That's why new people are here and given for those who do not know. However, some countries have recently been banned. These are not added, but I try to share my interest with bitcoin so if you find something useful, then everyone benefits.

Bitcoin has countries with legal incentive regulations, as well as countries that have decided to ban. In some countries, mining activities are highly developed. Some countries that are small and not modern look cold.

Maybe will some get me wrong and I realy don't like to offend anyone but if you look the list of countries that don't support Bitcoin or even ban it they are completely irrelevant. Maybe there is some strong Bitcoin community but in global ratio those countries can't influence cryptocurrency significantly and their attitude to Bitcoin doesn't create cryptocurrency policies.
I still keep my attitude that modern and civilized countries will not ban Bitcoin and that is the most important.

I agree with you. Most of the countries who do not accept bitcoin yet are countries with bad economies. Well developed countries are more user friendly towards bitcoin. Bangladesh and Bolivia really ? Aren't these two countries two of the most poor countries in the list on this thread ? They cannot do any harm to bitcoin, they are only harming themselves. Bolivia is the extreme case which doesn't let people mine , probably this government want to keep the citizens as poor as they can. Just go watch some documentaries about Bolivia to see how in bad shape this country is.

Bitcoin in Morocco
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency transactions were officially outlawed in Morocco in November 2017 seemingly in response to a major Moroccan digital services company, MTDS, announcing a few days prior that it would begin accepting Bitcoin payments.

Sending and receiving payments via any cryptocurrency in Morocco is punishable by fines.

Bitcoin in Bolivia
Cryptocurrencies have never been legal in Bolivia and the government has been known to enforce its anti-Bitcoin stance rather firmly. People caught using Bitcoin and other cryptocoins can be fined and a number of users have even been arrested on more than one occasion for trading and mining Bitcoin.

Bitcoin in Ecuador
Ecuador outlawed Bitcoin and other cryptocoins in mid-2014 as part of its financial reform plans.

The ban on Bitcoin was seen by many as a way to reduce competition with the country's own digital currency system (Sistema de Dinero Electrónico). This official Ecuadorian currency isn't a cryptocurrency and isn't based on blockchain technology. It's simply a digital money solution based on traditional money and valued after the American dollar.


Anti-Bitcoin laws don't appear to be too strict in Ecuador as there are still several ways to buy and sell Bitcoin and other cryptocoins domestically. Enforcement isn't as strict as other countries like Bolivia and Bitcoin is seen as something that might be technically illegal but is still used by a small number of the population.

Bitcoin in China
The trading of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies was banned in China in September 2017. Due to the technology being so popular in the country before the ban though, the change in law hasn't ceased its use completely and many Chinese people continue to trade cryptocoins via in-person trades and chat apps like Telegram and WeChat.

The Chinese government appears to target professional cryptocurrency trading companies over individuals.

Bitcoin in Nepal
Nepal's stance on many aspects of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is a little ambiguous however it has been confirmed that the trading of Bitcoin is considered illegal following several arrests of Bitcoin traders in 2017 that resulted in a combination of fines and jail terms for those involved. Attempting to use Bitcoin and other cryptocoins in Nepal is not recommended.

Recently, some countries are banned by Bitcoin. Which did not come to my list.

It's no use arguing about what countries have legalized cryptocurrencies and what countries have not. The point is, that we can see lots of countries already accept cryptocurrencies, just a few do not accept. But in the long run almost every country will accept this new technology. However, there's a huge difference between accepting and legalizing. Governments will legalize and regulate, governments accepting crypto could do this without regulations and that's what crypto is about. But of course, governments want regulations in order to keep control and that's what crypto is against. Cryptocurrencies should be decentralized, but governments will not accept that.

[Jjunpat]

Bitcoin in my country is already use by some affiliated exchange center or even some banks where we can buy or sell bitcoin and exchange BTC to our monetary. I tried it also but I could not say its legal because in our newsbreak late last year our government has been on process to legalize bitcoin as a security comes after much consideration and monitoring along with consultation with its central bank. So as of now bitcoin was not control by our government and central bank.

[hibiscus]

                         Most of the industrially developed countries are accepted bitcoin and made it legal by studying the merits and demerits  out of it.
USA, UK,Canada, Germany, France, Australia, Belgium, brazil, Denmark , Hong kong,Israel, Italy Japan,New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Singapore,Spain,
South Korea,Switzerland,Sweden, turkey, Slovenia,Ukraine, cyprus, czech Republic,etc.
Mean time the socialistic blocks are still to accept fully such as Russia , China ,Vietnam,Bolivia,Kyrgyzstan Ecuador Cambodia Bengladesh, Nepal ,Ice land etc are not permitted bitcoin to operate their country.

[Super_talk]

many Chinese companies that produce goods using the scheme [money laundering through trade], now prefer calculations for bitcoin. Bitcoin is widely distributed in China, because it can be used to anonymously transfer values ​​abroad, bypassing China's control over capital.

Bitcoin fell in early 2018, but that does not mean that it will disappear completely, it's just a chance to purchase.

[deklitt]

every state government has different considerations about the legality of bitcoin but i don't think this is an obstacle to bitcoin progress in the future, even though there is currently a slight fall in the price of bitcoin but i remain optimistic that bitcoin will continue to grow as the popularity increases

[shaheer001]

[bogacola]

Bitcoin is legal unless you use it in illegal ways like scam people or something to that extent.
As far as I know, governments have no power over Bitcoin. It has also been said that Bitcoin wallets are very secure/private, so it would be really difficult for anyone to monitor them in case something illegal is going on.

[Shiversnow]

The legality of bitcoin depends on the government of their own country. If they think that it will not help their economy, and it will just help their people to be in illegal transactions then they will ban it. But some countries like those in your statement have a positive mind about bitcoin.

[ajiejot]

There are many countries that don't want to legalize Bitcoin to their country. There are many countries nowadays that really don't want to use Bitcoin. But in totally, Bitcoin is really big help for every country, specially to the financial problem.

[ahamir]

Yes we should have information where bitcoin is legal and where it is not, it will help us in trading. Besides, after looking at the list a lot of people on this forum will realize, that bitcoin is not banned everywhere, and it is still legal and accepted in numerous countries, so it will not lose its power.

The legal and illegal thing of bitcoin varies country to country. Different government have different opinions about bitcoin. Some of government use it for their country profit and some of them sacred of it. China, Bangladesh, Ecuador, Israel etc country ban bitcoin in their country because it affects their country national banks profit and also affects their country economy and financial growth.
