I am very happy if there is a country in which there is a culinary company or a restaurant that receives payments with bitcoin, although in the country prohibits bitcoin.
like in bali, there is a restaurant that receives payment with bitcoin, but a few days ago I watched a show on television that the security forces closed the restaurant.
why are the security so evil? they only use it for food payments, not for criminals. or do they equate bitcoin payments as a crime? it's very unreasonable.
what do you think about it ?
They closed it because the Indonesian government has implemented a full ban on bitcoin and cryptos. And it says that Bali has been the center of bitcoin exchanges, well it doesn't surprise me because that's a haven for tourist. And they brought bitcoins with them, exchange it to local fiat.

Its really hard to question their intentions. But just like any governments around the world that bans bitcoin, they only look at the bad side of bitcoin (used by criminals). I think that restaurant was closed because of that same (illogical) reason. Really sad to hear it though, but bitcoin is unstoppable. Their will be still trades going underground in Bali or in Indonesia.
