The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

You can take this as a reference.

Basically Bitcoin isn't illegal anywhere (as in the law explicitly says "Bitcoin is illegal") but the use of digital currencies is prohibited in some places, or discouraged.

A Bitcoin transaction itself is always safe.

Bitcoin is legal in most countries, but some communist or undemocratic countries do not prove bitcoin as a currency. They fear the damage it will do to their economy rather than good.

It's illegal in some, legal in some. However it's easy to get around the restrictions...

One guy in Taiwan said it was banned. When the rest of the government was asked I don't think they agreed. You have to pass laws and stuff first.

That's correct, bitcoin is legal if you use it legally and it is illegal if you use it for illegal things like gambling or drugs, as drugs and gambling are prohibited in many countries so it is totally individual choice like where they want to use their bitcoins either for good or for bad activities, the government of the countries will never support bitcoins as they consider it as a threat to the banking system.

I can' t imagine why I'm wasting my time responding to nonsense posted by someone like you, but perhaps I'm feeling a bit more generous that usual with the Christmas season.

Let's take the discussion here. I would like to ask you some questions, namely:
1. What is bitcoin is legal or illegal?

Yes.

2. What are the shortcomings of bitcoin?

It is new and widely unknown. It requires some attention to security. It requires internet access.

3. According to you whether bitcoin transaction can be said to be "safe"?

Yes.

In my view point, generally bitcoin is legal, but if there some countries prohibit to use bitcoin, it becomes illegal.
I think Transactions bitcoin safe enough.

1.It's not illegal but it also isn't recognized as legal yet. It's lawless right now.
2.It's not widely accepted yet but great technology, it would change whole monetary system.
3.Yes, it's safe if you know what to do.

1. What is bitcoin is legal or illegal?
2. What are the shortcomings of bitcoin?
3. According to you whether bitcoin transaction can be said to be "safe"?

1. Please see: Legality of bitcoin by country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_bitcoin_by_country

2. For example, one is that it is not anonymous: http://www.bitcoinisnotanonymous.com/
Second could be that is is not fungible: http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-fungibility-essential/

3. "safe" in what sense? regarding your privacy or anonymity, or whether there is no double spending, or if your coins can be stolen, etc.?

I think it depends on the laws of the country that make it legal or illegal basing on country boundaries

1. Legal - details on legality by country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_bitcoin_by_country

2. Anonymity (lack thereof), security, wallet structure is complicated thus easy for people to "lose details" required to access their funds

3. Yes, as safe as using cash.

1. bitcoin legal course, you can see that 35 more states legalize bitcoin.
2. bitcoin shortage of course at the time of the transaction and the transaction confirmation.
3. virtually all secure transactions, I have never seen a bitcoin transaction was canceled because bitcoin is lost or hacked by third people.
