Michael Parsons – President of the Cardano Foundation, conducted an interview for BBC World News Today last January, where he gave his opinion on the regulations in the cryptocurrency market.
In the interview he says that people get scared when governments talk about banning or banning things, but there have been many “attempts” or rumors of bans, as is the case of the Thai or Russian government that spoke of a ban that later It has been fulfilled.
“When governments talk about banning, I think they talk about regulation … There is a balance between personal privacy and regulation, we can not simply have one another, we have to have both … If we had a regulation, cryptocurrencies would be more accessible to the masses …. Would you put your money in a bank that is not regulated? I would not do it.”
To the question, how do cryptocurrencies obtain added value? Parsons responds:
“It gets an added value for its use case and the underlying network, in the case of bitcoin has tens of thousands of people mining and validating transactions and creating new bitcoins, and has a theorem with large amounts of use cases.”
The icos are based on ERC20 tokens of ethereum so there is a great attraction for these two currencies and others like Monero or Cardano … “
