Even in my country the government says that bitcoin is not a legal payment. Even though they have never completely banned the existence of bitcoin. Maybe you can't accept it because of the nature of bitcoin which is difficult to track if government elements do money laundering, corruption, etc.. this may be the government's consideration so that the government gives a statement that bitcoin is not a legal tender.
Well there are some countries that did not take action to put a law on a cryptocurrency, they keep neutral on it. Because they know that banning bitcoin is useless and sounds like they are a fool banning bitcoin while their people can still use it, the reason bitcoin until now exist because of this because ain fact government has really nothing to do. There is various reasons why the government did not accept bitcoin and we are very lucky that our government was in a neutral position about bitcoin.
Actually the reason most countries reject Bitcoin, is because they can't control Bitcoin. Don't ban Bitcoin because of this, even though Bitcoin
can't be controlled, I think Bitcoin has great benefits. So I have more respect for countries that are neutral than countries that ban Bitcoin.
Even though as we know banning Bitcoin is useless, because of the fact that countries that prohibit Bitcoin, residents can still use Bitcoin.
Why are countries that ban Bitcoin closed-minded and selfish, they should give Bitcoin a chance by being neutral first, do not immediately rush
to ban Bitcoin.
