That is the actual situation we are facing still, governments are not taking any action on banning and yet it is not legal. It will take some time for them to make legal because it needs lot of documentation in order to get legalize because Bitcoin is not restricted to one country.
It's the same in my country, though there isn't much progress and updates with the
government's position and take on bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. They're not
banning it, in fact there's utilization and applications that caters to it like remittances
and a convenient way to buy, convert and cash out on bitcoins. Though service fees
vary with amounts, but it's here and people use and benefit from it. Maybe the
government is just too busy attending matters more important or just waiting for
something that might trigger it to act and impose some form of regulatory law or
legislative process.
