In Bangladesh, people are not allowed to use bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Govt has declared it illegal. The great news is our current Finance Ministry is thinking over it and we will probably be seen Bitcoin legal in the coming years.
In Dhanmondi, there's a cafe namely "The Bitcoin Cafe". Although they don't accept bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, I see it as a great way of promotion, people will learn more about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. I have visited this cafe 2 times and asked to pay with Bitcoin but he wasn't agreed.

The fact that bitcoin is illegal there, I found it amazing how brave the owner is to promote and even directly naming his cafe with "Bitcoin".

Don't know what's terms included on the law declaring bitcoin or any other crypto as illegal there but any form of an advertisement on such illegal things is punishable by law at most of the cases. I just wondered how come the owner can freely operate his business? Or maybe like a form of a small protest or rally as part of freedom of speech?

On a positive note, great that they are looking forward now for making bitcoin as legal currency there.
