I think they are doing well if they are securing their citizens’ future. Right now, definitely there are so many ICOs who are fake. People don’t know properly about some ICO and then start investing in it. While that one is making fraud against their money and then the person becomes loser without doing anything. So if governments are playing safe game that is better.
In fact, for ICOs sake and not to get the whole space polluted, it is something that is highly needed. As much as some may have a dislike for it, it is already apparent that for the sake of the future of cryptocurrency and to even move ahead and get going with growth, development and adoption, regulation is definitely a must but this will have to do with how each country stand to do their thing.
If crypto-currencies are banned in some country, who prevents to go to another and make operations there? Now, while the legislation has not been fully developed, you can get a good profit, it will be more difficult in the near future.
Regulation would make nothing difficult. Apparently, each country may have their own form of regulations which probably would affect exchanges, but in the long run, this is something that we all know would not be a big issue since they will be benefiting from it as well. Also, we cannot see anything like a single global regulation, like I said; it will be limited to each and every country.
