Bitcoin legal or illegal? This is a question of perspective av different answers may be gotten on it. To look at the definition of legal can help in classifying BTC as either legal or illegal. To some countries that accept blockchain technology (UAE), BTC can be legal while some countries can  call BTC illegal in their contry (USA). More over, there are some countries with no stand on BTC (Nigeria).

Even, majority of countries that doesn't approve BTC is due to the mining process which has been abused by their citizens.

BTC is legal and illegal. It depends on the authorities in your country.

In our country, we call it legit if it's really paying and not a scam. So for me bitcoin is legit, but not yet legalized nor banned in our country. It depends on the user on how he will use it.

Using bitcoin is not illegal in our country and the goverment didn't prohibited us to used this for payment to purchase things. But it makes illegal if someone used the bitcoin in such wrongly manner like for example;
- to do scam people by promising to them impossible return of inbestments with their liitle investment.
- to buy drugs using bitcoin
- to fund illegal activities like terrorism.
-intentionally  hiding your wealth tthrough bitcoin to avoid paying tax.

Bitcoin being a digital currency, and I must say the well-known money in the internet has gathered bad reputations because of the deep web. It was just my observation because of the people that I have been asked, saying that "Is it the one that they use to trade or to pay in the deep web? That is an illegal money." Some are even afraid to have bitcoin because of it, however bitcoin-ing has been a good part time for me being a student, it helps me in my financial assistance.

Do you know that the existence of Bitcoin has increased crime in some countries in the world? This problem is thrown by the Metropolitan Police of Europe and the United Kingdom. According to them, Bitcoin has played a huge role in their community's growing guilt. They also think that Bitcoin is involved for cybercrime, but how does Bitcoin increase crime work? Why is it being considered illegal in the country?
Bitcoins are not accepted for daily payments at shops, services and banks. But the law does not prohibit bitcoin. Bitcoin has not affected the law yet. You like to participate and invest in bitcoin not up to you. Success or failure in digital currency by you.
I didn't hear any crime cases here in my country except that bitcoin was a scam. So maybe here in my country they didn't tell that it was legit nor illegal but a worst case is it has a negative feedback or record here when it comes to our government. But that case didn't bother me at all because its featured about bitcoin Is far enough to what I am belong. So I don't care if what other thought about bitcoin.

I believe this is essentially asking the same question: "Is gold legitimate or illegal?", to which the answer is also: legitimate.

Not in all countries my friend and the definition is also an issue. In some countries you can trade it as a commodity, but you

not allowed to accept it as a payment option. All companies have to adhere to the most basic accounting practices and they

have to pay taxes, so filing their taxes and showing that they used Bitcoin, will turn out bad for them. OP, Bitcoin does not

increase crime... people actions increase crime.  Tongue

Regarding the work of bitcoin depending on what country you are currently in it might be banned or allowed to foster. however when it comes to crime that is actually one of the reasons why it is being banned however it is not to say that it is illegal more that some people are using it to fuel their evil deeds

Is bitcoin legitimate or illegal?
This is an interesting question. Bitcoin could be both legitimate and illegal depending on who is using it, the condition under which they are using it or even the country in which they are using it.

It is legitimate if the parties involved believed in it and accept what value they presume and appropriate to it. That there is agreement that it is a quantity of value makes it a legitimate means of transaction.

Bitcoin is legal if it is not banned or its use restricted in your country. A country such as China, which has placed some restrictions on its use would consider it illegal.

Use of Bitcoin for crime or to conceal proceeds of crime would make it illegal in that circumstance in most countries. So bitcoin is legitimate, it could be legal or illegal depending on the circumstances surrounding its use.

Since bitcoins are untraceable when transacted, it is easy to launder money without any bank or goverment sniffing the criminals out. Decentralization of bitcoins makes bitcoins an easy form of money for cybercriminals to use in their mischiefs. Maybe this is the reason why some countries bar the use of bitcoins, to prevent cyberterrorism.

in my country is still not legended because it still uses a real non-digital currency such as bitcoin, for crime is very possible as a money launderer from irresponsible people, as a fundraiser of criminal activity
Same also here in my country,I can say that it wasn't legit here in my country nor illegal but I'm sad that they treat bitcoin as a scam but it doesn't sound like what I've known bitcoin was. It was not like it because it is different from what bitcoin forum i am belong so if it was scam for them then for me it wasn't. They said that it was more prone to scam but it doesn't discourage me to believe more on bitcoin. I'd still have faith on what I'm feeling for about bitcoin.

Yes it is truth that the bitcoin growth for the crime activities especially in the countey of europe and germany. We know thay the bitcoin is used for buy everythings in the online. Sometimes in the online market or in black market. Black market is a market that sell parts of a human including kidney heart etc. And because of this they find or theu look for the supplier . and in the one site like deep web. We know that is part of the crime for the bitcoin because this site is illegal.

In my country I have not officially launched bitcoin currency, but there are cities in my country that use bitcoin as payment like buying drinks, food, clothes etc. And it's obviously bright not to hide so what do you think?
Bitcoin here in my country is become popular here, and because of that theres a lot of us know and some of them use it to have addtional income, but our government is not yet considered it as legit, because they know that many criminal used bitcoin for their illegal activities.
Bitcoin here in my country isn't that popular enough compare to Japan and south Korea. Here it was known by few who are their curiosity leads them to this kind of trading and I'm glad I'm one of them. And yes it isn't that popular enough and I think I considered it as illegal for now that our government also didn't recognize it yet due to may factors that it may turn out. Even though I seen a news from our national television that they taught it was a scam I didn't bother to believe to what I've head and seen because i still believeon bitcoin no matter what.


           It is so sad for you, well anyways it doesn't matter, time will only knows what is going to happen in bitcoin. Although lot of speculations that it has a high potential to be successful and be used in the future, there is no guarantee what will happen, it is possible also that it will turn into the opposite, and no one knows about it exactly.
