According to all countries, each country has its own legal constitution and according to that digital currency is also having the law, and by following that its regulation is permitted. So, each country has its own aspects regarding the digital country. Some countries categorized it as an asset, some as legal, and some countries did not declare it still.

# TAXATION
The tax issue is the most concerning issue in the whole world because in the whole process, Bitcoin users are always anonymous and no one can track it if the user follows all rules and regulations of Bitcoin. It has become a safe haven for taxpayers and if we make business by using Bitcoin, then we can easily hide our tax money and no one can find out it. The country like USA where, if we take a lot amount of money from other countries then it may be a cause of tax but, if you bring money in the format of Bitcoin, then you can easily cross the border without paying tax and you can also convert them in money in your country and it is totally safe and best way to not paying tax.
Bitcoin had also become the best way for money laundering be using them you can easily carry money from here to there without paying tax and the most important thing is that no government or organization regulates it.
We all know that tax should be payable by us and if we don’t pay tax then it is illegal and at present, Bitcoin has become a great platform to save taxes and it is also count reason that Bitcoin and all other digital currencies are trending too much.
# MONEY LAUNDERING
Money laundering is the process by which we carry money from one country to another country without paying taxes and it is the illegal format to carry money because, in this process, we don’t pay tax and if we don’t pay tax then our wealth is also counted illegal money.
After the invention of cryptocurrency, money laundering becomes too much easy and none is able to fetch this. Because Bitcoin is the digital currency and it is a virtual currency and we can carry it without facing any problem so most money launder is using this way.
Bitcoin tax is widely discussed in the USA and according to the Bitcoin is counted as the virtual currency and they regulate it also for tax purposes. If anyone is having Bitcoin in large amount and if they lose their private encryption key then it is very tough and almost impossible to recover it and imagine that government knows that you are having a large amount of digital currency and you forget a password then how you will convince the government that you are not the owner of that currency. So, it has also negative remarks.
Everything in the world is having a positive and negative issue and like that Bitcoin [cryptocurrency] is also having merit and demerit. It has become a widely discussed issue among economists and some of them are predicting that it will rise more in the future and some are saying that it has no future.
