Regulowanie kryptowalut w Polsce i na świecie na przykładzie Bitcoina – status prawny i interpretacja ekonomiczna

Abstract

The author presents the current legal status of cryptocurrencies in the world and in Poland and a preliminary economic assessment of legal solutions in Poland. The author points out that the current importance of Bitcoin is scarce in Poland and small in the world, despite the increasingly elaborate Bitcoin ecosystem, and that the Polish law is prepared for the adoption of this new phenomenon. However, there are still a lot of unresolved specific issues, particularly concerning tax, that make it difficult for financial institutions and users to take a stance on Bitcoin, which generates the need for an official arrangement on Bitcoin. The author also proposes an approach to enable the development of private exchange, which however would require extensive action on a global scale.
