Crypto Currencies is facing local law policies many where: Local law can be a barrier for many countries to accelerate the blockchain industry. I read the sentiment of many people where the bitcoin or concurrency is not legally authorized but they are very much excited to use this technology. I think, a global revelation only can bring those countries to be inspired.
First of all, cryptocurrencies =/= blockchain, or blockchain =/= Bitcoin. There are countries where blockchain is much appreciated even if Bitcoin is not. Even a good number of banks are appreciating the blockchain technology, even using them, but they are not in favor of the likes of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. In my local setting, a few banks are already playing with blockchain but a mere mention of Bitcoin or cryptocurrency when opening an account could be enough for your application to get rejected.
