The information is so misleading in many ways. Most of these countries still have active users and as stated by few users the countries that you have mentioned like Egypt, India, Russia, Kosovo and turkey are highly active in the crypto currency trading. You really need to verify the source and also verify information from at least different sources or local sources of those countries. The best way to do this is ask the local boards to participate in this voting and ask the actual situation about bitcoin in their countries.
So we should trust people on a forum rather than an official decision?
I don't understand why everyone is angry at OP, it is what it is!
Just because you and one hundred other people drive in a city at 70kmh and nobody gets a fine it doesn't mean that that limit is not 50kmph!
Porn is banned in some, alcohol is banned in some, and some countries have banned books and movies, just because people can get their land on it it doesn't mean there is no ban!
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.

Isn't it ironic?
People cheer for BRICS and de-dollarization and there you have the list, no G7 or EU country while you have 3 out of 5 members from Brics there and the leading one has banned everything over and over. It would be interesting to see their ranking when it comes to freedom and press, seeing Russia and Iran in that list probably the bottom 20 in the world.
