It is indeed a sad news, bitcoin supposed to be a freedom currency that can be used without the control of the government, however some selfish person used it illegally and breaking the country laws, that is why some of the country forbid it, if we can increase the bitcoin reputation i think it will wonderful to be able to use bitcoin everywhere
no i do not think that it is a bad news that it is not under the control of government actually it is a universal currency and therefore it cannot be under the control of any country
yes that is right to say that bitocin is a universal currency and is decentralize, therefore is is not under the control of any state or country. and that is the beauty of bitcoin that it has the same value in all over the world.
