I think for bitcoin to be a real currency, government have to accept it first.

So I ask what country do you think will recognize it as a currency?

Trying to say as official currency? No. This is not going to happen anyway, they will only treat bitcoin as a payment method but never as an official currency. Are you not still satisfied for those countries that are recognizing bitcoin and they are helping the economy of bitcoin to grow? Try to clear it bitcoin has been recognized by different countries as a currency but if official currency or becoming their main currency, no.

Bitcoin will never be currency its a virtual currency that we are using online. Bitcoin is just made for online payments..
And i think we will not see any country will use bitcoin as official currency but there are some country that bitcoin is legal..
Like japan, paris and brazil this is what i collected as of now that accepting bitcoin locally as legal..

Also here i think in my country nearly that bitcoin will be use locally since there are people here are using bitcoin to buy or sell product online that only can be sell here in philippines and they use bitcoin as payment gateway. .

When Bitcoin adoption increases and when many people start lefting fiat to deal only with BTCs the governments will try to regulate Bitcoin somehow. The question is how each government will do this. It will depend the characteristics of these governments, if they are more liberal the impacts won't be so hard, but if they are regulatory, controllers it will be worse for Bitcoin enthusiasts.

There are categories on what kind of currency you are pertaining to but as far as i understand you are mentioning here about bitcoin being legalized and making it as the main currency of a certain country.I would say there no country would do such thing.They might able to adopt it but replacing their own local fiat currency would really be an impossible thing to happen.

Bitcoin is indeed a real currency. There are countries who are moving in positive direction of recognizing bitcoin as currency. For that matter Japan has already recognized bitcoin as currency. [1]
Russia is also trying to get hold of bitcoin. One big problem with the bitcoin as currency acceptance is bitcoins nature of decentralized. This lack of control is something bothering govts to act against bitcoin or trade water safely.

You are quite on the right track. You raised two salient points which are different in there own zones but attending to the core issue. One is that which points op to the fact that countries are already being positive about bitcoin, Japan being in the pack. The other point is that which points to the fear of governments as to the decentralized and uncontrollable nature of bitcoin. To this fact, I think governments would speedily adopt bitcoin if they are able to implore means to check or control it.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are very volatile right now, The elites that control the global banking system and governments will never let crypto become a thing unless they have total control over., they might get banned in some countries, but I think they will never go away, So recognize Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency Must accept the Philosophy of the new technology of blockchain. I blieve a lot of democratic countries need to take the opportunity first.

Bitcoin is actually a real but digital currency. Why do you think that government should accept bitcoin for it to become real currency? As long as we use it as a form of paying for goods, it is a "currency". Japan recognizes bitcoin as a legal payment method, and other countries will soon follow.

Yes, very well said. They have to recognize it first before declaring it as a real currency just to show their support and interest to bitcoin for the public.

No one knows and this is impossible to happen, there will be no country that is interested of replacing their very own local currency in exchange for a decentralized cryptocurrency. That will be a risky market and economy for a country that will do that.

Japan, Canada, South Korea, Philippines and some democratic countries, some of them already recognize it and some have doubts, the majority are all bitcoin free countries that have some regulation in terms of the ICO and some exchanges as the fraud and criminality are vulnerable because btc is the currency of anomity. To accept it as a real currency, the government should make a regulation or a system without compromising the primary attributes of the bitcoin by making the it safer and efficient to use as the criminals will tend to use it for their illegal transaction.

I doubt that Russia will adopt bitcoin. For me they are anti crypto-currency. And all the things that they have said for bitcoin and crypto is always changing. So I bet that they are really against any crypto for now.
Its legal tender in Japan. But its not their official currency. It is still Yen. And for that matter, I doubt that any country would make bitcoin their official currency. Its decentralized, volatile. The government or Central Banks of any country don't want any of that nature because its can really affect them financially. They want something that is stable and can be control.

In every country has their own standard currency I don't think that BTC is become their legal tender,but once BTC is recognizes it has a exchange value in different currency worldwide it will compete any currency in the world.

Haven't Japan already done that? I believe bitcoin is accepted as legal tender in Japan, so it has to be recognized as a currency in order to have that status. So I think your question was already answered by Japan government. Although they are the most evolved when it comes to bitcoin regulation, I think bitcoin can already be used as a payment in many other countries as well.

Official currency means a currency that's accepted by the government fully and all the transaction and everything that takes place in that country are through that currency only.
Quite frankly changing a currency takes a lot of time, documents , signature of various authorities and many more legal works as required by the government that we Don't even know about.
Firstly this action needs to be passed through multiples tires of the government and I doubt if every single one of them would agree to pass it, also for any commodity for the use of that bitcoins as currency you will also need to talk with the companies and ask them to write...0.00002 btc on the back of the chocolate that they make and it will be very hectic...the chocolate is today for 1 dollar oh no tomorrow it is for 5 dollars... Idk if you are getting it or not but.. thats practically impossible.
They can recognize it and make it legal but not use it as an official currency.

This will only be in anyone's wildest dream if they think any government will decide to use bitcoin as official currency. The highest that will happen is for it to be adopted and also used as a means of payment alongside the normal currency which is still not a bad idea.

I do not see how such situation of using as an official currency can easily play out. However, some few countries are already shifting gear towards its adoption while some already have declared their interest.

I would class a currency as something anyone would be willing to accept. I'm not very interested in whether government accepts it. You can't buy your morning coffee with treasury bonds.

There are examples of local government looking into accepting it. There's a canton in Switzerland doing that and a few US states have proposed it for paying state taxes. As ever, all they'd be doing is converting it so you're using BTC in the same way as a debit card which doesn't really qualify as accepting it.

I don't think a national government would ever give it that level of endorsement.

It's Autraslia. I can give you a quote to improve this : " Lawmakers in Australia are reportedly pushing for the recognition of bitcoin as an official currency. According the Sydney Morning Herald, representatives from the country's centre and left-leaning political parties are behind the ambitious initiative, one that comes amid a broader call for the government to better accommodate blockchain technology and its evangelists."

Maybe in the future bitcoin is not known as currency, but it will be known as a tool to transact on the internet and in the real world, because the use of bitcoin is very flexible and very simple too fast. I do not expect bitcoin to be known as currency, but I hope bitcoin is known as a legitimate means of transactions around the world.

I thinks bitcoin will be more than a currency. Currency is a system of money in general use in a particular country. Since bitcoin can use in different countries. It would be more than that. Mostly like a gold which is recognize around the world because of its importance.

I believe Japan and Australia is having the legal status for bitcoin in their regulatory system and they are being used mode of payment everywhere.

If you are thinking that currency means actual currency where bitcoin will replace the traditional currency then I'm sure no government will allow that. It will not be just possible to change the traditional currency which people are using since couple of hundreds years and that too so close to everyone that they will never accept new form of currency. May be that's why government won't go off the track.

No country will

. All the countries will trust their own currency rather then depending on a currency whose price fluctuates a lot and even takes alot of time to confirm sometimes . So why to use such a currency when every country has its own well established currency
