THAT'S FALSE - Bitcoin has NOT been banned in Spain

The government has not banned bitcoin nor any other crypto.
I'm from Spain.

Thanks for the assurance. I just replied him to provide a reliable source to back his claims. It is not good to provide a Fud news and fail to back it with a proper evidence.

as a rule whenever you hear some country has banned bitcoin your first assumption should  be that the news is false. and it is true in 99% of the cases. the problem is the news sites that we have do not care about honest journalism. I don't think journalism exists among them anymore, they are all money machines that are trying to make the most out of this ecosystem. so what they do is that they continue publishing the most controversial stories to get the most visitors and earn the most from their banner ads and the traffic.
they don't care about the source or even legitimacy of the news. that is why we call them click baits

In this case, there was no article, no media involved.
It was just one made-up post with no links, no info, just a totally unrelated yt video and I think that topic got way too much attention, kudos to the mod that trashed it.

Topics like that just scream the need for a new kind of newbie jail or at least prevent low-rank users to start topics all over the forum.
Just take a look at his topics (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;threads;u=893146;sa=showPosts), all FUD.


And do you have any reliable sources to prove it?
Just kidding  ;D

Need peoples like you, clearing any FUD that spreading in this community.
It is sad to hear if bitcoin has been banned in some countries, but thankfully that just a false news.
I will helping this community by encouraging peoples like you to keep posting a good things.

Because it's from Spain, so it can release the latest news to the nation of Spain, so I think its words are credible.
I hate most people who spread FUD, who just want to create panic.

Yep. Was curious too why OP made this post. I haven't seen any news about bitcoin being banned in Spain. So, I did a Google search. And this came up:

And fortunately, the post is indeed deleted. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4515493.0

They can't prove it.  As it turns out, the story is true.  But just before the announcement, they had to recall for a few more days to get the press release correct.  They are only fighting over some details.  Ban is coming next week. 

This is big.  Spain is important.  Didn't see this coming for sure.

Who says bitcoin is banned from spain?i never had read any post in the whole forum about saying that spains banned bitcoin because as far as i know this country is a supporter of cryptoworld and wont do this action to add burden to this great coin

Not sure if sarcasm..


A post was made here in bitcointalk yesterday, claiming that bitcoin was banned in Spain. The topic has been deleted already.

But I read that Spain has not yet decided whether to take bitcoin or not.  I do not know what to believe.

I have not heard this information at all, do you have any accurate information for this, if it is true then it is a bad news

There is a lot of false news that aims to make bitcoin prices to go down, and I do not think bitcoin will be banned for the Spanish state.
