Today, while I was surfing through the forum, I came across a post in which someone complained about bitcointalk.org not loading in Turkey. Under his post were several replies that explained that the site happens to be blocked by some internet service providers (which is sad).
A few days ago, I made a post in which I asked
"What have you done to promote the Blockchain technology & cryptocurrencies?".
I went through several replies which were pleasing and supportive to the Blockchain technology. Amongst them, someone said that he wore bitcoin shirts around (an ideology I really admire). Another said that he created a facebook page (also interesting).
Just recently, I saw a complain from someone in my country. According to the screenshot which contained a mail from his bank, it said that his bank account has been frozen because they found out that it has something to do with virtual trading (cryptocurrency). Not only was I surprised, I was provoked. You know, one of my plans was to buy numerous Bitcoin and Ethereum polo shirt and wear them (to help promote). However, as it stands right now, I'm afraid I can't do that because I could be held as a user of cryptocurrency. Though this isn't any easy, I'll still keep trying what I can to spread the word. The Blockchain technology gospel must be heard!!!
Despite of us being a crypto enthusiast and accepting, there are still countries that doesn't accept bitcoin or the whole variety of cryptography in their economy to the point that they prohibit their county people to use it. Some legalized and are actually using it for their transactions like in Singapore, Japan, Philippines, Morocco, U.S, Argentina, Lebanon, Turkey, UAE and many more. And if there are those who accepted it, there are also some who don't, they either legalize or banned it some of those countries are Algeria, Bolivia, Ecuador, Bangladesh, Nepal, and macedonia. It's so unfortunate of you for you might be in the said country who didn't legalize or had it banned.
