Is that why Bitcoin was banned by the Obama administration?
- PatientTrader 9y agoObama had no reason to regulate it. The first exchange was in 2009, so it was still relatively new. Most people thought it would never be successful. However, its continuing to expand in popularity and grow in use. Naturally, profit seeking Government will see the value of getting involved with regulations, taxes, mandates etc. Most likely to happen under a democratic administration imo
- bitxbitxbitcoin 9y agoSomeone correct me if I'm wrong, but Obama never uttered the words "Bitcoin" or "blockchain" during his term in office. Let's see if Trump does.
