During a recent event held by the European Parliament<\/strong>, members talked about new technologies including the Blockchain and Ethereum and Bitcoin Regulation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to them, the European Parliament will have to regulate and monitor the new tech but “it’s too early to intervene at this stage, because we as legislators don’t yet see sufficiently clearly to know what the main issues are going to be \u2013 so in order to not to stifle innovation, we don’t want it to be now.””, said\u00a0MEP Jakob von Weizs\u00e4cker<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So, the EU wants just to monitor blockchain and smart contracts in order to allow developers doing their job.<\/p>\n

Also, MEP Eva Kaili from Greece<\/strong> explained that regulation is necessary to protect citizens, but EU doesn’t want to suffocate innovations.<\/p>\n

“[In] 2008 when the crisis started in the European Union, especially in my country [Greece], people lost trust in banks and in the politicians. I woundn’t blame them because we didn’t protect them and the reaction was that some young people that we don’t really know discover this technology that actually makes unnecessary to have banks, politicians and intermediaries. So the potential is there, but it is still under progress”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Also, she continues by saying the following:<\/p>\n

“Blockchain is not just bitcoin and bitcoin is not just blockckhain. We need to understand how to protect citizens because if we help them trust this technology, they will actually start to using it. I do believe that banks will outsource a lot of their services,”<\/em> she said.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin regulation to regain trust by citizens<\/h2>\n

“We’ll have to educate citizens on how to use it […] Hopefully, [bitcoin regulation] will come and we’re going to try to protect the technology and not to stop it. I know that usually politicians and banks don’t want to change and they want to keep control, but I think this technology is unstoppable and we have to give control back to the citizens and maybe this way we can regain some trust,” <\/em>Kaili argues.<\/p>\n
