Topic: Will EU regulations on BTC change? (Read 1332 times)
Whatever happens it is on their radar and already big enough to warrant debate. I cannot see them just allowing bitcoin to grow and grow without somehow getting their piece of the pie, there will be some kind of tax put upon the fiat side of it at least so when you transfer to cash they will get their part.
I just hope they wont change the directives to taxaction of BTCitcon.
Why every thing have to be regulated EU?
Theres no harm in having something unregulated.
Bureaucracy along with etatism will destroy this union.

EU has open debate about BTC.
What do you expect as a result?
i dont expect too much,i just hope bitcoin not regulated on this year,we need more time to adapted with btcoin regulations,because so far we dont need it,and we can't imagine what will happen if it come after bitcoin halving. What do you expect as a result?
Honestly, who cares. They will never be able to control fully. Bitcoin will be valuable as long as people are interested in it.
Some speculated as they are just monitoring, I feel this to be the initiation of the bitcoin regulations. Now there might be only a small people into the bitcoin forum. So when there is a large number of users they will get into it and try making some profit out of it through transaction taxes.
I am happy with the current situation, as I understand it, in Germany.
If bitcoin are bought and held for longer that one year, then there is no capital gains tax due.
For me that means that half of the bitcoins I have I could sell now at a profit, and not have to worry about the taxes, the other half I have to hold a little longer, or pay tax on the gains. 1 year is a long time, but I don't anticipate selling out completely unless the price skyrockets stupidly, in which case I could also live with paying tax on the huge profits!
As long as the EU rules don't change to make all profits taxable, I will be happy.

I think the UK government will not regulate the bitcoin for the time being. It does not want to interfere with it.

First of all I will tell my hope which is that EU be the first entity and community to fully know bitcoin a currency and give to it the full rights which have only currency within every country of EU. If not obligatorily as a strong recommendation for the moment and as a condition for the future. Giving even a deadline and giving space to be regulated according to the various (economic or other fields with importance in this matter), specifics of each country. This is my hope.
As for that I expect, according to me, it were be at maximum some recommendations about the good and maybe the need that bitcoin be regulated in order to be under control and the remembering of the fact that Eu must not remain behind the most important or even not so important countries, which have regulated in some way, its status. Anyhow must be told that the fact that they will discuss about this matter it is a very important and a step ahead in the behavior of EU versus bitcoin. Hope to have wrong in my foreseen about what will bring this interest.
From one standpoint it is good thing they regulate and all those btc exchanges must enter legal business and they must take responsibility if they have problems in security or if their funds accidently vanishes..Someone also must take control over mass scams in alts..
I think it will happen, the government can not put a halt bitcoin is very tight, bitcon growing every day and many Europeans began using bitcoin 
Long time bla bla talks,paid experts analyses etc. Maybe before any EU regulations wll be no more EU
EU is on the way to die
EU is on the way to die
Whatever happened in EU, bitcoin is here and they must accept that.
I think they will manage to control it in order to stop money laundering.

Since the question is presented to the UNION as a whole.There would lot of debates and arguments before the issues is settled. Surprisingly,the results coming out of it could be would affect the bitcoin users in either positive or negative ways,you see.If the talk is about centralizing the virtual currencies then of course it would not be a good thing for us but if they plan to make it more secure by giving the exchanges restrictions on antonymous trades,it would be secure but not feasible.
At some point they will TRY to regulate it once it grows... not an easy job though.
The EU not only debate about Bitcoin but for virtual currencies in common. I think and hope that they will find a liberal regulation. This would bring more attention to crypto currencies and Bitcoin. Further, it would be easier for merchants which are interested in Bitcoin - but fear about legal issues - to integrate crypto currencies as a payment option.
The EU likes the regulate and ban things.
So yes, I expect some changes and it will be harder to sell and buy Bitcoin officially in the EU.
Question is how they catch deals outside of the EU, for example if you deal BTC at Bter.com for example. Will be very difficult for them to track and avoid this.

Whatever we want for bitcoin, he must be regulated and monitored somehow by authorities and everything is good till there is cooperation.The Last thing we are expecting and hoping not to happen is banning of BTC by authorities wherever they are in the world. 
Not at the moment, it's not high enough on their list... give it another 4-6 years
they said that they are only monitoring the situation, they ar enot regulating it yet
yes, but how much longer will they continue "ignoring" it? we can be 100% sure that when the times comes, they will try to... what will happen?, in the end, people who already used it have lot of power, so its depends about what will do people who are using it
( at least i like to think so xD ) i remember that they said that bitcoin is too small for a regulation at the moment, i think they are waiting for major adoption, before moving their ass on this
yes, you are right, but you know... i don't believe nothing that come from them
i'm pretty sure that they are moving their ass right now in silence.In any case we will discover what's going on with them in next ye

the more popular bitcoin gets, the heavier their policy towards bitcoin will be. i think it's just a matter of time before we see some strict rules that will make it harder to freely purchase bitcoin from exchanges as their bank accounts are under heavy pressure already. there are banks already telling them to move their funds away from that bank as their account will get closed. it's pure madness.
I don't think so. I it become popular enough, they will want their slice of the pie. Taxes will fall on us, mainly when you'll buy bitcoins from exchanges, but hopefully, when it will happen, I will have enough bitcoins
!
I really hope that they don't because that will make the price of Bitcoin fall rapidly.

I certainly hope that they do not take New York as an example, but I think this might all be fairly positive in general for Bitcoin to see it being accepted as a currency.
Looking forward to hearing the outcome if this.

I hope there will be no regulation on Bitcoin and crypto currencies in general. Regulation means more taxes being imposed on us.
Sooner or later we will see some regulation.Question is how much they will try to regulate it.If they do too much, like in New York, the innovative companies will look for new residences.The UK is way ahead and knows this I would say.They want to be a fintech hub, crypto currencies and Blockchain included.I doubt we will see another red flag act.So don't worry too much.
Even if regulation could bring us a lot more respect and consideration, this is indeed that taxes will follow it 
... So a regulation may not be a good thing.

I think their might be a slight change by their announcement next month but I doubt it will be something that affects majority of users in Europe (hopefully) plus they seem a lot more reasonable into coming into a conclusion so it could still go either way.

Lots of threads on Bitcoin talk. 
HAHA 
Yes we may see lots of prediction and speculation about it here. BUt the only question will be can they actually regulate the bitcoin?
