This is disappointing, Taiwan declares Bitcoin illegal essentially because of a kidnapping that used Bitcoin for the ransom. Why don't they declare TWD illegal? I'm sure that is used in all other criminal activity.

Youch, that is a bit harsh. I thought Taiwan was fairly friendly when it came to digital currency. I'm not sure how that will be helpful for the Taiwanese people. I'm sure this won't stop criminals from using digital currency, but will certainly prevent the average person from using it and prevent business and technology development in Taiwan.

I agree, quite harsh. I am sure there will be backlash and this will be reversed. I can only hope otherwise another bad press story on cryptocurrency. I do wish NEWS would report the good as well as the bad, but alas bad NEWS is what sells.


The Taiwanese government should have read the DNotes Educational Guide.  One of the questions in the quiz is: "Blaming bitcoin for criminal activity is like blaming kidnapping on cash."  True / False  

Even if the government official had answered false incorrectly, the app would have corrected their misconceptions.   Just saying...   Wink

I know huh, we will have to figure out a way to promote that a bit more. It's a great tool.
