Why do they keep saying bitcoin is illegal?

And what should they say if they are not in a position to do so and can not be controlled, or taxed. Rejoice until they start radical measures.

Who is "they" and it's not illigal. You cannot make it illigal how would you ? How will me police man and government man know I'm using bitcoins ? They won't that's how. Also if you live in a place like china just save your bitcoins and move to a another country when you feel you have enough saved. You could also cash out in that country and pay them tax instead if on a government who doesn't care about you one bit.

It is not illegal it is approved by the sales etc
. People are saying it's illegal because you earn alot in a short period of time and that is COMPLETELY legal. Illegal is you stole BTC (of course).

Please do inlighten me.

To frighten people so that the production of crypto-currency does not develop. After all, it's easy to understand, they can not regulate it, they can clean up their hands and have at least a small percentage, that's what they say is illegal.

i dont think why they keep saying that bitcoin is illegal, but for me it totally legal because its useful, at the same time you can earn profit from it so how could it be become illegal? OP dont mind those people keep saying that bitcoin is illegal because they are the illegal not the bitcoin.

Government cant control and manage Bitcoin so they think Bitcoin is illegal

I think Bitcoin can't be controlled by any government. This is a feature of Bitcoin! Its only be controlled by the community!

[Arkham Knight]

Don't listen to them and start earning bitcoins. They are the haters that don't want to see bitcoin succeed.

[xiboothrezi]

most people are still afraid and consider bitcoin unsafe. like just a hot issue that will quickly disappear as well. besides that, bitcoin is integrated directly with its users, there is no special governing agency

[endlasuresh]

I have heard same thing in the past Bitcoin is illegal in India, but some sites say it is Legal. Now I just seen on Wikipedia from above link that Bitcoin is Legal in India.

[radhekrishna]

Bitcoin is not illegal it depend upon your country in which you are living like in india its not legal as well as china also ban ISO of bitcoins because of it there was drastic change in price of bit money

[Venidici]

Because they're trying to lower the price, so they can buy it cheaper.
They probably still regret doubting the tech while it only cost less than $100 /coin.

they keep saying that bitcoin is illegal because they not educated by this bitcoin, and our forum (bitcointalk.org) is all related to bitcoin so they all can say that our site is illegal with those who negative thinking and not even educated in bitcoin. bitcoin now is worth unimaginable price in terms of value so if those people not educated in bitcoin then they known a few things or they just invite by someone so they first impression is negative and not to believe and maybe they say to its illegal to earn more than their current job. we dont have no choice but to accept that they not believing in what do they need to know about bitcoin.

[Domineum]

people that doesn't understand something will call it illegal. Specially because if they don't understand it they will be less interested in looking that it is actually NOT illegal.

What I mean is that is easier to call it illegal than doing some research.

In certain countrys  owning bitcoins is illegal  .Also if you instead to use then to avoid  certain laws (dumb unjust  laws or not) guess what you now holding  illegal bitcoins  .

[xSkylarx]

They keep saying that bitcoin is illegal because they don't have idea on what is bitcoin and they only think that bitcoin is only usable in the deepweb or in the underground type of internet and that is why we need to teach other people to realized that bitcoin is not all about illegal stuff because bitcoin is more usable in legal way.

[diegz]

I don't really get your question exactly. Do you mean Bitcoin or this site is illegal?

Anyway, when it comes to this site, this is not illegal, this won't run up to now when this is illegal.

Regarding Bitcoin, usually people's perception about Bitcoin is like that. It is some sort of stereotyping. Maybe they have a terrible experience about internet money(paypal) or whatever that includes money, which is sometimes a fraud.
