It may remove the true meaning of being anonymous and decentralized in crypto but for now, we really need regulations, it will at least remove us from harm, (take note the at least since it will really be hard even they are regulation to detect those who really want to do against the law) Too many scammers and frauds around so be careful always.
What do you mean by being anonymous? This forum may look like you're anonymous or by making transactions you think you're anonymous. But no you're not. As for the blockchain technology, you can be tracked and eventually expose your true identity. If someone has the determination in doing so, that is.
Regulations means centralization, with that the government has total control. Goodbye to volatility, say hello to same old Bank regulations.
Even outside the cryptocurrency there are lot of scammers lurking.
Rules are the foundation in any case. If the rules do not exist then everything will be messy and disorganized I think we need the rules even though the rules are sometimes unprofitable. Therefore we must follow the rules so that everything works well.
We are talking about regulating the cryptocurrency here, not the regulations same as the traditional currencies that we have. If I were to rephrase his statement he's simply asking:
If we wanted to let the government regulate the cryptocurrency.
Without the regulations, the disorder would be created and every developer with scammy behavior and some knowledge about programming would try to scam the others. This other would also try to use and squeeze the maximum profit with the hacking techniques. The government is in most cases corrupted and their influence because of the outside factors cannot be stopped.
You're right about the regulations being, needed to be organized and secure. But the government can't handle all that is happening in the cryptocurrency. Even as they might discover certain groups are scams and frauds it may not be inside their country, and besides the internet is freedom, you don't need consent from the government for you to use it. Same as for those criminals, they can make deeds that even the government might not know.
One thing is sure - They cannot take a control of the cryptomarket as much as they are trying because it is regulated in some way to keep the independence of the final users and investors which are supporting the certain coins with their money investments.
Nope there are no regulations.
