Someone update him or her the status of Bitcoin and altcoin in Bolivia since his or her problem was before, I think most of the country now is opening little by little with Bitcoin and that makes me happy to see some people and more people are coming to invest in our crypto world.

maybe later the Bolivians use the overseas Exchange and melt Bitcoin into its Fiat via Exchange Personal.

And that's in my opinion Bolivia State will lose the fee for its own state exchanges as taxes. That's where Bolivia will review to get rid of Bitcoin.

very unfortunate !

the central bank of bolivia,el banco central de bolivia said in a statement:


"it is illegal to use any currency that is not issued and controlled by a goverment or an authorized entity."





To me, the most scary thing about this is that some cou tries might just be led on by the actions of the other first world countris. While China and some other of the notable countries have been busy in their efforts on banning and completely trying to shut down cryptocurrency in their borders. This is a big change to what we are used to seeing as the third world countries dont even stand a chance as they are just copying or imitating what their actions are setting

One more government that wants to control everything and everybody in their country. No freedom at all.

Does anyone know any up-to-date news on the situation in Bolivia about a bitcoin? Any changes since 2014?

So that's why they ban bitcoin because they want to control bitcoin. We can blame them because that is their decision to protect their currency and their people but I think they need to consider the benefit that people will get in bitcoin.

I appreciate the Bolivian government's decision, and I also think that the government is thinking about taxes and everything that works here in cryptocurrency, which means that bitcoins and other cryptoes are free to roam without being processed with the government.

I think that statement is only for payment purpose, and if we trade bitcoin, i think its should be fine. Many central bank in the world ban bitcoin if used for payment purpose but they can not ban if bitcoin used for trading

Is this another reason to stop believing in bitcoin or crypto as a whole? LOL, I always laugh at those news, even those are legitimate news, the effect to the bitcoin community is so small that the price wont even dip more than 10%. If the country state is a huge country with a huge crypto investors like US, China or Japan it could have a huge effect in the price. But until not all country ban bitcoin, the bitcoin will still continue and could even be more prosperous. I think their government just want to create their own coin and stopping current crypto transaction is a beneficial step.

Sad but the authorities want to keep everything under control and cryptocurrencies will be under constant pressure from the government side.

This is one of the gimmicks of government to kill Bitcoin and we hope to see how this will work out. Government want to control bitcoin but it will not work.

I fully respect the decision of the government of Bolivia, and I also think that the government was thinking about the tax and everything that works here in the cryptocurrency, which means that bitcoin and other cryptos are freely roaming around without processing with the government, in simple words the government is not benefiting with the cryptocurrency but only the citizens of Bolivia are benefiting which may be the cause of banning bitcoin there, correct me if I'm wrong though.

I totally agree with your opinion

In many countries, bitcoin is blocked because it can harm the country itself and especially harm this country, because the new cryptocurrency is something Grand and new in the world.

Doesn't surprises me much. Bolivia is another shitty socialist country, like Venezuela. They have till now avoided a Venezuela-style meltdown thanks to the abundant mineral (especially Silver and Copper) and gas resources.
with abundant produce in the country so as not to follow the trend that is popular in the world ,I just know even until now from you sir that the country has a good income
It's quite alarming to hear this kind of news, because it can probably affect the price and the view of other people. Nevertheless, it's not new to everyone of us, it's not the first time it ever happened. We have to stay hopeful in spite of this issue and learn to respond to it constructively. Keep in mind that it's a normal trend and whenever other countries kick bitcoin away, others also keep it valuably. Bitcoin investors, traders or users come and go but Bitcoin will stay and will survive.

I think this should not be considered "News" since it's already old. This is way back 2014. I feel sorry for people in Bolivia though. Such a shame they are can't use Bitcoin.

Hi there Donotfoolme! It is not new when some of the countries ban bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The government always tell that it is illegal because there are numerous cases of fraud or scam that roots from cryptocurrencies. They always tell that they have to do it in order to protect their citizen from financial loss. On the other side, there are countries that want to start their own government controlled island in taihiti which will be a paradise for those who want to live in a technological and environmental friendly area. However, this is still in the process, but I do hope to see its success someday.

Most countries prohibit the use of Bitcoin for exchange or direct selling. So it's not too hard to understand when it's banned in Bolivia. It is difficult for the government to control it at the moment, so they choose to ban it. In addition, it involves too many illegal activities and also reduces the influence of the government and the central bank. So they do not allow it to work
