I come from Indonesia. I think you need to explain the truth about what you have conveyed in this topic so that people don't misunderstand Indonesia's condition regarding crypto because Indonesia as one of the Asian countries is very friendly to anyone.
Regarding crypto, Indonesia also allows it as a commodity asset.

In taking a reference, you need to look at the contents written by the source, is the delivery of the news accurate?
I am purely Indonesian and the location where I live now is in Siantar, I do not mean to discuss that the Indonesian government prohibits bitcoin, but bitcoin cannot be used as a means of payment in Indonesia, especially Bali.

I brought up the topic above because one of my friends is a motorbike rental service provider located in Bali, he found some tourists asking him about whether he accepts motorbike rental payments with bitcoin, he said no because he was afraid he would be caught by the police, some tourists have canceled renting motorbikes from him because they heard my friend doesn't want to transact with bitcoin (I don't know if this is a trap or a real tourist).
