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).

But if you read over and over what you have said, it seems that the Governor of Bali is very anti-crypto.
The chronology of the case of the arrest of a person who received Bitcoin payments at a car rental service in Bali according to a press conference conducted by the police, it is clear that the perpetrator was guilty even though there was an explanation from the party who was caught.

The Governor of Bali has indeed said that he will give strict sanctions to anyone who makes a payment transaction using a currency other than fiat currency which is legal in Indonesia. In our opinion, this is something that needs to be emphasized, considering that Indonesia has not yet allowed cryptocurrencies as a legal means of payment.

To avoid misunderstanding, you better lock this thread.
