It's 50-50 on this one or neutral if you like. They are waiting for more growth or downfall hehe 
I would like to see it regulated faster. We can see some movements in that direction so I'm not worried.

I disagree. Their statements basically imply that Bitcoin will continue to exist in the long run without any heavy handed regulations on the horizon. They have also explicitly acknowledged it, which could increase the mainstream's confidence in its use. I wouldn't mind regulations either, for as long as they're fair and won't impair growth and development significantly.
Also, I'm pretty sure it will take a hell of a lot of growth for them to be spurred into sudden action. They've basically confirmed that crypto is still way too small in the big picture to pose a real economic threat after all.

One thing is quite clear here: these leaders know that cryptocurrency is something that can not be stopped anymore and all they can do is regulate it which is in a sense recognizing its role in the society and extracting some taxes on the industry just like any other legal industry we have. We are now therefore entering a better environment as far as cryptocurrency is concerned. No ban but there will be strict regulatory framework which can be established soon.

G20 and OECD have only one motivation: tax.
https://www.oecd.org/tax/OECD-Secretary-General-tax-report-G20-Finance-Ministers-Argentina-March-2018.pdf
They're working on extending AEOI to the whole world, and they want to include your BTC income with your regular income. It doesn't look good. The only good thing is that it will take years before they all agree on a common method to tax cryptos.
Even I hold the same opinion. Taxation regime is what they mainly want to bring to every country. Regulation will bring with it many more upcoming issues. And everyone agreeing on a common method is not that easy. Definitely it's gonna take much longer time, longer than what we think!!! To devise a common mechanism for taxing Crypto currencies would require a great deal of thoughtful deliberations.https://www.oecd.org/tax/OECD-Secretary-General-tax-report-G20-Finance-Ministers-Argentina-March-2018.pdf

G20 submit held in Buenos Aires Members the board seems to be quite positive for crypto-currency. The G20 Financial Stability Board said there is no threat from crypto to world economy at this point of time. Through regulations on crytpocurrency seems to be not important at this point of time but Projects like ICO should be regulated to protect investors interest.

G20 closing statement on cryptocurrencies: we acknowledge it - but it needs regulations. We will keep monitoring it.
Is Bitcoin an existential threat to nation-states, or an economic advantage to be waged over others? Can it be both? Remember, the G20 governments (and all governments) are competing against one another. How simple can this collaboration be?
They're not ready for any kind of sweeping regulations -- if they ever will be. Each government is struggling to decide its own internal goals and policies, and still has to figure how relevant they believe cryptocurrencies will be.

The bearish market bought them some time. At $100k per BTC, there's no way they can avoid it.

I expected bitcoin to be an Autonomous currency.
Bitcoin has never been an actual anonymous currency, it's just that people gave it that title. In current times with how regulated the centralized ecosystem is getting, the tiny bit of "semi-anonymity" Bitcoin may have had at one point, is completely gone already.
But a lot of users support the government. It is important for them to have unhindered access to Fiat. I think such people are traitors to the bitcoin community but it seems that they are in the majority.
It's not that people actually support their government, but they just don't look at Bitcoin the way we look at it. On top of that, they also don't see any problems in how the financial system is progressing, because it likely doesn't affect them personally. People are free to do and use whatever they feel comfortable with, and for that reason aren't traitors to this community. I find it even short sighted to see you speak out like that, and also somewhat forcing -- you can't force people to like Bitcoin and everything it technically stands for. If people want to use fiat, then let them do so, and I honestly can't blame them -- fiat does a better job in functioning as currency in each and every aspect. Maybe, maybe if Bitcoin closes that gap, things might change....

According to ICODrops - G20 closing statement on cryptocurrencies: we acknowledge it - but it needs regulations. We will keep monitoring it.
This should be seen as a good news for Bitcoin and crypto space; we knew regulation is coming, it's great they didn't decide to take a strong position against the technology.

What good do you expect from the adoption of the law on the regulation of cryptocurrency turnover? I don't like it. I expected bitcoin to be an Autonomous currency. But a lot of users support the government. It is important for them to have unhindered access to Fiat.

I don't think that it will be 50/50. As it will lean more towards supporting the cryptocurrencies.
Agreed, it's not 50/50 long term, while crypto will grow it will be needed to become regulated. My major concern is that this "regulation" will also be a source of censorship - "let's accept only what suits us & our partners, ban the others" style.
But, for now, I'd hope we are a little far from that point.

We all have seen news about it and as of right now a lot of governments are now vocal about their plans to regulating cryptocurrencies which is more than favorable compared to banning cryptocurrencies in general. With some develop countries accepting Bitcoin as a mode of payment they can served as proof that it can be beneficial for their country's economy as well. I would like to see it regulated faster.

Additionally, some policymakers showed avid support for blockchain technology, in the period surrounding the transnational quorum.
