Bitcoin - How governments worldwide are responding to the ICO invasion

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Ever since bitcoin began to generate appeal from more than just the libertarian anarchist "cypherpunk" crowd, it's been rife with criticism.

From China's central bank calling digital currencies a threat to capital controls to JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon's recent comments calling bitcoin a "fraud" that is "worse than tulip bulbs," adding last week that governments were going to "crush it." The legality of digital currencies and initial coin offerings (ICOs) may still be up for debate but one thing is for sure: 2017 will be known as the year governments began to regulate the volatile and complicated sector.

A breakdown of how 12 regions, from China to Switzerland, are handling ICOs amid the bitcoin boom.
