i don't use bitcoin at all. I try to keep it and wait for its price to go up and then i sell it to get some profit. That is because in my country the government does not accept bitcoin as a currency and it is still illegal to use bitcoin right now to buy food, etc. So my only choice is to hold them in my wallet
I don't think that bitcoin is illegal in most of the countries, even if its not getting support from Government that doesn't makes it illegal, if you can easily convert it to your local currency then everything is fine.
Yep it is not illegal. Here in our country I can use it to pay for my bills including credit cards, electricity and water. I could even load my cellphone as they are partnered with the two biggest network provider here. In addition to that I can even use it to pay my loans and tuition fees. How cool is that. Though there is regulation that we cannot use it for gambling sites. We can buy bitcoins through the 7 11 stores, banks, and even to cash remittances available in our country.
