In my personal view I would call bitcoin a legal thing. However, there are some countries that consider bitcoin as an illegal thing and there are some states also that free bitcoins are used. I think this is very dependent on ourselves, bitcoin is still in development and is currently still divided into two sides of legal and illegal. For me I will still use bitcoin because I believe that bitcoin is a currency of the future. With the existence of bitcoin my life becomes easier and also more improve the mobility that I have in living this life. So let's use bitcoin because bitcoin has many benefits even though there are currently some risks we might get when using cryptocurrency.

like many posters have said, it really depends on the country you live in.  that said, i think the main point to consider is that it really doesnt matter whether certain government agencies consider it legal or illegal - apart from turning off the whole internet and keeping it off, bitcoin cannot be stopped or contained

bitcoin can be illegal and legal it may just depend on how you will use it but if you gain the bitcoin through hardwork and legal transcation it can be legal but if you get it from illegal that will be very bad

most of the countries didn't say if bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies are legal or illegal. Very few countries like Morocco, Algeria etc banned cryptos. While most countries think the usage of cryptos for illegal activities should be controlled. Same time they all agree that blockchain can be used in many fields in a good way.

It depends on which country you are in live.Some countries do not allow cryptocurrencies, some have no regulations regarding it, and some are allowed and utilized by the government. however I am glad that my country is already recognizing cryptocurrencies as asset.

Most of the countries do not accept bitcoin as legal, as they have no strong basis and backup. Japan said that trading with these cryptocurrencies would be a legal aspect, but like India and China and many other countries do not accept this trading legal yet.

As of now some countries are not accepting bitcoin as legal because they had there own way in trading there products but other country use bitcoin as there payments.

Let's return to the origins. The question of legality of bitcoin can be directly answered. No. Bitcoin is not legal. He does not recognize any framework, borders and is based on the trust of people, citizens of whatever country they are.

Yes, it's true. Unfortunately, many countries now speak negatively about bitcoin and are increasingly looking closely at it.

The legality of your bitcoin activities will depend on who you are,
Bitcoin legality is not about who you are but  but it is about of how the government judge bitcoin. The simple person has no control over bitcoin to make it legal or illegal only the government.

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.

Bitcoins is only legal on some other countries because there are people who are using cryptocurrency for illegal transactions and governments are afraid of this problems. Bitcoins is the same as fiat and if it will not be used for good then it can destroy the economy of the country.

Almost in all countries, bitcoin is not regulated at the legislative level. Many governments realized that they can not fight it and decided to introduce regulation. Therefore, soon we will see legislative acts and the regulation of the crypto-currency market.

That is correct. Right now, there is no single law or policy that covers every single Bitcoin user in the world. There are various domestic policies and regulatory measures about Bitcoin but these are only applicable within the localities in which they are legally allowed. For now, if you are not allowed to transact with Bitcoins because your country bans it, you can easily travel to another country and be able to access and make use of your Bitcoins.

Bitcoin can be legal or not depends on  where it is used. Like in America bitcoin has been legalized in many states but in Asian countries like China or Korea, bitcoin is still being banned. I have been lucky when I am living in the country that the government still not ban bitcoin yet.

Bitcoin as digital currency isnt illegal but it can be use to such illegal acitivities like gambling,money laundering,and extortions if you do that bitcoin's will be subjected to a tool for your crime which is illegal this is one of the downside of it use.But it is really depends on the people on how will they use this currency.

In other places  around  the  world, they viewed the legality of bitcoin differently,  but  for  the  most  part it remains relatively safe to use as long as it is not tied to  elicit purchases or activities.  The  question surrounding between the bitcoin and  the law depends on how the digital currency  is  being  used.
