Very Few People are Optimistic About the G20 Meetings.
Being the contrarian that I am I believe that the meetings will end up being very positive for crypto. The G20 does not want to lose control over money so they will try to implement controls. We knew this was coming so I am surprised that everyone is freaking out.
Things I Expect from the G20 Meetings and Other Government Meetings Regarding Crypto Regulations.
1. Centralized Exchanges Will Require Strict Forms of KYC (Know Your Customer).
2. Exchanges Will Have to Report to Government Agencies.
3. There Will Be Some Safeguards Put in Place for Users of These Exchanges. (Insurance)
4. Users Will Be Expected to Keep Their Crypto in Wallets That They Do Not Hold the Keys.
5. Strict Regulation of ICO's.
These Types of Rules are Meant to Protect the Everyday User.
Myself and other Crypto-Anarchists frown upon these types of rules. In the end it will be great for the Crypto market but will cause a ton of FUD in the meantime. So be prepared as Bitcoin and the rest of the Crypto markets goes through a down period.
I also thinks that G20 bring some positive news and hope that crypto correction will over after that.

The most damaging has to be the private keys, correct? None of us trust anyone without private keys.

Yes, I believe they are coming for our private keys. It would be the easiest way to control the users. It is truly scary and goes against everything Crypto was meant to protect.

I think this is an important reason that people need to band together to educate the people getting into crypto now. There are too many people just trying to push their coin agenda but we need to work together on user safety for the benefit of everyone

Exactly, it's terrifying. We all see how no company or agency can keep data safe, nor should they be trusted. We should start making bumper stickers: "You can have my private key when you pry it from my cold dead hands."

I agree. Many people are relying on institutional money. That is what the stock and bond markets are for. This is financial freedom for individuals and a way to not have to rely on institutional money or centralized planner. People don't realize the freedom that BTC offers and the capabilities of being our "own bank"

Fortunately, the are a day late and a dollar short.
All these "rulings" will do is push more people into cryptos.
Any regulation will make cryptos seem more legit.
While the crypto-community moves to atomic swaps and distributed exchanges.
After ignoring cryptos for so long, it is in their worst interest to do anything about them. "Strike me down... i will only become stronger than you can imagine"

It might be a sell the rumor, buy the news. Bitcoin a great buy at $6000 where buy orders are waiting...wait for price to break the trend line, than buy on a pull back for a long term investment.

$6000 would be an amazing buy. If BTC gets that low, I don't think it will stay there very low. Plenty of buyers would gobble that price right up.

My plan is to accumulate as much as I can, bear markets are always a great opportunity to search deeply into the projects I believe in. As concerns regulations...with a bit of knowledge on how to safely manage private keys by yourself, you simply don't need a third party, so I wonder what they are planning to do to control the space.

If exchanges will have to know their customers, then decentralized exchanges will thrive! Also localbitcoin in person transactions maybe! Maybe even steemit, since if people can't buy they will just earn! Or maybe buy votes with credit card(it might be a loophole imo)! No one smart would let them have their private keys!
So I fucking dare them! They can't do shit to stop us lol

Yes, this G20 meeting could just nail the bottom/turn with final flush down in next few days or maybe weeks.
Anyone happens to know, what is current price/cost of producing BTC? This could also offer some floor.

It might be a long time before cash is actually obsolete. The technology has not even been fully adopted yet and it's rare to see spending in bitcoin. It was a thing for a while, but unpredictably high fees and high volatility kind of ruined it. People buy bitcoin to store money and as a high risk investment option. Removing cash now would be chaotic.

Randy, I am glad you brought this up today. This meeting has obviously got the market in panic mode. The was same market behavior we saw early Feb. (recent lows) when the SEC had meeting. I expect to market to bounce as meeting takes place. There's whales using FUD to manipulate prices down cheap. I expect strict regulations for Crypto exchanges to be announced. The Government will do all they can to strictly regulate fiat gateways. This is in their jurisdiction. ICOs will con't to expand at a rapidly pace but strict KYC/AML enforced. US Investors already banned from most ICOs so that want change ICO demand. As clear regulation comes into Crypto so will the Institutional money that we have all been waiting on. I see the regulation as positive sign, not negative. Next year we could easy be looking at $2-$3 Trillion Crypto market cap. As you know these Institutions have billions of dollars and almost none of them have any Bitcoin nor Crypto. With these platform tokens like ETH, NEO, EOS, ADA all it will take is a killer dapp to emerge for prices to skyrocket. I see these platforms like the next Google but much bigger. 1000's of dapps are currently being built out on these platforms. I could not be more bullish for next 8 months.

I agree with a lot of what you're saying in terms of institutional adaption. But BTC was originally created as a way to break the chains from centralization and bring sound, honest money for the internet with no boundaries and no central authority controlling it. If we go down this path of regulation, we are giving up our potential freedom from the chains of centralization and oligarchs.

I think @hedge-x is saying that the stage is set and i agree that good regulation, if implemented properly, could be a good thing by cutting down the U in FUD. As @pbgreenpoint points out, the path of regulation may sound contrary to the spirit of crypto but good regulation can be considered a "cost of doing business" which is not enough to depress coin prices.

There's no way a govt can control provate keys if you dont want them to. Hardware wallets are the most obvious, but there are also plenty of web wallets out there that do not store private keys.
As for exchanges, I feel people will gradually start moving to DEXs. The writing is on the wall, with Bitfinex already having created Ethfinex, a hybrid-DEX, and Binance soon to be following suit.
More and more DEXs are popping up (https://github.com/distribuyed/index), and what is most exciting are the protocols behind them: 0x, Swap, Aurora/Snowglobe, etc.

I agree. The regulations and the aggressive actions of agencies like the SEC are part of the mainstreaming process. The upset it's causing has made for a bear market inside a long-term bull market whose driver is mainstreamization.
I'm on record as saying that 2018 will be the new 2014. If so, we'll be laughing about how panicky and pessimistic we were. :)
To misquote Nietzsche:
The drive for regulation is the mainstream gazing into us.
