It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Because governments don't like it. They don't like it because they can't control the money flow when people use bitcoins. They can control banks, airports, your house... But nobody will notice if a tiny usb stick holds thousands of bitcoins.

because of it no control of government country and not taxation pay to government .
so usually they ban it . also there is privacy through which no one can find how much the user saved btc at his wallet .

Yes in some countries bitcoin is illegal and in some countries there is no specific law made for the regulation of bitcoin.
Those government made bitcoin illegal in their country because they are not able to control this bitcoin currency as bitcoin is decentralised and they cannot track how much bitcoin a person is holding in his/her wallet.

What do you mean by it is illegal?  I am from a third world country but we uses bitcoin.  I do not know if it is legal or illegal all I know is that the bitcoin wallet in our country allows deposit through banks and 711 stores and some cash remittances.  They even ask every person to validate their accounts through Id verification and phone verification.  They deactivated accounts which engage into gambling as they say that it is not registered into some government organization or something like that.

I don't think that Bitcoin is illegal in many countries in the world.
In fact, Bitcoin is still not regulated by the law in many countries in the world.
Governments really adapt very slowly to the new reality and Bitcoin is already here, reality and new future of the money.
Don't worry, nobody can stop progress and Bitcoin will be fully accepted everywhere, soon or later.

Bitcoin is legal because it's not a big deal yet, it's not impacting or imposing upon local fiat currencies, and (most importantly) it has legitimate value in the world!

In the end, the government can't control what I offer you for services you offer me - it's called trading/bartering. Of course it would take more creativity to make the exchange happen, but it could still happen.

Here's a resource on the legality of bitcoin by country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_bitcoin_by_country

governments want to control people so they want to control ongoing cash flow. For that reason, goverments dont want to legitimize bitcoin usage in trades. Bitcoin flow cant be controled offically at this moment but something will be different in the future ..who knows..

Cause they don't like it,the freedom it gives you,the endless possibilities.
That's to say I really don't find it is reasonable for the people because they deserve to use BTC and have the freedom to choose their currency.
Hope more people realize this

Bitcoin is illegal?


Those law makers are changing their minds so much that they might be really light headed. Maybe they could do the same with drugs, ban then unban ban then unban.

What are they doing?

Bitcoin is still young currency and many goverments still don't know much about it. They are thinking that bitcoin can be used for illegal activities or avoid pay taxes. And also goverments are in side of banks, legalization of bitcoin can affect banks negative and goverments no need it.

why bitcoin is still illegal in many countries of world Huh Is there any solid reason behind this ??/
Illegal in many countries? It's a minority. Bitcoin is legal in most countries of the world. You need to go to some countries in the former USSR for bitcoin to be illegal.
Governments are cautious about it in the western world, but it's not illegal. The usual arguments are terrorist, crime, money laundering.

Before all the "get rich quick" guys came to the bitcoin space, it was a very political movement.
You need to go back in time to when bitcoin was first created.

June 2011:
I have become fascinated with Bitcoin since first reading about it a few weeks ago.  It seems to me that a successful, thriving bitcoin currency is very threatening to governments, because it reduces their power to trace transactions, confiscate money, and pay their bills in inflated currency.  Bitcoin takes power from government and puts it firmly back into the hands of the people.  It has a small, but real, chance of becoming one of the most liberating inventions since the Internet itself, and will therefore be detested by governments around the world.  If it is to survive, every effort must be taken to protect it from their attacks.

That was the general view. I'm skeptical if it does reduce a governments power:
