as long they still not force to close the local exchanger, i think nothing to worry about it. even we can't adopt it as payment but at least trading activity still allowed in Indonesia, it is already good

There is a chance that they will force Bitcoin exchange to close. This time is different, they clearly mentioned that no financial firms should process Bitcoin-related payments, including banks. Now if banks aren't allowed to process Bitcoin related transaction, how will the exchange received and send IDR to user?

It doesn't matter - Indonesians will still buy, hold and sell.

It does matter a lot. How could we buy and sell if the banks and all payment system service providers aren't allowed to process Bitcoin-related IDR transaction? We will be forced to sell and buy Bitcoin over-the-counter (off exchange). That's a huge drawback considering our biggest market currently has a daily trading volume as high as $15 million
