Many government are seeing Bitcoin or cryptocurrency as a threat to their financial system and they think it should be regulated to solve the problem. Do you think they can regulate Bitcoin ?
Cryptocurrencies are built partly to avoid the threat of regulation. They’re decentralised, so that there’s no central power for governments to clamp down on; trades are largely anonymous, meaning that it’s difficult to find out who’s actually doing them, so it’s difficult to introduce individual restrictions too.
But there are lots of reasons to think people would abide by restrictions if they were put in place. Not everyone would, of course; but not everyone abides by any law. For one, people do tend to avoid breaking the law. It’s possible, of course, to avoid the eyes of the law with traditional, fiat money – that’s why cash-in-hand work still happens. But most people do pay tax on what they earn, even if they could get away with not doing.
