I'm curious, how big are cryptos in your country? Are they still collectively referred to as bitcoin, or do news reports and local media actually dive into their merit and the difference between coins, projects, companies etc. I'm from Canada and most of the current news is wavering between reports of malware installing mining agents and the Canadian Security Exchange cracking down on ICO sales.
My country is not against cryptocurrency, but they are still doubting it because of people who are using the name of bitcoin to scam other people. Also the other problem we have is the biased media, they are reporting bullshits which is not even true, they are adding up stories which they have invented to fool other people, how pathetic, no wonder we are not making any progress here in our country because we seek for "change" yet most of us here can't begin the change from themselves.
There are people though who knows cryptocurrency here in our country, they do mining, trading, and even bounty hunting, all of the ways just to earn cryptocurrency, the president is cool with it, I'm not hearing any news that they are going to ban it or something worst.
