I wouldn't see why not if there isn't a regulated crypto market of sufficient size to prevent manipulation.

Governments definitely may view Bitcoin transactions as potential sources of tax evasion and unreported income.

To meet regulatory requirements, exchanges would need to invest heavily in compliance measures, including implementing robust anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) procedures. This would increase operational costs but potentially less scams.

You're absolutely right. Enhancing regulatory compliance through stringent anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) procedures is crucial for protecting investors and reducing the risks associated with scams. While it may increase operational costs, the long-term benefits in terms of increased security and investor trust can outweigh these initial expenses. A well-regulated environment can foster greater transparency and legitimacy within the cryptocurrency space.

Jenny, your article really got me thinking about Bitcoin's future, especially the fourth halving when most are prepped to see a similar repeat.

The U.S. government's digital dollar initiative is intriguing. Why would they want to cease Bitcoin though? Would love to get that perspective.

Governments may seek to exert greater control over their national currencies and monetary policies. Bitcoin, being decentralized, operates outside the reach of traditional regulators, making it difficult to influence or regulate effectively.

Regulation could improve the overall security of the crypto exchange ecosystem by requiring exchanges to implement cybersecurity measures and adhere to best practices.

It took nearly 15 years for the world to finally see the truth of the crypto space, which is frankly nothing to crimes! Shame on this space for funding Hamas to kill babies!
