Though I'm new in the cryptocurrency space,I have been hearing so much about crypto ( Bitcoin precisely) lately even before I got registered on the forum and I had to ask this very question because in three days I've heard and seen people talk and discuss about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general and it prompted my question wanting to know why it has been talked about this much and gaining more acceptance in my local community despite it's restrictions in my country and is it also gaining this much fame in your environment?
Bitcoin is gaining popularity in my neighborhood, but they prefer to discuss it when they are hanging out somewhere with not many people because they think that for now, it is better not to be too public about bitcoin. Bitcoin gets more regulations from the government because many people have experienced fraud from investment programs that have harmed many people, so the government has applied many rules to anticipate this.

Bitcoin is gaining fame because people believe that it can potentially disrupt the current financial system. The current financial system is monopolistic and doesn't provide much opportunities of growth to an average person. Bitcoin is a revolutionary concept in the world of finance as it is deflationary and decentralized & its network can be used to make transaction across the border within minutes without involving any financial institution. Bitcoin's underlying technology, blockchain, also has the potential to be used in a wide range of industries, and as a result it has been gaining attention of media all over the world.

Bitcoin isn't gaining that much popularity in my environment. I live in a small town, where most of the people are boomers, who don't know that much about technology and computers. Grin
Anyway, Bitcoin is getting so much fame because it appears more often on the news, even on bad news about crypto scams or ransomware being used to hack various systems. You know the saying "there's no such thing as bad advertising".
I wouldn't say that Bitcoin is being restricted, it's just the regulatory frame surrounding Bitcoin is pretty unclear in many countries around the world, so many people don't know if Bitcoin is allowed or banned in their jurisdictions.

Things or people can still get popular, that is become famous and have fame both with a positive review and a negative review about them. It takes very good news or very bad news for things to trend because people get to hear about it in those situations.

 So OP, bitcoin is still getting attention even  though some governments have labelled it as bad and placed restrictions on it because as it is restricted, the people in that country will have to be updated with what the government has just restricted, in doing so more persons hear about bitcoins. I understand that this can be a kind of negative publicity for bitcoins, but the truth is that people will always get to find out after a while of hearing the government's side and reason for the restrictions, the real truth, the identity, the benefits and reason behind the creation of bitcoins which threatens government institution and what the government is really afraid of.

No matter the restrictions, the Bitcoin will keep getting popular as those who love decentralization when it comes to carrying out transactions will always choose bitcoin over every other form of payment. Bitcoin is also seen as a great means of investment which is superior to the trading of stocks. Bitcoin can make you huge profit with short period but can also mar your financial strength when it falls.

This is easy, after a long bear market bitcoin has presented a good recovery during the previous days, and while we are still not entirely sure if the bear market is finally over, at least this gives holders and traders alike a chance to grab some profits.

And even if the profits are small for the standards of this market, bitcoin has grown 40% which is a big amount compared to other markets and if you use leverage the amount is even larger than that, so as you can see there is a strong justification why your are hearing so much about bitcoin at your community.

Not only you, but this problem I have met many times before from friends who want to learn about it, firstly I want to tell you to try to learn some basic concepts with bitcoin in WPP , then look back at its history. I see the problem that a lot of people today are losing their knowledge of basic concepts, it's easier to imagine when we talk about a problem of knowledge in a university environment for a newborn child, it will cannot feel. And that's it first, and then if you've gotten to know BTC better, then I think like me or many others here will no longer wonder about this very issue.

Bitcoin doesn't really have that much fame in my opinion. We hear about it in the media from time to time but I don't consider it "fame" because it doesn't have corresponding adoption and adoption is the only "fame" bitcoin needs or has. We all know bitcoin adoption is still very small globally.

As for the reason for whatever amount of "fame" bitcoin has, it is pretty obvious if you ask me. Bitcoin offers a very unique set of utilities that people can not find elsewhere. There is no other currency in the world that can give you financial sovereignty and appreciate in value over long term.
Despite the lack of official support or widespread acceptance, bitcoin has created an ecosystem where many people are willing to trade and accept it almost all over the world, and some users find bitcoin more valuable or more useful than other currencies, because bitcoin transactions do not take time. the old way and how to use it is also very easy and fast, even the tax for sending bitcoin transactions is also cheaper compared to bank taxes or other services, bitcoin has also spread far, there are even 14 major world companies already using blockchain technology and several countries actually want to clone bitcoin , because bitcoin is very good.

Bitcoin = Financial freedom

Bitcoin gaining a much fame because most of countries doesn't ban Bitcoin and there are few country already accept it as legal tender.
I don't know where OP is from but from the past, I remember whenever China tried to ban bitcoin it backfired by gaining more popularity and value so it all depends on how people see it and what the government is trying to do with it.

In this 2023, almost the community exposed what bitcoin is capable of which forcing the governments to make it legal or regulate it as an asset since they found they literally can't ban bitcoin unless their blackout internet worldwide forever.

It can be said that bitcoin is a multifunctional asset that can be used as a currency, a payment method...But what makes it so famous and tied to its growth is its volatility, thanks to volatility, it can generate bigger returns than other types of investments. But I don't think bitcoin is becoming so popular that, as you say, most people in the world still don't know about bitcoin. The crypto or bitcoin community is still very modest and that is an advantage for us. We are the pioneers of this revolution, so we need to take advantage of this opportunity before it becomes more widespread.

Words spreads faster than a wild fire because of the social media. Once people heard about a very profiting investment, they tend to jump quickly into it, and as a result, scammers always takes advantage of these human weaknesses.
So, the popularity Bitcoin has gained is a mixed positive and negative feedback. You can see Bitcoin enthusiast as much as anti-Bitcoin.
So, the more people talks about Bitcoin, regardless if it's a positive or negative feedback, the popularity will gradually grow.

Am just wondering how it's possible when the country restrict or not allow their citizens to use Bitcoin but people are keep use it and talk about Bitcoin in that's country?

When the government is restrict and ban Bitcoin usage, I believe if someone report you to police, you would face legal law and might go to jail isn't? Even you can prove if you're not use Bitcoin for money laundering, scam, illegal, etc.

Bitcoin gaining a much fame because most of countries doesn't ban Bitcoin and there are few country already accept it as legal tender.

Because bitcoin has a limited supply so that many people are interested in investing with bitcoin, basically many investors, of course, they will be more interested in investing in rare goods such as gold and silver as well as bitcoin which has only 21 million in stock, moreover bitcoin is believed to be has a higher value during halvings and so far it has been proven that halving events always make bitcoin movement experience massive pumping and are able to create new ATH after that.
Bitcoin is one of the assets that is very promising to invest because it offers large returns, so it's no wonder that currently bitcoin's popularity is increasing among the public.

Because Bitcoin was around long before the restrictions were placed.

And actually, some of the restrictions are not placed by your government or the government of the exchange's country of incorporation, but by the KYC provider itself! As in, they deny your passport taken from your (live) camera for God knows why, and for other countries, they only take passports and ID cards are not listed.

My guess is that Bitcoin or crypto has become a topic because of its price. When the price rises fast, it suddenly becomes a hot topic. When the price nosedives fast, it also becomes a hot topic. Or when there are big news like the sudden death of Terra or the fall of FTX.

Whatever, at least Bitcoin or crypto has caught the attention of people. I'd like to believe that there's no right or wrong start for as long as it ends up with the familiarization and appreciation of the technology.

[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope
I think it's thanks to the news media by all means, contradictions, hyperbole, even "assassinate" attempts, although really they are just taking advantage in the number of views.
From a technical point of view, Bitcoin is still not restricted (censorship). An alternative way for policies to make boundaries appear to work and be effective is to limit users, resources/infrastructure, etc.

When there is something new and promising for the future, everyone will compete with their greed to take advantage of that condition, and now it's happening in bitcoin, with conditions that are currently quite good in terms of technology, and lots of people have jumped in here and got results. the good thing is that not a few people follow things like this and maybe even one of them is myself, even though at first I didn't really like bitcoin, but gradually with different views I switched to bitcoin until now.
On the other hand, today's era has progressed and with lots of searches about bitcoin on the internet, it will obviously improve their algorithm so that it becomes increasingly booming and more and more people will be looking for it.

Dear as you know the way to heaven and the way to rightness goes from a difficult path. Actually, in poetry, the destination is nothing but the path is everything so applying this concept to Bitcoin. When there is great fall dear from there a great rise starts this is nature. Gold is purified in fire and Bitcoin is purified in the Restrictions in adoption.

No matter how government of a country ban bitcoin, citizens will definitely find a way to buy and sell their bitcoin, even if they can't use it to buy things in the country. When the Central bank of my country was banning accounts that have been linked with crypto transactions, I was suprised that bitcoin was gaining more popularity in my country during that particular time, no matter how government try to ban bitcoin, people will definitely still look for a way to trade it in the country.
