In my country bitcoin isn't legal yet for currency or payment method. Bitcoin is only asset like gold and others asset here. But we can exchange it with fiat because we have legal exchange for bitcoin. I hope next time my government will make bitcoin legal as currency like my local currency, so i ( and all bitcoin users in my country) will easy using that to pay everything we want.
I think bitcoin is really free in your country, although the government has not recognized it, but you can swap it like other property things, this shows its convenience, no real What's more amazing. A freedom to own property and you do not need to bear any liability whatsoever.
Depends from country where someone lives, there is many countries that legalize bitcoin and there is countries that didn`t do nothing about bitcoin. In my country bitcoin is not regulated, and for now there is no laws about it, we can use it freely.
We need to wait some time, Japan and Australia started something big and others will watch and if they see that everything is working fine they will follow, so now we just need to wait.
