In many countries, bitcoin is already legalized, and an example of this can be Japan, where such legalization was back in April last year. During this time, bitcoin began to accept for payment in thousands of outlets, it is freely exchanged and walks through the territory of this country. Recently there was information that in Japan introduced a tax on profits from the crypto currency, which is from 15 to 55 percent of the amount of profit, depending on the size of the profit. Over the past year, the country's gross income from using crypto currency increased by 0.3 percent.

Bitcoin itself can't e legalized because there is no means to stop blockchain transactions. However, they can legalize bitcoin exchange to FIAT and vis versa
If Bitcoin was tied to the people that wanted the price of Bitcoin then it wouldn't be a good thing. It's better to keep Bitcoin the way that it is.

So is bitcoin being a legal tender even possible and how would it work.

I would just narrow on the above. Legal tender is what is generally accepted by everyone. It is called legal because it has the backing of the law - so, we now know if bitcoin has got that status at the main time.

The other part as to how it will work... It will work in the way of bringing to bear, all the paraphernalia of legality, from legal tender to regulation and enforcement of tax payments .

The guys from AML Bitcoin supposedly have a solution to this, but unfortunately they've done a terrible job of managing their token sale and have just succeeded in p'ing off the community. Good idea in principle though. I fully expect to see more AML compliant coins/tokens coming out in the near future. If Uncle Sam can tax, regulate, and make sure there's no money laundering, it will achieve legal status.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody
It works as legalized by news that bitcoin is a scam and it is a great help to the unemployed. if you know bitcoin you will know how to earn it and look at how it works. Bitcoin is the first global, decentralized currency that allows you to send money from one person to another without involving a third party broker, such as a bank. You only need your computer to make transactions because Bitcoin is fundamentally software.

Ok great, you've told everyone what BTC is. What does this generic and semi grammatical answer have to do with the topic? And what is this first part? Are you saying that it's a scam, or that the news are saying it's a scam? Dafuk? Cheesy

How will it work? Basically the same as cash works nowadays. You will be able to pay taxes with it, it will be recognized as an alternative payment method that you can use to fund whatever you need, like donate to anyone, receive as wage, manage books, buy and sell property with, pay debt, pay for court motions, fines, whatever you choose.

I dont understand what you mean by legalized because I dont remember bitcoin to be illegal. Probably you are talking about accepting bitcoin as an international payment method that you can use to pay everywhere but I dont think that will happen anytime soon because governments are not very interested in this and they are not going to have any advantages so they dont want to waste their time with bitcoin. Maybe in the future something will happen but there is a long way until then

So I have been wondering what if a Government somewhere in the world wants to legalize bitcoin or any other crypto for that matter. How would it work.

First of all the government will be trying to legalize a means of exchange that it neither controls the demand, supply and creation. It can't even be used as a means of effecting economic change like other currencies can be used by controlling money supply and interest rates.
And if we are equating bitcoin to the possession of assets like gold or diamond. They cant even control bitcoin mining, like they issue licenses to mine gold or diamond
So is bitcoin being a legal tender even possible and how would it work.
If you are looking to know how Bitcoin will look like if it is legalized by a country, just look at it's state at Japan. The government there doesn't give a dam about the demand, supply and creation of Bitcoin. They also don't give a damn on Bitcoin mining. They only regulate it and let their citizens pay their due tax for using btc. You shouldn't also ask how would it work because obviously, it is used also as an alternative payment method.

As it stands now a firm grip on how the exchanges operate is more than enough to take care of most of it.

What'll be truly interesting is if and when it becomes a majority closed loop. There'll always be a need to interact with fiat, but if large swathes of the population spend most of their economic lives in crypto I don't really know how any government keeps a hand in with that.

In Japan bitcoin is considered a legal method of payment, so, do your homework before posting stupid things.
Can you stop cash transactions? Then all governments should ban cash money by your logic.

As I said above, it is possible and has been adopted in at least one G7 country.

Why do they have to control anything like mining or supply?
The government is not involved in any of this and people are free to use or not use it as they like just like gold, trading cards, stocks, antiquities, why would there be a need to control the flow of everything. As long as taxes are paid even if you pay in BTC nobody gives a damn, or at least nobody should.

It's important that you are clear of the differences between being legal and being legal tender. Bitcoin is legal in the majority of countries but it is legal tender in none. Bitcoin to my mind will never become a legal tender due to its nature, you hinted at some of the issues such as that the money supply cannot be controlled and used to influence the economic outlook.
