Because to my knowledge there are several countries in southeast asia that have not legalized bitcoin. And what is our endeavor for bitcoin in southeast asia to be legal like any other country (which has legalized bitcoin).
Will the impact be positive or negative?
that's very possible, in fact just a couple of day past, I read that Malaysia is now getting stronger into blockchain technology, which I think the their government over that nation are now widely opened unto it. Not only that together with Japan, China, Korea, vietnam, and Philippines are also now aware of blockchain or digital currencies.
I really hope that Indonesia can legalize Bitcoin later on, and unfortunately our government is not ready to legalize it, because the Bank's competition against Bitcoin, often issues Issues to drop bitcoin in everyone's eyes, but all bitcoin users in Indonesia make a breakthrough, so the Indonesian government can accept and legalize Bitcoin as a digital currency ..
If your country accept the Bitcoin to be legally used by the people in their country at any time they will definitely face lot of problems and need lot of solution for that so legalizing is not a easy thing to do if your country legalize it they can definitely be a good economics thinking country in the world.
