In any country, bitcoin are not legal however due to following in rules and regulations of each country they were decide to allow crypto currencies or digital currencies in any nation. Otherwise I never lose hope that someday bitcoin are allowed to any country without any restrictions.

Many countries are banning bitcoin but later on they realize the importance of great innovation and then they end up regulating bitcoin. But still countries that make bitcoin illegal will surely adopt this technology, its just a matter of time. Legal or what no one can stop bitcoin and it will continue to soar higher for sure.

I want to tell about my pain in Russia! Hell! I'm a person who has bitcoins, but they can not buy anything here because they are outlawed and generally it's not known when the situation will change. The IT ministry is trying to fix the situation for years now and what do you think? Nothing, it's empty, zero! We are still at the same point as we were two or three years ago. It so saddens me that I do not even find the right words to describe my indignation! Angry

The opinions of different countries about bitcoin are divided, but in general they fall into the following two groups:
a) Countries that have decided to develop a regulatory framework for the active implementation of digital currency in the economy. (USA, Croatia, Germany, etc.)
b) Countries that consider the crypto currency to be illegal and try to prohibit or restrict its use (China, Russia, Thailand, Vietnam, etc.)

The answer is, yes, depending on what you’re doing with it
Bitcoin is of interest to law enforcement agencies, tax authorities, and legal regulators, all of which are trying to understand how the cryptocurrency fits into existing frameworks. The legality of your bitcoin activities will depend on who you are, where you live, and what you are doing with it.

Of course the company and management of bitcoin is legal and all things from them are legit.
They follow all the requirements needed by the government in order to recognize them as a legal entity and had authority to operate in conformance of the law; from this you are rest assured that investing here is safe and not a scam.

Countries that banned Bitcoin forbid Bitcoin because it poses a threat to its taxation system, not because of its investment objectives. This ban will not be harmful for Bitcoin, prohibited countries made a very risky move.

Saying something is legal, means its backed up by a law or something similar, so since most countries dont have such framework, it cant be said to be legal and neither has it been declared illegal in most countries. So i think bitcoin is a new phenomenon countries have to find a way to accommodate, but as at now its not illegal, conveniently being accepted, and ignored by some governments for now, but all this will change soon.

Bitcoin itself is legal but it depends on the treatment of every country some of them are banning bitcoin because they all know that bitcoin will effect their economy that is why government doesnt like to used bitcoin for their cpuntrymen.

A regulation was long awaited, not sure that it would be for good only.... And what should be called legal depends on the country.

Well, bitcoin is legal in some countries while there are also other countries which treat bitcoin as illegal. Depending on where you reside, you can always check on google whether your country welcomes bitcoin or not. Because bitcoin is decentralized and anonymous in nature, governments are concerned that this type of cryptocurrency could always be used for criminal activities. Country such as Vietnam treats bitcoin transaction same as money laundering. The good news is that, most major countries say yes to bitcoin.

I think it's legal. Because the whole world still recognizes and uses bitcoin. If any country wants to close the bitcoin, other countries are even more declared about bitcoin regulation. It proves that in outline, bitcoin is legal.

It's not inherently illegal, but it is very difficult to use in a legal manner, and most utilizations will be questionable, if not actually illegal. However, I think the concern about governments shutting down currency is a red herring, at least regarding the US government, which actually subsidized the Ithaca Hours system of alternative currency, via its Vista program.

Yes, the company of bitcoin is legal. All requirements that requires by the government agencies are comply by them; which is gives them a juridical personality and recognize by the government as legal entity.
From this they have authority which comes from the government to operate.
