According to where I read it, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Belarus said thee is high crypto crime rate in P2P crypto transactions while exchange bitcoin with each other.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/belarus-wants-to-ban-p2p-cryptocurrency-transactionsThe authority cited a high cybercrime rate in Belarus, stating that local prosecutors have suppressed the activity of 27 citizens providing “illegal crypto exchange services” since January 2023. Their total illegal revenues amounted to nearly 22 million Belarusian rubles ($8.7 million).
So if Belarusian wants to sell bitcoin which is an asset to themselves, they have to go through a centralized exchange approved by Belarus Hi-Tech Park (HTP).
Is this not too hash?
There is nothing that can stop P2P trading. It can only be reduced.
Taking this into consideration, Belarus is not the only country involved in making use of a p2p network transaction and thet don't also appear to be the most crime rated region in the world, they have to understand that as at this present moment, bitcoin p2p network is the only and most secured digital form of payment and means of making transactions and we cannot regulate the whole system since it's decentralized, the government cannot control the crime rate with the use of fiat currency, why are they trying to achieve this on bitcoin as long as theirs justification in bitcoin network and it's transactions, i will better add this that they (government) should be the one to introduce more means of getting their citizens engaged in qualitative avenue for economical opportunities that could change their lives for good.
