I think it depends on the laws of the country that make it legal or illegal basing on country boundaries

Let's take the discussion here. I would like to ask you some questions, namely:
1. What is bitcoin is legal or illegal?
2. What are the shortcomings of bitcoin?
3. According to you whether bitcoin transaction can be said to be "safe"?

1. Please see: Legality of bitcoin by country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_bitcoin_by_country

2. For example, one is that it is not anonymous: http://www.bitcoinisnotanonymous.com/
Second could be that is is not fungible: http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-fungibility-essential/

3. "safe" in what sense? regarding your privacy or anonymity, or whether there is no double spending, or if your coins can be stolen, etc.?

1.It's not illegal but it also isn't recognized as legal yet. It's lawless right now.
2.It's not widely accepted yet but great technology, it would change whole monetary system.
3.Yes, it's safe if you know what to do.

In my view point, generally bitcoin is legal, but if there some countries prohibit to use bitcoin, it becomes illegal.
I think Transactions bitcoin safe enough.

I can' t imagine why I'm wasting my time responding to nonsense posted by someone like you, but perhaps I'm feeling a bit more generous that usual with the Christmas season.

Let's take the discussion here. I would like to ask you some questions, namely:
1. What is bitcoin is legal or illegal?

Yes.

2. What are the shortcomings of bitcoin?

It is new and widely unknown. It requires some attention to security. It requires internet access.

3. According to you whether bitcoin transaction can be said to be "safe"?

Yes.

Bitcoin is legal in most countries, but some communist or undemocratic countries do not prove bitcoin as a currency. They fear the damage it will do to their economy rather than good.

That's correct, bitcoin is legal if you use it legally and it is illegal if you use it for illegal things like gambling or drugs, as drugs and gambling are prohibited in many countries so it is totally individual choice like where they want to use their bitcoins either for good or for bad activities, the government of the countries will never support bitcoins as they consider it as a threat to the banking system.

One guy in Taiwan said it was banned. When the rest of the government was asked I don't think they agreed. You have to pass laws and stuff first.

You can take this as a reference.

Basically Bitcoin isn't illegal anywhere (as in the law explicitly says "Bitcoin is illegal") but the use of digital currencies is prohibited in some places, or discouraged.

A Bitcoin transaction itself is always safe.
But many said that if the store bitcoin must be careful, though legal, but bitcoin bitcoin prone to theft so for disbursement to the bitcoin rupiah tightened. And advised not to click a link are not clear and provide any data to everyone. Is prone to theft bitcoin true ??

It's illegal in some, legal in some. However it's easy to get around the restrictions...
