Only a small fraction of this forum's populace really knows the nitty-gritty of Bitcoin. Most treat it as an asset just like stocks and bonds. The struggles of Bitcoin adoption don't end with lifting the ban. Spreading awareness is the most difficult challenge it has to overcome. In almost every country, lawmakers and bankers are from the old generations. From where I'm from, lawmakers know very little about Bitcoin, or cryptocurrency in general, so no one is forward-thinking enough to pass laws meant to advance the adoption process. If anything, the laws they make is to add more restrictions so bitcoin can't get through. We need younger and more open-minded lawmakers and leaders. But seeing more countries joining the rank is progress, indeed.
