I think it is used by some people there, government can't ban Bitcoin as long as there is Internet connection accessibility.

In North Korea it isn't a democratic government, but dictatorship. Use of internet is highly restricted, only a small majority have access to internet. There are some rumors about the North Korean government's interest in bitcoin

1. It is rumored that the WannaCry ransomware is linked to NK.

2. It is rumored that state backed bitcoin mining operations are going on in NK.

3. It is rumored that state backed hackers stole bitcoin from South Korean exchanges.

You beat me to the punch mate. This is also what I'm thinking as well. There are rumored that state (North Korea) sponsored attack have been running for years now and been heightened when the son took over. And another rumored I read is that the man himself has thousand of bitcoins at his disposal. LOL.

Is it allowed to use and trade Bitcoin and other currencies in North Korea ? and is there any North korean members of this forum ?

Because I heard even the Internet connection is only available for a few number of people there

I think they are not allowed inside North Korea because being a dictatorship, every move are being monitored including the Internet. So I highly doubt that they can ordinary citizens can used Internet regularly to buy or trade bitcoin. As I see it, only governments have access to it and likely they won't used it just for the daily bitcoin activity.
