Damn. No freedom for their own citizens to choose their own payment methods?
I honestly agree with that. Bitcoin being a decentralized currency, I.e it's not controlled by anyone and transactions can be viewed by all. It offers the freedom to do whatever you wish to do. I think the concept of bitcoin does not support dictatorship.
Bitcoin gives us the basic human rights attribute( freedom) which was the first thing that lured me into the crypto market.
Citizens should be allowed to make their own choices. As well as choosing their medium of payment.
In other news, in a matter of hours, they just lost 10% in the value of their assets. If you think Bitcoin is suitable for major countries to actually adopt, then you're just wrong. It is nothing more than free PR, no government in the world would ever give up the privilege of printing money and tracking their own citizens. It's not that I don't think Bitcoin is totally unsuitable for your daily transactions, but it is just wrong to think that they're doing it purely because they actually want to adopt Bitcoin as a currency.
If they're not adopting it as a better medium for a transaction exchange;
Are they adopting it for PUBLICATION purposes (since they're not a popular nation)??
Are they adopting it to gain an increase in the nearest FUTURE??
Do you think it's a negative move on the crypto market??
