I am sick and tired seeing thread here on legal about the reasons why bitcoin is illegal on other countries. Its about a hundred same topics. So here are my assumptions hope this would help.
*TAXES
- I think its the main reason of all these. Government didnt know how to categorize bitcoin for their taxation whether it would be on a passive income or not because BTC is also a currency. Thats why its better for them to ban it.
*BANKS
- Crypto becomes a threat to them leading investors to invest on cryptocurrencies rather than them. The monetary system also will change if Bitcoin becomes more popular than fiat. Central banks, which is a part of the government would make some inforcements to stop this.
*SCAMMERS
- This is the good side of all this illegalizations, to protect people from increasing number of scammers on the internet. But if that so, its not a reason why they would stop people from achieving all opportunities bitcoin would give.
Correct me if im wrong, but these three are the main reasons why i think bitcoin is illegal on other countries
You got a good conclusion out of all same shitty posts having same content inside.
Govt. do not understand how to tax Bitcoin and other anonymous cryptocurrencies. It is difficult for them to control it but if made illegal it can become a popular source of wealth hiding or money laundering.
Banks want to adobt blockchain tech. but want to avoid cryptocurrency as tech. behind it can help them to their system easy and cost effective.
Scammers often collect huge amt. of money from crowd for project development in form of ICO's and then run away. It is a good side if such crowd funding would be regulated in interest of investors.
