We cant be certain that governments are serious about the regulatory acception of Bitcoin, because these days due to the additional pressure of the elections, most of the time what we hear about Bitcoin and crypto from their mouths is a pro-crypto narrative, as I said due to elections so there's no certainty there can be mood swings,

As for BTC as far as the community is concerned whether the government supports Bitcoin or not it will continue to achieve its targets, slowly but steadily, there's no doubt that regulatory developments work as the boosting catalyst for Bitcoin.

Regulations on Bitcoin were created only because the government wanted to control our activities on Bitcoin. Whether they dress it up with various consumer protection considerations or something else, in fact the bottom line is they still want to limit Bitcoin and our involvement remains under control by the government.

Government is the center of centralization. And Bitcoin is something that should be decentralized. However, the government certainly doesn't want something they can't control, right? So, when they can't control Bitcoin directly, they make various complicated rules regarding our activities as citizens that must be obeyed. And it worked. At least, some countries must comply with regulations regarding crypto, exchanges, and so on. This is annoying, plus, and their goal is still there, they still get taxes from it all.

Yeah, I’ve come to notice this (it’s all about control). Government is not happy when there’s something profitable in circulation which they’re not able to control or monitor. They want to be involved in all things, or have a  part of the cake. I think Government is no respecter of privacy which is why they want to be in the midst of things and try to convince us it’s for our own good.

Bitcoin was created to be a decentralized technology and I don't agree that it needs any government regulation it to function. If the government really wants to protect consumers interest in the technology, they can just make public guidance announcement, advising the society to be careful while investing in Bitcoin, letting them to know that Bitcoin is a volatile asset. Bitcoin may be used by some scammers for money laundering or other illegal activities but if we look closely, the most cases of money laundering is not even carried out with Bitcoin but with traditional money.

I completely agree with you. I will support regulations if they guarantee me that my cryptocurrencies will be safe in hands of the platform where I have them deposited, for example on exchanges. Regulations should monitor exchanges, the way they secure cryptocurrencies and crypto or fiat reserves. There should be implemented mechanisms that will protect customers from financial loss and offer them a legit service.

At the moment regulations allow businesses to do whatever they want. They can ask anyone to submit KYC and other identity documents or even freeze funds if they feel that way. At the moment, customers aren't protected when they use crypto services. Regulations don't ask businesses to be more transparent and customer-oriented. They let them open businesses in off-shores and nothing happens when they scam. 1xBit scams thousands of people and no one got arrested for that, there are many other examples too.

I didn't mean to imply it was, only that the supposedly burdensome regulations that were added under Biden (including throwing SBF in prison) obviously did not negatively affect the price of Bitcoin.

This has been a liberal talking point for business as well, if we let business owners liberal, as in let them take care of the business themselves without regulations with the hopes that "market will find the right way" then we would still have 8 year olds working for 25 cents per hour right now, thankfully there are regulations and we do not end up working kids anymore because there are regulations. I believe that while some regulations could be too much and we may end up seeing some slowing down on innovation, it also doesn't mean that we should not end up with any regulations at all, we should probably keep on seeing it.

This is our personal life we are talking about and if we let crypto be fully free, then there could also be bad people taking advantage of that situation. Have some small regulations so that we could end up with some good results and could do something much better on the long run, it will benefit them and could do a lot better.

The biggest crash we've had in bitcoin IIRC was 80% and it was because the tip was a bubble aka an unrealistic price that needed to pop and price needed to come down.

Crashes caused by some shitty centralized service can never be big and I don't think any of them were bigger than 30%.

On top of that, regulations are not going to prevent such things from happening. They will get hacked, scam their users, run away, etc. and they can cause crashes with or without regulations.
As I said before, so far regulations have not been for user protection but for government control and surveillance.
