The position of the state in relation to cryptocurrency is not as unambiguous as it may seem. With a stable economy, the state will impede the exit to the “crypt” only for the sake of tax collection, which is important in itself. But if there are problems in the economy, the cryptocurrency boom may turn out to be a more serious threat, as it is able to quickly undermine the demand for the national currency and the stability of money circulation. Tightening regulatory measures in many countries has become another important reason for the fall in the rate of cryptocurrency.
