All these may only work for altcoins, but we don't need them with bitcoin, because we are using a decentralized digital currency and that alone has rendered them powerless over making any regulation or policies in favour of their own pocket and leadership, other crypto entities may comply to them, but it wont work for us in bitcoin network, because this same value is what bitcoin has been preaching all over the years and want everyone to be free from regulations and have their own personal security and privacy from the way the are handling their digital asset which is bitcoin.

It can help businesses. It can help banks accept crypto payments. It can help the ecosystem around bitcoin, even if not bitcoin itself.
And if the ecosystem grows, it can also bring innovation. Maybe better 2nd layer. Maybe better funded development.
If done properly, it can be good. If....

Agree with you absolutely that regulations can mean dual approach in theory but in practical we have diverse form of regulations, what I am trying to point out in this discussion is my own understanding of the approach taken by most government around the world whenever their want to intervene in cryptocurrency industry, and how their want to intervene in it, regulations is good and what we have always wanted at least it will create an enabling ground for actors to act within the acceptable laws, but then government approach to cryptocurrency have always been a stick to carrot approach that means, their fine cryptocurrency as a problem that need government intervention rather than the carrots to stick approach which aim at the advantages in cryptocurrency and how it will help the economy,, if you analyze both approach as a policy analysts you will know that the those approaches comes with different methods of executions and it may reflect differently with us in the cryptocurrency community most.

This should only apply to exchanges, wallets or any other crypto platforms honestly maybe yes other altcoins too but primarily it should be platforms owned and controlled by companies. Some altcoins still promote themselves as decentralized but not as decentralized as bitcoin so they might still be affected by whatever restrictions or regulations SEC wants to impose.

Whatever it is, hopefully it is for the better of the community

Well it’s about time, previous SEC officers have not been fit for purpose. Gensler did some good things but he hampered Bitcoins growth for so long. Spot ETFs were only approved when Grayscale took them to court & won. Without that I think Gensler & his handlers would have continued to try to stunt Bitcoin. Hopefully with a new crypto friendly regime Bitcoin can continue to gain mainstream adoption.

I do hope they will focus on BTC and big alts mostly, not on something we are seeing currently from the guy in the office..

Legal transparency is generally a good thing, as it allows people to understand what they can and cannot do. The announcement sounds promising, as the Task Force is expected to make the regulations clear and realistic. But that, of course, is too vague to be sure that the idea is to build up crypto-friendly regulations and a welcoming pro-crypto financial climate in the US. And it might remain vague for a while, since the Task Force is only assembling right now.

So what happened to the BTC reserve? I thought people who loved Trump said he's good because he does what he says. I mean, I know BTC lovers many of them wanted Trump in but doesn't this seem like same thing as under Biden era? Regulations?

And who's gonna regulate $TRUMP coin and $MELANIA coin? Lol They would not pass any kind of test the regulators would put to them.

I think it is clear, as it is stated in the post more regulations are coming. That means more restriction, more surveillance, more KYC nonsense, more taxes since US government has run out of money, more decentralized services being shut down and generally more crackdowns.

They have to put scam developers of pump and dump projects who are US. citizens and live in the USA, into jails. If they can seriously do this regulations, scammers at least who live in the USA. will be more fearful of creating scam projects.

It's how they can prevent scams at the beginnings that is more effectively than letting scammers make project launches, raise funds, scam money of many people. Governments can not connect dots and try to arrest scammers after scam projects become too big and many people lost money with those projects.

Governments can do all things and say they do it for benefits of citizens, but we know that the most benefited entity is government. They can get more money from it, for governmental operations and they can abuse policies for their own benefit first.
