The government in our country knew about bitcoin and even major media outlets are talking about it. They didn't make bitcoin illegal but instead warn the people to always be careful in our money because it is not regulated so they cannot protect the people in case of issues. Many are still thinking it is scam but there are also some who are making bitcoin their main source of income because earnings in bitcoin are higher than working offline for some people who earn the minimum amount of salary and the recent surge of bitcoin price proves this making some earn double than their previous jobs.
The government has not yet been announced bitcoin in my country neither legal nor illegal. People of my country are fluently investing in bitcoin and also changing bitcoin into fiat through exchange.
