    Default US to Regulate Bitcoin for Online Gaming?

    It was reported today that United States legislators are introducing a bill in September to regulate cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin to be used in online gaming.

    Perhaps this could be the beginning of the United States government, and hopefully others, follow Japan and recognize cryptocurrencies.

    As long as everyone understands, (most likely - but speculation on my part) the FIRST thing that will likely take place is forcing exchanges to follow KYC rules in order to do business in or with US Residents. At least that is what makes the most sense.

    Well, that was underwhelming. No sources. No specifics. Not even the names of the "libertarian republicans" (whatever that is, those are two different and quite distinct political parties) who introduced said bill. Don't get your hopes up for whatever this is alluding to. It isn't going to happen.

    KYC is already implemented into exchanges. Regulating bitcoin further then that is going to be VERY hard.
