This could legalize bitcoin but it would also bring more regulations relating to it and would be taxable and counted upon income and other taxes.
In my opinion, bitcoin use was never a threat in an open society like US but it's categorization as money would provide more power to the authorities to control it. Though the consequences would be clearer with the passing time.

If you are earning an income, you should act like a citizen and pay the taxes. Bitcoin was developed keeping decentralization in mind i.e. to eliminate the interference of any third-party institution and not as something to hide your black money with. It is only fair if government imposes taxes on it and stops money laundering and other illegal activities.

Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies if left unregulated, will give rise to many illegal activities and also increase its usage as payment method on the dark web.

Yes, and time travel will provide a very appropriate answer to this, because speculation and predictions often do not provide the maximum answer for a regulation that will roll in the future.

Good news but cannot be considered a big win because we have already read a lot of these in the past it just adds up, the biggest news right now is the Defi news and the movement of the top coins in the market we are now in a bull run just us we've had our long bear period I'm hoping that we will also our longest bull period.

Yes, and this must be really studied by the government before everything is approved for price regulation, because it involves the law that must be carried out by everyone, so it's a bit difficult to take as an action.

Getting bitcoin recognized as real money is nice but how will it translate to real world, i dont think it can be used as a mode of payment in real life given how you need to wait for a transaction to be confirmed. Bitcoin is good as a investment though, high risk high reward.

Acknowledging bitcoin as the real money is long overdue, they should done this before the crisis and maybe they prevented this one. Anyway, this is a new start and a new uptrend with bitcoin more good news can make bitcoin pump higher and create a new all time high, keep holding.

Actually BTC needs proper regulations to go mainstream fully, regulations are from centralized authorities. In as much as centralized authorities cannot control crypto, they still have a role to play wrt acceptability. I really like the news put up by OP, Bitcoin being recognized as money by a government body is a good one.

This is definitely very good news for the entire crypto community. However, we must not forget that all this can play a bad trick on us. The principles of blockchain and cryptocurrencies are based on complete decentralization, but the very adoption of cryptocurrencies in the world has a connotation of centralized control. And here we are at a crossroads, and what path the adoption of cryptocurrencies in the world will take will mean how the crypto market will develop further. We are now still at the beginning of a big journey for crypto and we need to be more careful with this kind of news. But I'm still glad that such news comes. This means that the crypto market is developing and moving forward.

This can bring positive impact to crypto community. If bitcoin is recognize as a form of money then we can expect people to use this crypto as an alternative to traditional fiat. Mass adoption can influence the price as well to soar high and its good for investors who hold their bitcoin for long period already. It also means many merchants will finally accept bitcoin as one of their payment method, it wont be hard now to use it for spending and as currency, the reason it was created in the first place.

Although that will also mean that they will now have their eyes on cryptocurrency and would love to regulate it and collect taxes and all that. That’s something don’t want, most of them wants a means to earn and evade paying taxes lol, sometimes taxes can reduce your earnings to a ridiculous amount and some people don’t want that.

As for that attracting investors, I saw some comments that it doesn’t attract investors. Nah that’s not true, there are lots of investors waiting for something to prove that Bitcoin is legal, and now they have it and will now join without fear that Bitcoin is a scam.

Even though our government was uncertain about cryptocurrency they were for sure excited about collecting taxes on the income made through cryptocurrency. Was US not charging taxes for income gained through cryptocurrency before?

This is true! Many people still think of the cryptocurrency world as illegal and a scammed market. For example, people in my country aren't too familiar with the cryptocurrency market, all they know about it in the news are bad news such as "fraud in the cryptocurrency market", etc. Therefore, some news like this will erase the rumor!! We're expecting the expansion of recognition!

However, doesn't this make Bitcoin not decentralized again? As we know, BTC is decentralized and it is full of anonymously. In the crypto world, the rules to regulate the BTC is needed because it will determine how people mostly stare on this crypto. however, after legalized, will it influence on how the systems of the coin? The fees, and also of course taxes? is there any clear explanation?

First of all, being decentralized doesn't mean that it is anonymous. Secondly, bitcoin is decentralized, which you are correct, but it is not anonymous. It more pseudonymous. It can always be tracked back to you if your transaction somehow gets linked to you. Google "bitcoin pseudonymous" and you will understand why and how it is not anonymous. If it was truly anonymous, people wouldn't be caught scamming or doing illegal activities.
If you are worried about taxes, most of the countries tax bitcoin gains. You probably don't know.

Quote

Peter Van Valkenburgh, director of research at Washington-based crypto and blockchain-focused non-profit Coin Center said the district court’s ruling means that bitcoin is treated as money only in the context of D.C.’s money transmission law.

I don't think it can be applied to other countries with similar cases it goes down on how the jury or judge appreciates the value of Cryptocurrency on other countries.

We cannot attain mass adoption unless bitcoin will be approved as legal money or else it will be considered as virtual money made from thin air. There is a chance that many big time institutional investors will finally enter legally in crypto market.

First things first, Bitcoin will never be accepted as legal tender nor money but a form of money or an asset because of its volatile nature. Next, you said you'll do KYC on your BTC address? I believe we're already giving pretty much the information needed to trace us just by signing a message from an address to prove that it's ours. Don't you think that it's a proof somehow that's kept somewhere by us only and can help those big guys easily trace us?

That’s indeed a news to celebrate. Cryptocurrencies getting legalized and regulated is a win for the whole market. Government would of course not leave the market open as it’s a bull (hard to control), it had to be regulated and contained in some way. Although, I strongly believe that cryptocurrencies should be traded as assets rather than form of money due to their high volatility and how people look at it as a form of investment.

This has surely brought the market one step closer to mass adoption and acceptance in the community. I just believe that we are in the beginning phase of people start understanding about the potential of cryptocurrencies; it means we can expect more number of people will be adopting cryptocurrencies in near future for some reasons like they may use it like paypal or like gold.

I strongly believe legal regulation is not required for cryptocurrencies to hit mainstream adoption still if that is happening that will definitely boost adoption of cryptocurrencies.

This move will give noncrypto users a sense of peace that bitcoin is not illegal thing. Because let's admit it, those noncrypto users who have no idea how crypto works have the notion that dealing with crypto is somewhat illegal in nature. With this regulation, they will come to know that crypto is not illegal after all. So this will give them an assurance that looking into it as payment option is really viable. Indeed we're looking at adoption here.

Also, although this is a very good news, I also think that it will attract more of people who might bring in the idea of regulation of the crypto space; this is just my thoughts and I might be wrong as well.

There are plenty of illegal things happening through usage of paper money we got today and it is still happening to this day.
I believe that one day, government will try to regulate the usage of cryptos and not just Bitcoin and it is kinda scaring me sometimes.

I think transactions using cryptocurrency can still be kept a secret and when it is not fully traceable because as far as I know there are alternative coins that can be used to randomize transactions, even though if you only use bitcoin then transactions will be able to be tracked and tracked.

Not much to be honest, in US cryptos are already regulated but not as a form of legal tender money they just consider it as commodity thing but for some probable reasons they may consider it as money especially for some crypto related scam decisions.

But if people recognize the act then it may bring adoption but I doubt they will.

Definitely great news especially when it is coming from US. I am happy to see positive events and great news recently that are favoring crypto market massively and just goes to show the massive potential ahead for the crypto market. Slowly but surely world is accepting the fact that crypto is here to stay and it is the future of payments.

Chinese court has also given a pro crypto ruling while Russian policy makers are working to declare crypto as a property looks like everything is turning in favor of the crypto market at the moment so expect this bull run to be bigger than ever.

This both can be the reason of sudden pump of bitcoin prize this days, now that governments are acknowledging btc as a form of money and that found to be useful especially this time of Pandemic is a good way to make it more useful knowing many countries are still in quarantine and many being affected in doing transaction, payment or having extra sideline thru trading, gambling or crypto works. Many will get interest these days to try crypto knowing different countries are determining it as a form of money already.

On the one hand, this is great news. But if you think about it well, it also carries a negative for bitcoin. The authorities will have some control creating laws that can track and punish illegal traffic of funds and so on.

This might be the biggest reason of the current pump and its good that the government finally see bitcoin as a money. Though the effect of this one might still take time before people to realize, at least a bigger government recognizes bitcoin and its existence. Bitcoin is money and the best money digitally, we can't disagree to this one and I'm sure bitcoin will continue to grow. This news can push the trigger and lift the market up to the peak.

This must be the reason why BTC burst up all of a sudden. Good news indeed, there isn't a big media coverage for this kind of news though but only those who are interesting in crypto who sees this kind of news. Investors who have a lot of money will be buying BTC, the ones who are already holding BTC celebrates. I guess we are going to be preparing for the bulls to rally.

Peter Van Valkenburgh already fud around saying its just in the context of D.C.’s money transmission law. So what does he mean when they say you need money transmitter license if you are a btc intermediary?

I feel like just because court ruled something that doesn't mean it will change the regular peoples opinions so the adoption would not really get that high that quickly. Of course it could be better because companies will be able to act accordingly, and taxed accordingly as well. If bitcoin is money, so is euro, and when you exchange euro to dollar it is legal and it is quite easy and it is common, which means if you actually start a company that sells bitcoin for dollars, that means you are going to have a lot easier time to actually do it now that this rule is applied.

This doesn't reflect to mass adoption right away, but it does change some stuff, it at least lays the foundation for a potential mass adoption and how we could handle it, if it happens we will be much more ready thanks to this.

The article say :

Nothing to Be Excited About
Although at surface level the ruling might seem bullish for bitcoin, there is nothing particularly groundbreaking about it.

Still not really excited about the news, that's just a parable for the case since on the court case its about "money loundering" case. That's just from my own opinion about these nothing really being excited about these.

Well yeah, it can be big news but I don't think it will make such a huge impact in mass adoption. Looking at the article you included, it started with illegal activities, transactions, and unlicensed business, and the defendant tried to say that bitcoin is not a "money" (to escape from illegal-money transmission). While the judged considered bitcoin as a form of "money" according to him since it fits the category. So should we really look at this as positive news for the crypto community when illegal activities were still involved? In fact, I think it'll affect crypto the other way around since people might think that crypto or bitcoin is always related to illegal activities.

Part of mass adoption and will contribute a lot. We have been hearing good news for bitcoin lately around the globe and this is just one of it. While in Russia, the bill that's being passed doesn't look bitcoin like what Washington D.C is looking at. They don't want bitcoin to be a form of money but only for trading. I guess if we compile these news, there's a pretty good news that we can absorb from them as long as there's no negative and banning of bitcoin.

Definitely. Ive seen the market sudden surge today especially for bitcoin. We all knew ethereum is having a good day due to their upcoming launch and bitcoin good news somultaneously ride with it resulting to huge rise.

If US will considered this as form of money then digital currency has a bright future ahead. Mass adoption is happening already and almost all people realized that this will continue and even more realized it.

OP, I think since its bitcoin topic should this be move to bitcoin discussion instead here?

This could legalize bitcoin but it would also bring more regulations relating to it and would be taxable and counted upon income and other taxes.
In my opinion, bitcoin use was never a threat in an open society like US but it's categorization as money would provide more power to the authorities to control it. Though the consequences would be clearer with the passing time.
