WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Legality of cryptocurrency by country or territory, along with other pages relating to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

Capitalization of Bitcoin in page title

Much like capitalization of Internet, the way the original paper is designed, you're probably gonna irritate Satoshi Nakomoto (satoshin@gmx.com)! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.81.187.41 (talk) 04:13, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: looks like the page title changed "bitcoin" to "cryptocurrency." --207.81.187.41 (talk) 02:13, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on February 1, 2022 and again on February 5, 2022: Russia update

Because article is now semi-protected, can someone update situation in Russia? Their Ministry of Finances proposed regulations instead of complete ban and even Vladimir Putin spoke in favour of crypto-mining and regulation instead of ban.--78.102.112.124 (talk) 20:29, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Any chance for update???--78.102.112.124 (talk) 16:41, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here’s a reliable source saying (if I understand correctly) that the Russian government and the Russian Central Bank agree to recognise Bitcoin and other cryptoassets as currency.

@A455bcd9: Hi, could you take a look? Thibaut (talk) 11:12, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Another source, this time in English (and not a pro-crypto outlet). --Thibaut (talk) 16:36, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done

Even though per WP:NOTNP, I wonder if we should mention these developments. Once the law is enacted it would be better to clean up the section and only include the legal framework in force. A455bcd9 (talk) 16:43, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Dominican Republic government is NOT hostile towards bitcoin (see Legal_status_of_bitcoin.svg). You can deposit to Binance via Banreservas which is a bank controlled by the government. Hectorlf1 (talk) 00:48, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In File:Legal_status_of_bitcoin.svg, the Dominican Republic (in the Caribbean, next to Haiti) is permissive on the use of cryptocurrency. Swift transfers can be made via local bank (Banreservas) to Binance. Hectorlf1 (talk) 21:05, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Add Gibraltar:

Gibraltar adopted a proactive and progressive approach to regulating the crypto industry by putting forward the Distributed Ledger Technology Framework (DLT Framework) as early as 2018. This framework regulates firms carrying out by way of business, in or from Gibraltar, the use of distributed ledger technology (DLT) for storing or transmitting value belonging to others..^[1]

Add Liechtenstein:

Owning and using cryptocurrency for transactions is legal in Liechtenstein. Liechtenstein had a comprehensive legal framework for the crypto industry since 1 January 2020, with the entry into force of the Blockchain Act (TVTG). With the amendments to the Due Diligence Act (or SPG) and the Due Diligence Ordinance (or SPV), Liechtenstein created the basis for the application of FATF's crypto travel rule and subsequently provided further guidance to the industry through Instructions that entered into force in August 2021.^[2] Wikitoriaedita (talk) 16:16, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
