The European Central Bank has signaled possible regulation of bitcoin

An analyst named Tuur Demeester has warned against a recent document released by the European Central Bank (ECB) that foreshadows the possibility of regulation, heavy taxation, or even an outright ban on bitcoin. The report, "The Distributive Consequences of Bitcoin," argues that the rise in cryptocurrency prices disproportionately benefits early adopters, which it says puts later investors at a disadvantage.
