Hi guys!

Currently, I'm doing a research to find out the Legal Status of digital currency around the world.

Does anybody has any information that might be helpful?

The power of Google  ;D

Found this, not sure how up to date it is but it should be relatively accurate

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_status_of_Bitcoin

Also found this article on Forbes with a listof countries, think it might be the same as above

http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2014/01/31/bitcoins-legality-around-the-world/

I was looking for some site like Bitlegal (no longer available) or something like that.
Nevertheless, these links are also good information.

Thanks for the help

I suggest you to use https://team.cartodb.com/u/andrew/viz/365aa620-c273-11e4-bac7-0e018d66dc29/embed_map it is a really useful map showing information about the legality of bitcoin ins certain countries.

Each and every country has its own legal procedures for Bitcoins. Some Countries have accepted Bitcoins and started to use it in the Financial procedures and given the status of currency. Some countries have stated Bitcoins as illegal but still peoples of this country uses bitcoins. So we cannot say what is the actually status of Bitcoins in whole single world

Yes, Agreed.
Fortunately, I did found a good article and some other informative sites:

These sites contain good information ;)

Recent news of Bitcoins is online wallet Neteller has started to accept the Bitcoins as a payment in their deposit and withdrawal section now we can deposit and withdrawal in neteller in bitcoins also. so i think slowly all country are accepting bitcoins as a currency.
