As we all know few countries are banning cryptocurrencies.
no we don't know that.
what we know is that some countries banned bitcoin in the very first years. and some have been talking about it with contradictory stances against and for bitcoin.
But are the people aware of cryptocurrencies' existence before it gets banned / legalized in their country?
the source of knowing about bitcoin is not the "ban/legalize" news. people usually find out about bitcoin when someone else tells them about it like a friend sharing a link via email or face to face. or hear about it in the news when they talk about it.
