is bitcoin legal???

[stanforders]

Yes, the company of bitcion is a legal entity which have a license to operate and supported by the government of United States of America from its operation; so you don’t have to worry about because they are legit company.

Bitcoin is not a company but only a technology which is decentralized.
Nobody can ban bitcoin because as long as there are miners around who will mine bitcoin, the network will be operational
and anyone can transact using bitcoin.

Yes, legality can further promote the legal status of bitcoin, but even without state recognition, it will continue to exist in the Internet world. No one can destroy it.

I agree, simply because bitcoin exist in online in  a blockchain technology which available and accessible to almost all individual across the globe.
In our country bitcoin is recognized by the central bank and even gave license to an exchange platform along with local banks and remittance centers.
Apart form bitcoin, at present the Etherium is also part of their exchange.

Regulations such as this one extends further utility of bitcoin and its popularity. Thus, promoting it in a way. However, bitcoin is yet to be legalized in the country.

I think it all depends upon how comfortable enough you are in holding altcoins rather than converting it to bitcoin. If you already have doubts on your altcoin and how ell it works for you, it will be better for you to sell it all rather than your mind is sticking on worries about your altcoins and its fate.

[Menawi12]

Bitcoin is legal in some countries only, such as Japan
but in other countries, no one has been able to legitimize the existence of Bitcoin for the reason that the risk is so feared could make people become poor suddenly, because BTC prices are unstable

Many country already regulate bitcoin and cryptocurrency as long they can collecting taxes from cryptocurrency trade. Many country still prohibit bitcoin or others coin because they still dont understand about cryptocurrency and maybe because banks lobby on the government to ban bitcoin, because bitcoin or others coin can disrupt banks bussiness

[RickFoster]

Bitcoins may be considered money, but not legal currency
Bitcoin is largely used for illegal activities, but I sincerely thinks it never was designed to do so, and its foremost interests as an experiment and alternative money system have nothing to do with it

[gogrowglow]

How do you define this, BITCOIN  is not yet legal but it is not banned.  It's hard to banned a thing that exist only in the internet.  Maybe the government can taxed it but even then it is very hard to traced it. Let us enjoy BITCOIN now without tax and worry for the future later.

[SingAlong]

There are different rules about bitcoin in every countries. Some of them are legalized the usage of the system and some of them are ban the bitcoin system. Some of the countries which bitcoin are legal is a democratic country where they can do anything in their own will.

[Atang Sulaeman]

bitcoin is a virtual currency that some countries perceive legally,
depending on where we stand and live because not all countries
legalize bitcoin, and for me personally bitcoin is legal

[Crypto Chips]

depend of the country, some country may legalize and the other country is not.
in my country bitcoin is still be an issue about its legality, maybe in the future my country will fully legalize the bitcoin and crypto things

[jerix]

Bitcoin is of interest to law enforcement agencies, tax authorities, and legal regulators, all of which are trying to understand how the cryptocurrency fits into existing frameworks. The legality of your bitcoin activities will depend on who you are, where you live, and what you are doing with it.

In my country, Bitcoin has not been legalized and the possibility to be legalized is very small. I'm not sure Bitcoin will be legalized in my country. But at least I am still grateful because the Government in my country does not forbid to use Bitcoin as an investment asset. So I can still use Bitcoin although not as free in other countries.

[roadwell890]

it all depends on where you are living
there are some countries that do not like the existence of cryptocurrency, so they prohibit its citizens to have cryptocurrency
there is also a legalkan like Japan and some European countries
and there is also a neutral like Indonesia

[Quantumbot]

Yes, the legality of Bitcoin depends on the laws of the country you are in. If your country explicitly prohibits it, then it is illegal. If not, then it is legal.

[hilman89]

In some bitcoin countries it has not become legal. the reason the government has not legalized the bitcoin I think with the purpose of protecting its people.

[merle]

That's right. The legality of the Bitcoin will depend on each country. Now, some countries legalize the bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. But some other countries precisely ban or don't legalize it. The regulators of the government and its complement really influence the decision of the country.
But, along with the use of bitcoin, I personally think that we are also working on this term. We spend our money, our time, our energy, and our thought in bitcoin. So, it is likely normal to gain more profits with the bitcoin.
Just big hope to get the best decision around the cryptocurrency world.

[jhon pantau]

Many countries in the world prohibit the use of bitcoin but do not eradicate bitcoin users, just a ban. The people also keep using bitcoin, so in some countries the bitcoin is illegal. Including my country, the use of bitcoin is also still illegal. There are very few countries in the world that legalize the use of bitcoin, whereas bitcoin has helped us a lot in terms of advancing the family economy. Perhaps the countries that forbid it to have a certain meaning and purpose. I hope someday bitcoin will get legality from my government, so bitcoin has great hopes and chances to survive in the future.

[elosi]

In most countries bitcoin is legal while in some country it is banned, country like japan bitcoin is a legal asset and can be to pay for good and services and even use it to pay salaries. China is a example of a country where bitcoin is banned. So it all depends on country.

[jemarie20]

Bitcoin is of interest to law enforcement agencies, tax authorities, and legal regulators, all of which are trying to understand how the cryptocurrency fits into existing frameworks. The legality of your bitcoin activities will depend on who you are, where you live, and what you are doing with it.

Definitely yes! because we can say that one thing is illegal if there is a law prohibiting something with this things right? so legality of bitcoin is depends where you are living, if the bitcoin is prohibited in your place definitely the use of bitcoin in your place is illegal.
