Abstract
About a decade old, bitcoin and other crypto currencies have had a major social impact and And they are a unique challenge for law enforcement in payment systems around the world. Technological changes in the world, such as the Blockchain, the foundation of Bitcoin cryptography, go beyond the development of rules and regulations. Currently, the bitcoin market Cap is about $ 1242 billion, which is 43% of the total market value of crypto currencies. But Bitcoin regulation is still unclear. Few countries have accepted it. Most of the world community has either taken a passive stance against it or chosen to ban and restrict it. This paper will look at Bitcoin from a legal and regulatory perspective.
