I don't know whether you have been to Bali or not but Bali is one of the world's tourist destinations, unfortunately Bali still has a governor who is not friendly to bitcoins and cryptocurrencies so he informs every tourist not to use bitcoins as payment. Previously, the governor of Bali (his name is Wayan Koster) had gone viral because he refused to allow the Israeli national team to play in the U20 World Cup, previously Indonesia was chosen as the host.

with rules like this, do you still want to go to bali?
I live in Indonesia and I really understand why this governor said and stated this.
This is because of the regulation and laws in my country regarding Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Crypto, including Bitcoin is LEGAL as a comodity asset, but NOT LEGAL as a currency for payment method.
So, he is not wrong because as a governor, he carries out the orders and regulations of the law.
And I don't think this will dampen the desire to go there. There are still many ways to pay there and we are also welcomed everyone to visit Bali and all tourism objects in the country, as long as following the rule and regulations of the country. And I am also sure that other countries also have different rules and regulations about something else, and we must obey whatever it is.
