Topic: Germany is going to be the Crypto Heaven but Russia Banned- What are the others? - page 2. (Read 372 times)

I don't think that you can look at Russia and China on their own, but you should consider them as part of BRICS. It has been announced that  a crypto is being developed to replace the dollar. This will probably have gold backing, and it may also include Bitcoin backing. Germany is in decline together with the Euro, and if they don't succeed in their attempt to continue to rip off the UK to support it, then Bitcoin could well become a safe haven alongside gold for the unfortunate residents there.

Thanks for the quick update. My inquisitiveness is why is Jockey moving to stay in Africa? I thought he would have better security in the States? Maybe the tax in the States is much. It's also good if he can develop Africa youth technologically, I will gladly enroll in his school.

Maybe they have different views regarding crypto and games because if you ask some ordinary people they will definintely say that games and crypto is different and even tech nerd will agree to that.

it seems that Japan and Korea allowing cryptos just to make additional fortunes for their taxing income although I can see some major company right there are adopting blockchain technology like kakao. meanwhile china is all in for adopting blockchain technology but still doesn't approve crypto anyway, maybe because their nature is a strict centralization and crypto if allowed could somehow take a little portion out of it.

I remember ,  I read a news that France is to much anti about the Facebook’s Libra. Then why it is?   

Yes, There's no border for Bitcoin! Agree.

That is how manipulative internet news sites are. They are getting worse and worse and they didn't help the improvements, we are proposing cryptocurrency to them for the sake of better transaction and financial market. And of course they will decline because it affects their personal interest or they might be even paid to spread FUDs to manipulate the market. In this case, we should learn to filter sites, do not rely on authors who aren't reputable at all, or else, you'll get manipulated.

I am more interested with the potential of Germany to become a crypto haven and personally I am hoping that eventually Germany can be replacing the market we lost in China.  Though Germany and China may not be the same, we have to remember that Germany is the biggest and most important leader in the bigger EU market. Whatever can be happening in Germany will certainly be affecting the rest of the members in the Eurozone. Let's see how things can be developing in Germany as far as cryptocurrency is concerned. Really worth watching out.

This is no FUD and I dont think it is just a talk as well. We might choose to believe anything anyway but I can see better innovation with direct effect on the community than the earlier stage of altcoins and crypto adoption. What the top coin maximalist want they will get it this time and it might bring pressure to coin with no use case as time passes.

Well India as many of you already know is kinda half way banning cryptos. Why would germany be the haven for cryptos is a little beyond me.
The government at Germany impose restrictions on how much games you can buy and when you can buy, I do not think they'll be welcoming the crypto with arms wide open.

just because the banks or even the central bank of a country makes an statement saying "using bitcoin carries risks" doesn't mean the country itself has banned bitcoin! almost all of the banks all around the world and even governments or even any individual that is not an idiot has made such statements warning others about the risks of using a highly volatile currency! specially when people want to invest a lot of money in it, not just use it for payments. but unfortunately the shitty news sites always take that as a "country ban" and report it as news...

So Germany is going to be the best destination for the cryptocurrency world, At everywhere, Cryptocurrency is going to get accepted and it will be one of the mainstream monetary systems in the coming days, so this system requires to take some reformation for being more user-friendly and secure. Since Germany has taken the initiative to allow buying and selling cryptocurrency so it will be spread out around Europe very soon, we have to remind that Germany is the 4th largest economy so the crypto investor from Germany will get assure in order to make further investment in this sector.

It's all politics. The US and the EU are pro Bitcoin in general and Russia acts as opposition and fights it. This time they chose bad because soon almost whole world will have some regulations and Russia and probably China instead of regulations will have bans.

Russia lost a lot of steam when the Soviet Union fell and is about to lose more fighting cryptocurrencies.
It's not a fight they can win. They can join or be left behind

I have learned one thing - never trust news about crypto coming from Russia or India
the rumor is they are mulling the crypto ban , but they have been mulling it for the past 5 years
the russain papers have zero info about it , other than the draft of the laws that is not public
if it does exist than it is going to be sad news for the russians , they have enough restrictions in place with the digital money
some of the anonymous wallets like KIWI are being restricted and the banks are ordered to do more rigorous checks on the people who convert digital money into fiat
I hope this laws doesn't pass and there will be another five years of banning/legalizing crypto in Russia in the news

Germany is going to be the Crypto Heaven but Russia Banned- What are the others?

The answer is simple, it all depends on who runs the country. The cryptocurrency and blockchain are beneficial for democratic countries. As we have already said, Bitcoin is a tool to combat centralization, and centralization is power. Just sort the countries according to their type of government, level of corruption, freedom of speech and you will find the answer 'What are the others?'

Let's talk about the biggest 3 regions in the world, America, Asia, and the EU.

Europe - slowly moving towards adoption, although they don't want to deal with crypto-currencies and it mostly relies on the member countries making the first move.

America - also slowly moving towards adoption, houses a lot of crypto-companies but still doesn't have accurate legislation for them and has only recently started to show interest in making their own coin.

Asia - heavily focused on blockchain technology (China), or crypto-currencies in general (Japan, Singapore, and Korea have some of the most lenient rules when it comes to running crypto-currency based businesses.

Fortunately, bitcoin has among its characteristics the not fear of borders and only the altcoins with "certain and feasible fathers" can be stopped, or regulated, depending on the Nation. But Satoshi made a fundamental move by disappearing.
For all the altcoins you can be displaced, with bitcoin no (and when the anonymity will be clear the differences will be clear).
