Every day we read about US,China, Korea,Japan; their stand on cryptos and anytime the news seems bad it will create FUD which will lead to market crash.
But I believe US,China, Korea,Japan are not the only countries in the world. So today I want the community members to state their countries stand as regards to cryptos
Below are few countries stands as regarding to cryptos. you can correct me if I am wrong.

In my country they say nothing, it's just lying to drink and steal. Because I live in Russia, and here cryptocurrency, too, is used in illegal means and for purchases sales drugs. Therefore, the attitude of Russia to the crypt is very suspended.
