As i am from country where bitcoin is stated to be a illegal currency so, its ok to earn form small services and signature campaign here and hold my bitcoins ?
I need some suggestions ?
I love bitcoin and i can't leave it !

Where you from?
I don't think bitcoin is illegal currency, may be your government not accept it and your country not use the bitcoin in official lever. So it don't mean that you say that bitcoin is illegal currency.
It is online currency, and most of the countries not accept it but instead of this people are using the bitcoin and invest in it.

He's not saying bitcoin is illegal generally. he's talking only about his country. you may don't know but some countries, govt and banks don't like bitcoin much and want that bitcoin should not be used in their county and their peoples.
so OP's simply mean that bitcoin is illegal in his country. but I think OP can still use bitcoin because govt can't really control bitcoin. and can't stop you to use bitcoin.
Don't try and reason with these people, just report their posts. They're just trying to increase their post count for their signature campaigns by answering bullshit without even reading the first post.

In OP's case, I would just take the necessary precautions to make sure that your ISP can't see that you're involved with Bitcoin.
Use a VPN to be on the safe side and if you want to 'withdraw' your Bitcoins, just do it via a Bitcoin debit card.
