So the government says bitcoin is illegal because of the ICO scammers, Pyramiding schemes, Hype invesment and Its flactuating prices. Many newcomers have entered the world of crypto this past year without sufficient knowledge and it has probably been the start of bitcoin popularity.
Due to the steady rise in bitcoin prices many newcomers have had the interest to enter into it without thinking and getting a good investment timeframe. Thus the result was that they trapped the sudden collapse of the price which caused the investments of new comers to fall. So my only advice is explain it well to our acquaintances or those who are taught that investing in bitcoin has a big risk that our investment will fall.
