I believe in a year or two we will see the whole world moving in the same direction regarding bitcoin. most of the countries will start off by calling bitcoin things like "commodity" and then setting taxes like this, sometimes higher than it should be and some other countries will see its true nature and see it as a "currency".
in the end the best way is to take taxes from the investors on exchanges and remove taxes from it for those who use it as a currency. basically something like Japan with a lower tax.
We can just imagine that but not necessary that will happen surely. In India the current situation is far stressed out where July 1st and 5th are the final days of the Indian crypto adventure. The RBI (Reserve Bank of India) has declared war against the crypto currency and have stated that they wont be accepting any crypto-rupees (INR) conversion and thus left Indians in the sinking ship.
But, previously Government did stated they will be applying 28% Taxes on the crypto earnings. However, that went into the thin air and instead of that country came with ban against it!
Before this time, almost Korean investors really worried about new tax policy for cryptocurrency.
That's why all news said the government will apply 3~40%taxes for crypto at Jul~Aug.
But today, the government said we will apply 10~15%taxes for crypto like interest income tax, and it is very acceptable to all Korean investors.
Also they said we feel hard to say it will happen within this year and although will happen this year, there will be 1~2years stay period.

Its such a great news for crypto market, im so happy that south korea already accepted the market for cryptocurrency. After this, we can hope that will be more country that will accepting crypto as a legal property.
I heared news that some country are banning bitcoin, but now it's good to hear that there are country support the using of bitcoin. I guess there will be more countries will accept the uses of bitcoin.
I hope Korean's will enjoy their days of legality status of the crypt currency. Unlike India where their own government put the public interest into the trouble. Its more than good news for this country because at least their government has taken care of their public interest.
