Which country does NOT use Bitcoin?

[btccashacc]

It would be very interesting to know if a Bitcoin transaction has ever been made from and, or, to North Korea.

Kim Jong-Un, in case you're reading this, what's your Monero address?

lol, it's funny
well if north korean using bitcoin, it must be their hacker team, the rich people or government's family or the most suprising is kim jong un using it
due to internet connection out there are limited by the government

[lixer]

i think every single country has some people that have heard about bitcoin and are using it, and there is not really anything anybody can do about that either.
but there is a big difference between people using bitcoin and bitcoin being actually used in the country like having a local exchanger or having local businesses accept bitcoin and more importantly have laws about bitcoin by government.

Yes I too think most of people know about the bitcoins and also using them. But it is not widely and publicly used in most countries. Due to it's online presence. But at the same time every people can take benefit even if Govt do not allows.

I think all country using bitcoin,, but i think other country is banned bitcoin because they use it illegal like buying drugs

[RobinHoodster]

I do not know witch countries but I think that many western European countries do not make use of Bitcoins. I do not know why not, if Bitcoin manages to get these countries to use Bitcoin this would be huge for their reputation.   

[ripplehd]

I think most european countries use bitcoins and in england there's a shop called Cex where they sell games and if you look behind the counter there is a picture saying Bitcoin is accepted here so for anyone who likes promoting bitcoin to the public this should cheer you up

[acroman08]

at least those that have restricted or banned it like bangladesh, vietnam etc, are not using it

but i suspect that a very small group of people are using it regardless, and this maybe true for each country out there

i agree! even if bitcoin is banned in some countries there will still be small amount of people who is going to use bitcoin. it cant be helped.

I think North Korea and Cuba are far from Bitcoin.

I think even those north korea and cuba have access to bitcoin. As bitcoin can be earned and not always needed to purchase for cash. And i don't think those country have banned bitcointalk or other bitcoin related sites yet to stop people from using and knowing about bitcoin.

So basically i think bitcoin has already spreaded to most of the countries.

[BitcoinSupremo]

North Korea has only 600 allowed people which uses internet there, and all working for intelligence for the government. Normal users there don't have access to internet, thats why normal people don't use bitcoin in North Korea, it looks to me like a land forgotten by time.

[27QVUTZj8rgZP1]

From information which i got after searching on Google, some big country such as Australia, Brazil, and Canada prohibit to use bitcoin. But i am so sure, still few person who using bitcoin as well.

Brazil does not prohibit the usage of Bitcoin. It is legalized here, but not many is using it.

im pretty sure that not a long time ago it was banned in russia wasnt it? i think now it is punishable by huge fines or even prison there though i dont think that it is a good decision that they made

in my opinion the use of bitcoin should be free for everyone just so people can be their own banks and maybe even make a lot of money with bitcoins by working with it full time, though those are just my ideas

I don't think it was ever outright banned in Russia, there was only talk of it being banned.

I could be wrong, and I haven't been keeping up with the news, but not that long ago one of the Russian finance ministers, if I remember correctly, said Bitcoin was a good thing, or at least something that had technology that could be applied.

I too don't think that bitcoin was fully banned in Russia, it may just a news spread out, because I often see some Russian users in this forum. Also those people are more interested in bitcoin.

According to this list https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_bitcoin_by_country , Russia was ban bitcoin since 2014 ago.
But you know there is a lot of Russian miner around here and you know what? Government ban bitcoin doesn't mean there is no bitcoiner at that country,  Russian miner have proven it.

yeah I agree with friend now I think more people use in world but all  country government  is not know about bitcoin and more people take profit with bitcoin maybe all country people use bitcoin in wold but does not know about it .

[TheCarrotBaou]

I'm almost certain El Salvador does not use Bitcoin. Rofl.

[jerowacik]

now there are many countries that are not yet using bitcoin. The main reason is because bitcoin citizens now have not recognized their integrity by the government and are not guaranteed by a financial institution reliable.

Well if you think about it. There are still some countries that are marginalized that i wouldnt be surprised if they dont have stable internet connection yet. And i guess this is one factor to consider.

[bestluck]

I believe that wherever is there an internet connection -even a slow one- , you will find bitcoin users. people always are looking for freedom in their money transactions which they can find in bitcoin.

yeah, the answer to the question is simple whenever you see internet connection you will definitely see someone there who will use bitcoin for their transactions etc, there are much less areas where internet is available and bitcoin is not used there.

Internet connection is much needed for the growth of bitcoin. Only few countries are lacking internet accessibility. Even 3rd world countries has got best access to internet compared to grown countries.

[rio3233]

I was inspired by many topics, Do Arabs use Bitcoin, Can kids have bitcoin, How to motivate girl to have bitcoin etc, I think a real question unanswered until now would be

Which country does NOT use Bitcoin? And I am not talking about countries who have given a ban to Bitcoin, as I know Bitcoin cannot be truly banned. Should we say this country doesn't exist or you might have any ideas.

I think North Korea and Cuba are far from Bitcoin.

I think East Timor not use bitcoin, I never heard people from East Timor using bitcoin. Yeah North Korea too, they country is so strict about outsider.
