"Why or why not?" here is no alternative. – There will always be another alternative haha. Yes some are and some others will in time my belief is all will by the end of 2021 – Let’s hope so! I personally think those who adapt and use it for good will be top of the food chain{superpowers} in the next 30 odd years. the beauty of blockchain is, it makes the world a much easier place, information and doing business much easier. Unfortunately though, politicians aren't honest folk. So in a lot of countries, depending on who in the driving seat, implementation won't be a walk in park. And I'm not talking blockchain just a digital currency, referring to other wonderful uses of the blockchain. – Yeah, there’s def an incentive to being an early mover in any industry. Hmm, but I think govts are pro-blockchain, just not the permission-less forms of them. The us government created bitcoin – That would be some sick plot twist Follow the light out of the cave ! – First some have to see the light. They all wanna be part of the unstoppable revolution! – Aren’t you already glad to be a part of it? Keyword = starting. Yes, but in varying degrees. Lichtenstein gets an A+! Malta and Switzerland get an A, Japan a B+, Many EU nations and the UK get a C, India a C-, and the US a D- (Thanks to Wyoming and New Jersey keeping it from being an F). – Hahaha the last part made me chuckle. I agree . If one looks at the governments that implemented their www ( internet) laws and protocols first, those are the ones that are adopting swiftly . The realization has set in that Crypto / blockchain is here to stay has definitely dawned upon them . Remember they have an annual budget and this will only gain a slow momentum initially however there is no doubt it will start moving faster over the next three years . – Does make sense… They have to open up. Since Facebook introduced their Libra they have to regulate crypto before it get launced. That Libra thing scared the shit of them haha. – Certainly lit a fire under their butts and let them know that the threat is real. time does not stand still for anybody! – Preachhh Well, they acknowledge the existence of cryptocurrency. The one thing Libra is good for. – Hhahaahahahahah, dang that’s a good one. Banks want their expensive fees and will payoff government officials like the SEC to keep it that way – Lol trueee. They're gonna do more than "open up to it". If governments cant have some control over the wealth, quite frankly, they will fight any and everybody to get it! – They’ll def find a way to get a slice of that pie. They need the tax revenue – If it were up to me, I would do what the French govt intends to do – not tax crypto-to-crypto trades, and not tax when crypto is sold for fiat. |
