manner.

But you may be taxed on it in many other ways.

The U.S.A. taxes and taxes and taxes and taxes. Plus they don't pay the budget off year after year after year.

This is the point. Is anyone surprised by this? Politicians have an insatiable voracity for spending, usually those on the left more, but many on the right as well. Just look at the expansion of the global debt by countries.

I suspect the idea of turning the left against the right causing great conflict among most people is their master plan to bail on all the debt they made since 2001.

Yeah rates are going to drop maybe spring 2024. Not next week most likely they pause next week then go up in November.

I have watch a lot of cycles of Fed tighten every one ends with a bust out. So we have not had the bust out. So they are not

done. I do think the mining tax for coins issue in this thread won't happen. As they will not be able to say the internet is federal property. If we ever get one world wide government it could happen.

What is Bitcoin according to US law?
The SEC did not call Bitcoin a security and, according to recent court decisions, Bitcoin is recognized as a commodity.
But it seems to me that I am being deceived. Bitcoin is not money, but why are FATF regulations the same as for money transfers applied to all cryptocurrency transactions over $1,000?

i think you may be confused. they don't want bitcoin to be treated as just one thing they want it to be treated as different things in different situations so they can control people in lots of different ways. still i don't think it's against the law to fly into an airport in the usa with more than $10,000 worth of bitcoin in your little android bitcoin app. but i could be wrong. you might need to declare it to customs or get locked up.

I think that it is difficult to confuse any person with good knowledge, because he will not obey stupid laws and follow idiotic instructions.

One more important moment at the g20 meeting
https://cointelegraph.com/news/g20-moves-forward-international-crypto-framework
"Leaders of the 20 biggest economies in the world — collectively known as G20 — are pushing for a speedy implementation of a cross-border framework for crypto assets.

According to local reports in New Delhi — where the group members are attending a two-day summit — the framework will facilitate information exchange between countries beginning in 2027."

The Biden administration is recommending changes to a 151-year-old law that governs mining for copper, gold and other hardrock minerals on U.S.-owned lands, including making companies for the first time pay royalties on what they extract.

how long until they get the idea to force usa based bitcoin miners to start paying royalties on the bitcoin they "extract"? i'd say not too long. Shocked

here is how you'll know when that happens. there will be a line on your tax return that says "Did you mine any bitcoin in the past year?"

They won't be able to tax it in that manner.

But you may be taxed on it in many other ways.

I don't see it happening ever! Mining gold and mining bitcoin are two different things. Government can impose taxes on Bitcoin mining but can't impose royalty on it. Also I believe Bitcoin is considered as a digital security in US. Have you ever seen royalty is imposed on security?

But a government can do whatever they want. However, imposing royalty on Bitcoin mining doesn't make sense!

Such standards are not yet everywhere, but this is only for now.
If the government wants to evict miners from the country, it will find a way to raise taxes and come up with other problems.

I think that an additional tax of 4-8% will not kill the economy, as they write in the articles, and will not force people to buy resources in other countries, although if the United States buys more resources on foreign markets, then prices for Europe will be more expensive. In Russia, the mineral extraction tax has been in force since 2001 and this tax is much higher.
