The South Korea taking their move on regulating Bitcoin.
The governments stance and actions thus far indicate an interest in encouraging blockchain technology and the growth of cryptocurrencies, but not at the expense of safety and security. Stated one trade ministry official:
"Any major reversal in policies is unlikely, but the government seems to believe a gradual shift in attitude toward crypto-based assets is needed. What regulators should do is figure out how to regulate them properly and prudently as Korea needs to put more emphasis on blockchain technology after obtaining knowhow and understanding of the possible flipside of cryptocurrency trading."

I think its a wise decision from the governments of South Korea that try to considerating the advantages of Bitcoin. Right now, despite the pros and cons that come along with bitcoin the number of country that want to accept and legalize bitcoin is increasing slowly, and i am happy to hear that. Let's hope that there will be more country that will accept bitcoin.
