It would be great to complete the list of countries in which bitcoin is banned with information about the punishment (not every country has fines or other penalties) for buying / selling, owning, or even just because someone looked in the direction of btc. The last point is a joke .

The first thing that catches eye in this list is that there is not a single developed European country there, and this forces us to draw certain conclusions. It turns out that bitcoin is banned for the most part in third world countries, with a weak economy, weak technologically, or where there are totalitarian tendencies that try to control citizens as much as possible. These countries are already lagging behind on the world stage and ban bitcoin will further tear them away from the leading countries. Those countries that allow technology to develop, those are progressing, and those countries that are on the list are likely to pause progress.

I'm sure this list will change. That is, new countries will be added and maybe some of the list will become more loyal to bitcoin after a while.
