Ang akin po ay pagtatanong. Kung magkakaroon ng regulasyon ang SEC sa cryptocurrency, matatawag pa kaya itong "decentralized" na isang plataporma ng crypto?

Hindi naman cryptocurrency ang ire-regulate, let me quote, "The Philippines primary securities regulator has confirmed work toward crafting regulations for cryptocurrency transactions and initial coin offerings (ICOs) in order to reduce fraud risks and protect investors"... Samakatuwid, ang "transactions" or usage ng cryptocurrency, e.g. Bitcoin, Ethereum, atbp... ang ire-regulate at hindi cryptocurrency. Marahil ang ICO (Initial Coin Offering) pwedeng irregulate pero ang Bitcoin, well, I have no idea kung paano nila gagawin iyon.

Ayon dito, Can Bitcoin be regulated?

The Bitcoin protocol itself cannot be modified without the cooperation of nearly all its users, who choose what software they use. Attempting to assign special rights to a local authority in the rules of the global Bitcoin network is not a practical possibility. Any rich organization could choose to invest in mining hardware to control half of the computing power of the network and become able to block or reverse recent transactions. However, there is no guarantee that they could retain this power since this requires to invest as much than all other miners in the world.

It is however possible to regulate the use of Bitcoin in a similar way to any other instrument. Just like the dollar, Bitcoin can be used for a wide variety of purposes, some of which can be considered legitimate or not as per each jurisdiction's laws. In this regard, Bitcoin is no different than any other tool or resource and can be subjected to different regulations in each country. Bitcoin use could also be made difficult by restrictive regulations, in which case it is hard to determine what percentage of users would keep using the technology. A government that chooses to ban Bitcoin would prevent domestic businesses and markets from developing, shifting innovation to other countries. The challenge for regulators, as always, is to develop efficient solutions while not impairing the growth of new emerging markets and businesses.
