Irrelevant, a few guys meeting in a hall and discussing bitcoin means nothing while the government is actively shutting down business that take bitcoin payments and issuing fines.


Never happened!


Russia...just ignore every piece of news that comes from that country.
They are worse at flip-flopping than China.


Is that a joke???
China is not using bitcoin for anything!
And further more..."main channel" ? Chinese investors have budgets that exceed all  cryptocoins value and you think they are rellying on crypto?

China currently uses Bitcoin as the main channel for investment. Although China prohibits Bitcoin, there are still many people who invest in Bitcoin. Therefore, apart from the fact that it can only be converted into legal currency, bitcoin is no different from other investments.

Give me a good proof that china and russia have been banished in their country for bitcoin in their country, it's okay if you show proof that you can trust us if you prove to the thread you made. There are so many fake news now so we will not believe in any unverified information and make sure that the truth is what they are saying because you only believe if you do not know the word you do not trust the words.

which i know russia supports cryptocurrency.
What Russia is doing may arise from the awareness that digital cryptocurrency technology will be increasingly used by the people of the future. With positive regulation, they can monitor the cryptocurrency transactions occurring in their country,

well.. eventually some countries will banned it, especially if they dont get something or earn from it... then they will go after or ban it...

The reasons for the prohibition of crypto currency in these countries are very different, from fear and misunderstanding of the principles of work to currency protectionism and the intention to create their own virtual currency. In the list of ten countries, however, this may soon change, as many states have not yet made a formal decision regarding digital currencies.

Countries around the world are showing mixed attitudes toward digital currencies and, in particular, Bitcoin. Western superpowers, like the US and Britain, are positive about the new technology. Some countries, for example, Canada and Australia, are still discussing what to do with Bitcoin and whether it is worth doing anything. And a number of other countries have already decided against digital currencies. We present you a list of ten countries in which the use of Bitcoin is the most problematic.

NEWS ...

I think Bitcoin is not be banned but more regulated, because the country saves the people from losing the real money.

More people in the world are after to profit how much more if we talk a country. It is not an easy issue for a country to banned bitcoin. They will present the advantages and disadvantages in the present and in the future of crypto toward the people and toward the country. They will survey the people if it will be helpful or a harmful. If they see that more advantages is in bitcoin toward their treasury then they will not banned it, but if there are more disadvantages they will close the door to bitcoin and reopen it if the advantages is for them.

The news is not fake but still, people can freely use any cryptocurrency they want. India is also suffering from the same misunderstanding government has banned Bitcoin and another cryptocurrency from higher authority where it will not be taken as a real currency all it will not have the actual value in the country but still common people can use it for whatever purpose the like, of course, they have to pay some amount of income tax on it if they are going to use it for business purposes. IRS will not leave you on this.

Didnt korea ban it also? im sure there was a small crash and news about it?

I don't trust any replies in here, so inm my eyes bitcoin is ok everywhere, the only point is that it might be regulated a bit in some countries.

I invest and basically I think while it grows it is necessary to invest further it will probably rise to 30-50 thousand dollars.

This picture may be a sign that Indonesia is beginning to recognize blockchain technology. Crypto activists in Indonesia began to campaign technology to various agencies and campuses.

It is sad to know that other countries are banning bitcoin. Our country is still supporting bitcoin. I hope that other countries will be supporting bitcoin in the future. May their government is not yet fully educated about bitcoin.
