I have heard that bitcoin is not supported in some countries. But why ? Is it because bitcoin is risky ? Some countries even declare 6 months jail if her people use bitcoin. Is it fair ? I mined few cryptos and have left mining. It was fun and challenging too. But I never got any clear answer. What does my gpu actually do ? I pay electric bill, my room temperature goes high and I get paid. With actually no skill on pc hardware and software. Whole thing is still pretty unclear to me
Their are many countries that didn't support bitcoin or has stop supporting bitcoin.
With regards to reasons, their are plenty of reasons why they are doing it.
Most common reason is that bitcoin is being use by some people to scam others which really hurt the good reputation of bitcoin.
- I do not think that's the most common reason, the most common reason I think is we should know that bitcoin is anonymous, it is very suitable for illegal activities, that leads to the government of some countries not wanting to support bitcoin
- However, I believe that someday, when Bitcoin became popular and developed, they will accept support Bitcoin because although bitcoin may be a tool for carrying out illegal activities but investing in it will bring a huge profit, this will improve the lives of many people, and from there, the economy of the country will develop, if they do not accept support it, their economic development will slow more than other countries, they will not want this to happen
you dont seem to realize, or are just ignoring the fact, that anything of value in this world can be used for illegal purposes. got a stack of bills? great. you can now buy a gun illegally from that one guy you know. or a pound of weed, doesn't matter, it's still illegal. and bitcoin didn't have anything to do with the trade. however, your point does still stand; bitcoin is extremely suited for illegal trades simply because of the fact that it is pseudoanonymous, and can be sent to anyone with an address (although in most cases trust is a pretty big factor). rather than its compatibility with illegal markets, i think it's more the fact that it is decentralized and uncontrollable that pushes governments away from bitcoin; governments exist to mediate and control, and bitcoin goes against both of those.
