bitcoin is legal or illegal?

[Outlander]

Because I wondered why there are countries that agree and some who disagree when all the exchange rate valid in all of the country such as credit card, bank, etc.

Their centralized governments discretionarily support or ban the use of bitcoin in the countries. Credit card, bank fully complies with the regulation and is accepted in worldwide. They have developed for many decades to reach today's level. Bitcoin is still new, not perfect yet to let ppl feel comfortable to use its system. So there are huge differences among them.

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.

But many said that if the store bitcoin must be careful, though legal, but bitcoin bitcoin prone to theft so for disbursement to the bitcoin rupiah tightened. And advised not to click a link are not clear and provide any data to everyone. Is prone to theft bitcoin true ??

bitcoin is as safe as a bank note...
if you keep it secure where no stranger can access it.. then its yours for life.

but if you store the only copy of the private key on a phone and not protect youself from pickpockets. then its gone.
so the same way you would back up a copy of your phonebook contacts, backup your private keys.. then if phone is stolen, you still have backups.

if your using a computer its much the same as having your credit card details saved to your desktop. be cautious about who uses your computer and what programs you download.

if you have smart ways to keep your private keys safe then bitcoin is more secure than any bank account any credit card or any bank note. because if you think someone might get access because you left a copy of your private key in clear view.. you can move the funds to another private key in seconds

as for the is it illegal question.
most countries have not banned bitcoin to be used by its citizens.. most countries who have set regulations have done so mainly to avoid BANKS from investing in bitcoin, because the government wont insure them against bitcoin losses as part of their banking licences. which has nothing to do with citizens personal/private activities.
asia and russia have banned their banks, not their citizens

According to the IRS, here in the USA, Bitcoin is legal, however the IRS considered it an asset.  The IRS also has certain rules and regulations where Bitcoin is being used as a currency, which covers some of the banking rules of bitcoin.  It is very detailed and makes it very usable.  As far as Bitcoin in New York, we have recently read some strict rules which govern it as a currency.  As I stated in another thread, I believe these rules were set in place to defer the use of Bitcoin, but I can not be sure.  All information is from my research and should not be taken as or considered what the laws are.  Please do your own research, for I will not be held responsible for any actions you may take against the laws around Bitcoin.

Means if so what do you say do not rule out the possibility that bitcoin will someday be legalized throughout the country if all the systems have been developed such as banks, credit cards, etc?

Well,it depends on the country you're from.Speaking Logically,its not illegal but due to its usages for the negative things like IS so it could have been banned by a few countries I guess.Its not illegal as per as the World Laws are concerned.

Legal or illegal depends on who is stronger.

If people are stronger than government, what people say is legal. If government is stronger, government is legal.

In America, people can use the government to overcome, if they do it right.
