These days, a country announcing that they will make bitcoin legal is not as rare anymore. We hear news of this almost every week. It might make us forget that not all countries like bitcoin. There are still those who don’t and have not changed their stance when it comes to bitcoin. I saw a list from investopedia.com of countries where bitcoin is illegal. These are the following countries:
  • China
  • Pakistan
  • Saudi Arabia
  • Tunisia
  • Bolivia

What took my attention however is Pakistan. Because I know that I had recently read a news about Pakistan and bitcoin and I was right.

Pakistan is moving ahead with plans to establish a national Bitcoin reserve as part of a broader digital asset strategy. Bilal Bin Saqib, head of the Pakistan Crypto Council, announced the move at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas.

He emphasised that the government’s intention is long term and not driven by market speculation. He stated that once acquired, the Bitcoin would never be sold.

The government plans to launch a national Bitcoin wallet and adopt blockchain technologies. The reserve’s size is unclear, but the move follows the US example and shows Pakistan’s growing trust in blockchain.

I guess the list is now outdated. It shows that a country can and will definitely change their stance on bitcoin. So is your country still against bitcoin?

I can say that my country is not against Bitcoin, even though Bitcoin is illegal in my country, we can easily ensure the use of Bitcoin from our country. Although Bitcoin cannot be sold directly in my country, we can use Bitcoin in any work or field by converting it into the local currency of my country through p2p transactions, and there will be no problem. If my country was against Bitcoin, we would not have been able to use Bitcoin like this, maybe we would not have been able to use Bitcoin at all, if we had used it, various administrative problems would have been created. I hope that my country will continue to see Bitcoin the way it is now, but I also hope that my country will give legality one day. I am talking about my Bangladesh here.
