In the country that I live, Bitcoin has a stigma of being a scam because our own government warn the public to not engage on Bitcoin investment due to a lot of scam involves it and the volatility is high. Most of the people here including the old professional don’t dare to touch it despite Bitcoin already has good price history.
I have been involved with this forum for 10 years. Bitcoin is not valid in my country. Yet I continue to work without harassment in my country with Bitcoin transactions. I can exchange bitcoins from the bank to my local currency. But I never got into administrative trouble. I appeal to the government to legalize bitcoin in the next budget considering the unemployment rate in my country. Since Bitcoin is not legal, we can use it without any tax, but if Bitcoin is legal, we can use it more boldly in transactions and all activities. We will be able to enable Bitcoin transactions in various businesses, which we cannot do now. I have always respected bitcoin because with bitcoin I was able to run my life in the Sundarbans. But I hope very soon all countries will accept Bitcoin and we will move forward to live a better life using Bitcoin.
