This is the reason why Bitcoin has been locked in several countries.
you mean "banned"?
if yes, then there has not been any new country that banned bitcoin for many years. there is the same handful of countries like Bangladesh that banned bitcoin many years ago and have not changed their stance while the rest of 99% of the world have accepted bitcoin more or less.
And even in Bangladesh where Bitcoin is declared illegal and arrests are made, the people are still pretty much into Bitcoin. Bangladeshis are buying and selling Bitcoin. They are in this forum as well, discussing and talking about Bitcoin, and working for Bitcoin. As a matter of fact,
"The Bitcoin Cafe" is still in Bangladesh serving hot coffee until now (I hope). There you go. There is nothing and no one that can stop Bitcoin.
I agree with you. Although the government banned bitcoin, people in Bangladesh still use it and trade every day, I have a lot of friends in Bangladesh and in their country bitcoin and cryptocurrency are very popular, most people in them know to bitcoin. Government can ban it but they can't stop it thoroughly, there are many different ways people can use and invest in this market.
