LADSSSSSSSSS

The article says nothing of substance
What they fuck are they going to do?

Regulation isn't practically possible, all they can do is introduce laws which won't stop the use of crypto.

EU unironically wasting resources and money trying to regulate cryptocurrencies. End result will be that EU as whole becomes less wealthy, but doesn't affect cryptocurrency at all.

Fuck this shit fucking fuck

its a fucking tabloid calm your tits

Who the fuck still supports the EU on Veeky Forums?
I mean holy shit, it must be zero by now.

Banks are already kicking customers in the nuts if they find out the cashout is from crypto trading.

Canadian banks kick customers in the nuts if they see attempts at buying crypto.

EU does not need to do much more than order smaller banks to freeze all accounts attempting to use exchanges "muh anti terror and money laundering law".

Sell your crypto to me now comrade, I live in the free world, Russia.

look at all these retards that want to sell because of some trash article
literally kys, you genuinely sicken me

>express

The point won't be to regulate, experts will tell them it's not possible, at least if they listen to actual experts.
They'll seek to control it, which probably will come in the form of altcoins, or something else if a better option comes up.
So basically ETH worth 20k+ by 2020. Just wait for the low later this year.

We all hope so. A certain segment of society is going to escape wagecucking and they aren't happy. Eat a bag of dicks.

girlfriend works for the commission in DG finance. This shit is bureaucracy maxed out. All they do is shuffle papers and move stacks. If this proposal even goes through, we might, might, see some actual implementation in 2022. mifid II is 6x longer than Tolstoy's War and Peace and took fucking ages to draft up and actually implement, so whatever they come up with now is likely gonna take another fucking decade.

>it does something that makes itself poorer but has no affect on the rest of the market

Literally the definition of the existence of the EU.

Point me to single good government.
protip: You can't, small trusted parties don't scale and are prone to outside influence. Somewhere in future we either break back into smaller societes (thanks to decentralization), or we automate government and law with machines.

Makes me ashamed to call myself European. Most people in this continent are fucking full blown commies and would support regulation without even understanding what cryptocurrency is.

Basically "they're looking into regulating crypto". And then the shitpaper spins it into sounding like crypto is gonna get outlawed. I don't know what the fuck is their problem, they post crypto FUD literally every single day.

That said this may be the beginning of the end. Govts and banks are getting seriously anxious, and they know all they need to do is a few bank bans here and there, a few regulations and a ton of media FUD to effectively kill it for good. Does it look like they aren't gonna do that? Or is this some kinda jew conspiracy to buy all BTC for cheap? Fucking doubt that.

Nothing. It's just clickbait and Veeky Forums fell for it Hook, Line & Sinker.

Yeah but meanwhile it has a real effect on market price.

Poo in loos had no problem doing that. All it takes is for a few banks to stop accepting crypto transfers and there you have it.

regulation is a good thing. its paved the way for korea, it can do the same for europe.

bitcoin IS FUCKING CRASHING

FUCK YOU EUROPE

I'd rather have regulation be slow and ambiguous.
I hope they fuck it up big time, which isn't entirely impossible.

Those fuckers are making the crypto market Even stronger

Express fuds bitcoin hard for some reason. Look at their other crypto articles and notice they like to emphasise words like FRAUD or SCAM even in the context of 'this guy on the street thinks bitcoin may be a SCAM '.

yes and? Streetshitters getting their accounts locked thousands of miles away has an effect on market price.

>Point me to single good government.
Israel?
>actively protects its people
>bombs the fuck out of dissenters
>prioritize scamming other nations rather than its own citizens
>uncriticizable, always in the right
As a state it has its fair share of problems, but the government ain't one.

For any non-brits here, the express is literally the worst of the worst, cesspit, piece of shit, right-wing, racist toilet paper to ever exist.

Anything that it prints is either willfully incorrect, or total sensationlization of a non-event.

Please take 5 minutes to browse through the rest of the """articles""", especially ones about celebs and immigrants, to get a general feel for who the target reader base is.

Disregard anything featured here.

>Israel
Nice b8.

Small governments are infinitely better because the free market in unleashed

to reinforce this, look how they have to put in USD/GBP currency conversion every time they mention the $ price, because the readers are literally too busy wiping dribble off their chins to make a conversion estimate. No one gives a shit what BTC costs in GBP, apart from express readers

Neither of these things are bad.

Please just fall of a fucking cliff right fucking now.
If you don't support the right wing you don't belong in crypto.
Get the fuck out nocoiner.

The express seems like a leftist nocoiner corporate fascist rag.

gotta listen to that big black cock news! Right?

Brexit means freedom for cryptos and less regulation.

fuck the EU

SHUT IT DOWN

so.. HOW exactly do you plan to regulate crypto?

What a shitty FUD article, yea half of the government agencies are talking about this that's no news.

O P here with "AAAAaaAAaaaaAaA AAAAAA AAAAaaAAaaaaAaA AAAAAA AAAAaaAAaaaaAaA"

>express
Literally a UKIP leaflet. Disregard every article where they mention the EU

Yeah and you are comparing underdeveloped India to the EU. That has nothing to do with crypto, see where India ranks on the IEF and where you might find a random EU country on the same index. What streeshitters do is fairly irrelevant. Paypal payments were fucking limited in India not that long ago.
Local EU governments are already taxing crypto, that should tell you something. What an extranational body with no real pull such as the commission thinks of later is besides the point.

Libertarian UK with their TV licences kek.

Let them try to ban it
Ill never sell any of my cryptos
I dont want my fucking bank account frozen for using my own money
The sole reason I buy cryptos is for these retards to not decide fate of my own capital

I bought when they banned Visa/Mastercard/bank transfers to WikiLeaks
I bought when they froze and stole bank accounts in Cyprus
I bought when they printed 3 trillion Euros
I bought when they QEsed and erased a generations pension funds
Ill buy when they ban it

They can have their piece of shit banking system and Soviet control of their own capital

But theyll never touch my crypto capital

>Fear of bubble
Do they mean fear of jews losing money?

Any institution feared the 2008 bubble, because all politicians got filthy rich even after crashing.

Godspeed user

Why don't you amerimutts mount an armed revolution against your own socialist pieces of shit?

It is the favourite newspaper of the boomers, what would you expect?

it seems right/left wing have a different meaning in the UK and US.
The express is an example of possibly the worst tabloid to ever exist in the history of UK press, it's not up for debate.

i don't follow any mainstream media

if you believe that our current tory government will provide more freedom than the EU on anything that involves technology or wealth transfer to the lower/middle class then i got bad news for you son.

>bitcoin being publicly associated with terrorism, pedos and drugs by our media
>wannacry hack demanding bitcoin reinforces this
>ban end to end encryption because terrorism
>if you use tor you are a terrorist pedo
>ban porn we don't like
>age verification for porn

nothing good will come from this, i believe EU and it's commitment to free internet and technology will naturally protect cryptocurrency to some degree.

lesser of two evils.

The crypto world doesnt gives ashit about germany or france, theyre a blip in the industry. Worry when japan or usa try to ban crypto, not those irrelevant European fucks.

>largest single market
>irrelevant

Good points

they will be more libertarian without the EU

>it seems right/left wing have a different meaning in the UK and US.
>The express is an example of possibly the worst tabloid to ever exist in the history of UK press, it's not up for debate.
The express is probably garbage but leftists are still worse.

>if you believe that our current tory government will provide more freedom than the EU on anything that involves technology or wealth transfer to the lower/middle class then i got bad news for you son.
I hate the torys.
But they are probably the least worst option of the major parties.
You people are so cucked you even have a LABOUR party that would increase taxes like crazy and empower the fuck out of unions.
fuck UK
glad I dont live there

>i believe EU and it's commitment to free internet and technology
They have zero commitment to these things, they want to regulate and control them

by giving power to the EU you are allowed for less experimentation with governments and more consolidation

you want total slavery

kill all eu beaurocrats

The fuck are you referring about?

The guardian has to be the most factually inaccurate out of all our press, by a fucking country mile.

The EU is the largest single market in the world, do you think this doesn't matter?

>run up a collosal asset bubble in houses, stocks and bonds by turning a blind eye to kike banks and bailing them out with YOUR tax money when their kikery fucks up

>print unlimited amounts of fiat to give to same kikes that fucked up everything to further inflate property, stocks and bonds while lowering your purchasing power and stealing your children's future prosperity

>We need to protect you from the crypto bubble soy goyim!

Bitcoin Cash

I believe Singapore is bretty gud but don't know the perspective of an avg local

Not in crypto you retard, and i doubt in other regards also its not.

I wish.

Same. The EU is absolute communist cancer.

>Bitcoin is bubbling
>Governments: We want to protect people from a potential bubble
>Also government: To accomplish this we will crash the bubble ourselves screwing over the investors we are claiming to protect
>*Bubble burst*
>Government: I told you so
Top fucking kek, they have other motives obviously. They just don't want their currencies having competition.

The actual succsessor to USSR

pretty sure that the express must have some whale connection that wants to buy low and asks for articles each time

UK is not even slightly libertarian in any conceivable way. It's one of the most totalitarian states in the west.
They ban things like knives and internet porn. They'll ban crypto too.
One bad(EU) does not equal another bad(UK) suddenly being good.

Nothing, just some guy who wrote a letter to Financial watchdogs warning of a Bubble. Nothing is decided yet. Just random FUD

there's no national leader who even mentioned cryptos. no EU leader either. the biggest name was the french finance minisiter, and all he said said it should be regulated to avoid illegal use cases.
everyone else they quote have literally 0 political power

God damn it's gonna dump and bleed again isn't it. My portfolio's already been raped six ways from all the bad news.

This coordinated international-scale FUD can't be coincidence.

I'm gonna fucking buy this dip lads, as a matter of principle if nothing else.

so if the single largest economy in the world is irrelevant, which economy is relevant? I just want to understand your logic behind disregarding quite literally the biggest gathering of wealth globally.

Dombrovskis is dip-shit.
He covered biggest scam in history of nations - LATVIA BAILS OUT DODGY BANKS, EBRD FRAUD - check out more articles on -

www.lawlesslatvia.com

there's no coordinated internation-scale FUD.
crpyot is huge now. the number of people who are currently parking their money in FIAT waiting to rebuy again is huge. And will always be huge, simply because there are so many people in crypto now.
so the FUD will be constant. but the shilling will be constant as well.
what you see predominant on this board just depends only on which side the people who flood Veeky Forums w/ private proxies 24/7 are standing at the moment

>Canadian banks kick customers in the nuts if they see attempts at buying crypto.

Sort of but not quite. I have read posts on other boards from Canadians saying their bank froze their account when they attempted transfer to a crypto exchange. Evidently the banks have a hair trigger on anything they think might be fraud. In any case, from what i have seen, the frozen account issue can be fixed by one phonecall to the bank along the lines of yes i'm the real owner of this account and yes i do want to transfer funds to crypto exchange.

I am also leaf and have transferred several thousands in and out of quadriga with no issue.

Its the largest single market in theory only. In reality an Estonian company releasing a service or product has very little chance of capturing anything beyond their local or potentially regional market. There is a huge language barrier, cultural barriers to entry, some sectors are not open to external competition either. For example Germans tried to block retail banking service unification for a long time because local German product offering is completely noncompetitive with modern banks. To some degree you still need a fucking Girocard in Germany and things like Direct Debit via an external bank is inaccessible. Its def not like a US company opening shop in SF and capturing a 300mil strong market. Far from it.

How about BECAUSE THEYRE NOT BIG IN CRYPTO, we only care about the ones who are right now, like korea, japan, usa and to a lesser degree china.

That stupid article is literally like saying "nigeria looking to ban crypto", who cares, theyre not even big or into it , how dumb are you

Yes there is because every central planner is in bed with his ilk
And they are afraid
Sate monopolies such as single payer and payg shall perish soon enough

>zero commitment to internet freedom and technology

I'm not sure how you can say this, given the EU is literally making commitments to internet privacy and freedom. They reinforced their position on net neutrality and are now deploying GDPR, as someone who works in an industry affected by GDPR i can tell you it's a fucking good thing that the UK will most likely revoke upon leaving the EU, because muh encryption.

The UK's position on technology is objectively 100% trash compared to the EU. You can hate all you like but it's simply a fact.

>Local EU governments are already taxing crypto
They are taxing capital gains not crypto, crypto has no VAT.

You really think they want you to have a family? Or are you trying to reverse shill and deconstruct family values even further? Not sure which.

Hmmm wow, have you not seen the growth of BTC? Do you not know what can happen when something suddenly seems interesting to a new group of people?
Such a stagnant way of thinking, quite amazing for somebody who's active on biz.

>*gives you the death penalty for littering*

Did you guys really believe it wouldn't be?? That's believing in communism tier retardation lmao.

Of course it will be, it's the technology in this which is important, not the commie philosophy.

>Implying America is even 1/2 as cucked as Eurofags. You'd have to take our guns away, and still we wouldn't be 1/2 the pussies you are. I am very aware I will die, and if it's another civil war so be it.

The EU is a clusterfuck of neo-liberals.
All little revolutionaries that think they know best and wouldn't take a risk in their lives.
The only concern they have is their political agenda and not being dethroned by any other political group.
They'll ban crypto if it "protects the people", don't ever think have good intentions.

You’re a moron. Crypto is huge in Europe and is big in the UK for around 5 years before these Korean fucks ever even heard of it. You’re likely some kind of Mexican

Good. Eurofaggots only panic sell and make the price drop anyways. If anything make it illegal to trade btc s they have to pay x2 using localbitcoins,

So much fucking this
Truth

nah. the first billionaires have started entering crypto (there's no way Soros didn't buy in quietly before Quantum Fund announced their 100m blockchain investment, same for leaders of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley) and they are almost certainly the cause of last years hikes.
not all of them are against it. just most of them. some are getting fit to the new playground

Doubt it, the High Court ruled Crypto cannot have VAT on it for example. Before this loads of countries where charging VAT. Europe is actually pretty pro crypto compared to say America. Japan is still the most lenient of all though.

they are still strong on economic freedom which is really good

Switzerland is better though

Free market countries win

non free market countries are enslaved

Sure fuck it, the express is the runt of the media brigade anyways. Besides that I have to problem trading on a Asian exchange and taking a trip to cash out when the time is right.

>Combining multiple countries because you'll need all of Europe to compete against the US
