COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS Of LEGAL REGULATION Of BITCOIN IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES

Abstract

The article is concerned with legal regulation of Bitcoin in various countries of the world. At the present time Bitcoin gains a great popularity, but the authorities in various countries treat that novelty with inequality. What raises doubts is security of the system in question, but Bitcoin is easy to use, reliable, the system is open and not susceptible to counterfeiting of money. The article is based on report of the US Library of Congress Global Legal Research Center. The source base of this research has been formed during the author's study placement in the USA in February of 2014 on the delegation of the Scholar School of Comparative Law Research.
