If bitcoin were to be regulated, what are some possible regulations? Answer Request▾
In the USA, the IRS simply won access in court to 14,000 Coinbase accounts "that led bitcoin exchanges worth $20,000 or more". They initially sued for access to all records, however in this manner restricted their request.
In the UK, as per ZDNet, "The British government is mounting a crackdown on Bitcoin in the midst of rising worries about illegal tax avoidance and tax avoidance, with UK Treasury uncovering it is investigating managing digital forms of money."
Different nations are investigating an assortment of controls - the nations underneath and a few others are depicted in this Investopedia article:
Switzerland has chosen to grasp digital money in the same non-administrative way the same number of other European nations.
Australia has struck a gainful adjust by they way they handle both blockchain innovation and theoretical digital forms of money. They have named bitcoin as "cash" to have the capacity to assess the individuals who exchange with it, and have constructed extraordinary limits to control the nation's expanding ICO part.
In Germany, bitcoin is viewed as a "unit of record" and its subjects are allowed to exchange it as they wish. In any case, it's likewise assessable and must cause VAT when exchanged with Euros.
