Regulation is a legal basis for determining how Bitcoin can be used. With the regulation, everything related to bitcoin will have a clear rule.
With things like this, investors can make decisions, when regulations support the development of Bitcoin, it will make investors more convinced to invest in Bitcoin.
For me regulation is an urgent matter, when everything has been regulated then everything will be much better.

Joseph Stiglitz, the Nobel Prize-winning former chief economist of the World Bank, Nouriel Roubini and Kenneth Rogoff were in unity in claiming that Bitcoin’s value could drop to just $100 after being "regulated into oblivion".
However experts from trading platform Blocktrade.com and LoyalCoin stressed that "REGULATION WILL NOT MAKE BITCOIN PLUMMET TO $100. It will not kill off cryptocurrency but will in fact be vital to crypto's growth. It will be essential to the adoption of cryptocurrency on a global scale. And will encourage more businesses to start taking the emerging technology seriously. The key issues affecting cryptocurrency, like security and volatility, can be rectified through regulation".

I've read this somewhere; The currencies that succeed, are not those that circumvent the state, but rather those that are legitimised by the state.
But it is a known fact that, Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency. Free from government interference and manipulation.
Does this mean that Bitcoin, being the most popular and most sought after cryptocurrency, still cannot be considered a successful currency?
How can regulation help Bitcoin along with other cryptocurrencies? Will it benefit the investors as well?
Your thoughts guys...

in my opinion, with the rules, bitcoin will be more developed and successful and can prevent the use of bitcoin for criminal acts such as money laundering and drug purchases. regulated by the government is the process of bitcoin transactions rather than going up and down in value or the amount of bitcoin circulating. so that bitcoin remains decentralized but has rules for the use and bitcoin investors to be more secure and comfortable.
