I just saw a news that yesterday  Brac Bank Talking  about blockchain technology and they also working to legal blockchain technology.Maybe this is the first time any Bank in Bangladesh talking about blockchain.Though few months ago Bangladeshi PM told that blockchain technology will be legal soon.Now just waiting for confirmation that bitcoin (blockchain) is accepted.Because we faced many problem to use btc,even few people arrested.also in 2018 one people scammed me 4-5.5K$ worth of crypto currency.who live in Bangladesh. Even he scammed maybe more than 300k$ from 20-30 peoples.Though i have all kind of proof but i didn’t take any steps because crypto is illegal.I didn't take any steps.because police can arrest me for using bitcoin.

I find this quite ironic that I can't imagine why your Government got so strict with cryptocurrencies when all the while the Bangladesh Central Bank became a victim of  the infamous cyber heist which I think was the result of having a centralized banking system.

Now, legalizing blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies would be good for your country and I hope your Government is on the right path to achieve  and adopt it but first they must have a legal framework to build upon these blockchain aspirations.
