Description
TL;DR: A period news record describing cryptocurrency restrictions proposed during debate over Algeria's 2018 Finance Bill.
About This Document
Joshua Althauser reports that Algeria's government was considering language that would prohibit possession and use of virtual currencies, not merely their acceptance as payment. The article quotes the proposed provision, summarizes its characterization of Bitcoin, and records government concerns about anonymity, money laundering, tax evasion, and illegal commerce. The PDF is a web-page capture with the clutter that such captures tend to preserve.
Why Bitcoin People May Care
Regulatory news often survives long after the proposal, amendment, or political moment has changed. This file is useful as evidence of how Bitcoin was discussed in late 2017, including assumptions about anonymity and enforcement. It is not the official statute, does not establish the law currently in force in Algeria, and should not be used as legal or financial advice.
