I was curious to see your replies on several comments and questions I made above discussing crypto regulation. Thanks for the email address. I'll keep that in mind, but don't use email that much. Plus, we can both gain more here with other's comments and input as well, as was the case in that other post.

It does seem that the "compromise" at the G20 was only a bit of a delay and plans are still moving forward by some towards more regulations; and now that the market seems to be digesting that, it, along with probably mostly all the markets in general selling off, seem to have pulled back the reigns on any new rally for the time being.

I'm still really curious what I asked above, "Can you explain better what sort of specific regulation you actually feel the world really needs on crypto that we don't have already and how you feel those specific regulations would help the growth?" These sorts of questions and discussions are going on everywhere now and maybe someone involved may see our discussions too. You never know. All the best

Hi buddy

Im doing my best to reply all messages and I hope I will not miss any. The truth is that steemit isnt very user friendly and it's easy to skip some comment.

I would love to be able to keep in touch privately as well. Perhaps you could find me on facebook: Piotr Leib (Im with my little dog and my malaysian partner).

Im always trying to find a way to keep in touch privatly with those that I value. Hope you dont see anything dodgy and wrong about it. No pressure anyway.

I think I replied about my personal view related to regulations. As trader or investor I would like to know how to pay taxes and I need to feel confident that I wont be surprissed out of the blue.

People like me do not need any specific regulations, but we want to be able to build our businesses in safe environment. Or at least as safe as possible. Without threats that our efforts will be jeopardized within few month with another wave of fear and panic sell caused by another attempt to regulate this market.

What do you think?

Yeah, I know what you mean on steemit not being very user friendly.

I hear you on not wanting to be surprised out of the blue with tax regulations. That really seems to be the biggest problem. I've seen in many articles where supposedly governments had surprised people on that without any clear warning at all. That to me is their biggest mistake and where your desire for simplicity resonates the most. A big part of that is also the way what we used to call "news" has become more a game of polarized propaganda that often seems more like tabloid gossip than anything else.

I still think something similar to the 90's general "hands off" moratorium on the internet would be best for this still very young market and they should make very clear for X number of months/years, but if Y, then Z taxes would be due. I just think it's a bit of a pipe dream to reach very much global consensus, given the differences and complexities each nation has. In a way G20 is much about the whales attempting to dictate what the smaller fish do. Simple Clarity should be of the highest importance for markets to really develop.

All the best

The problem with news agencies in current days is that they are being influenced by different powers.
So like you said, news = propagands. Luckily we have youtube influencers and more content builders. This surely will help to some degree.

"I still think something similar to the 90's general "hands off" moratorium"

Could you tell me more about it? Im not sure what are you refereing to.

Very true on the battling "powers" behind the propaganda.

On the other question, they basically said to the world they were going to leave the internet tax free under the Clinton years, which I believe was a key to the way the global economy really grew in those years and played a big factor in the build out of the internet. Then Bush came along, 911 and so much began to change very dramatically around the world, which had a negative influence in so many ways ever since. I'll have to dig in to get more specifics for any post I may make on this subject.

Oh I never knew that internet tax was free back in the days. Seriously? Damn.

Now with Trumph there will be even more dramatic changes :/

Yeah, I know what you mean on Trump, which almost seems to be some sort of mysterious Trump card for the world D-elite... ;) The question is: is he there to shake things up or shake things down... Hahaha The latter seems to be the role for this week with his shot herd round the world on a new US-China Trade war.

Have a great weekend!
