Can a decentralized currency like bitcoin ever get regulated?
No. Bitcoin is decentralized and censorship resistant. Only exchanges and centralized services will be regulated and this is not new.
agree. government just regulated exchanger and the other service that relate with cryptocurrent.
maybe, in some country, they make new crypto current than they regulated it as much as they can. what make people attract maybe just available bonus, then back to primary coin.
in my place crypto is bad thing, but there is a big party make new currency based on crypto.
it has been mentioned completely to the post you quoted so i can't see what you are pointing here?
hmm, i think it will hard to answer your question, right now there are 195 countries in the world, and if we want to makes bitcoin regulated in a good way, we must need 195 countries to makes the rules about bitcoin, and i think from 195 countries, there are countries that disagree about bitcoin, why? because they can't track the money, so it can makes the criminals in that country increasing, so if you think about the regulated bitcoin, i think we need a long way to go there
if you will just spend some time scrolling above , all the answers had been given and completely , so what is hard for you here?
Bitcoin cannot be regulated but exchangers and services will be fall from regulations but not bitcoin.
