Government don't accept Bitcoin.

[Tingtong]

Our country government don't accept bitcoin. If anyone use bitcoin and know it state police Caught him and give punishment. But i like bitcoin. How can i use it? And I want to explain that bitcoin is not bad for me. How can i successfully explain?

[Lorence.xD]

I do not know what to say about this because the government is involved and as you said state police also. You can use VPN to at the very least mask your identity, or use a fully configurated virtual machine and then there you will start using VPN. The most difficult part in this is masking your real location. You can't explain it to them cause as you already know that the authorities as you see is behind the crackdown.

How can i use it? And I want to explain that bitcoin is not bad for me.

I will first advice you not to make use of any custodial service because such services will not give you any private key and if you have problem with them you may end up losing your bitcoin, you will have to make use of noncustodial wallet. You will need to look for people that are ready to buy and sell bitcoin. There will be people in your country that still do sell bitcoin, you can make use of decentralized exchanges that accepts p2p or buy p2p through legit platforms like mycelium local trader. But, be very careful not to fall into scammers tactics because there will be people that will want to scam you.

But to be on the safer side, just do not use bitcoin if your governments are criminalising people that are using it.

How can i successfully explain?

You mean how you can explain bitcoin to someone? You will need to read about that online. Bitcoin is a deflationary currency that was created in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto, it is an asset because it has a limited supply which will push its price higher over long term as people are also buying it.

You can't explain. Just don't get caught. If your country deems Bitcoin to be illegal and you still use it, you're doing it at your own peril and no amount of explanation is going to convince them that they shouldn't prosecute you for using Bitcoin.

I, for one would immediately set up a Tor browser and route all my traffic through it. At the very least, they cannot link the stuff that I do with Bitcoin to my real life identity. Concealing your identity would be the top priority and you would probably be better off trying out decentralised and P2P exchanges.

I don't think banning Bitcoin is effective nor reasonable. But as always, do things at your own risks; there's always a chance that you'll be caught.

Sorry mate, there's no explanation that you can give to the government for them to accept or allow you to use bitcoin. They know that it isn't bad but they don't want it because if everyone begins to use it, they will be sidelined. Also, I don't think it's OK for you to continue using Bitcoin at this moment. Like you said, you'll be punished if caught. Tho I know it may be hard for them to know you use it, I suggest you back down, so you don't attract trouble for yourself.

[meanwords]

There are 3 options for you:

1. You either use it and don't get caught by the authorities (there are ways to hide your usage or identity in the internet nowadays)

2. Stop using Bitcoin (not recommended if you really like using Bitcoin instead of the traditional fiat)

3. Go to another country that accepts Bitcoin (Philippines is one of the example that is very open to cryptocurrency or Bitcoin)

There you go. You don't need to explain things because they won't listen to you anyway.

I am curious on how the government will know we are using Bitcoin?
On our Internet providers? Since if you will don't tell anybody you are using Bitcoin or own some, I think there is no way that they will know you are using Bitcoin. This is one of the best things I love in Bitcoin, a freedom indeed.

[palle11]

Thee is no amount of how you can hide your identity that can be better when you are caught if your government is not approving it. It will be better you resign the use of bitcoin to fate, is unfortunate , until your government take an approving the use. The consequences of being caught will be worse than letting it go.  

You can learn other businesses to be safe from your government decision in making the use of bitcoin a crime. You can check on any online business here

Another advise is that you can leave from your country and go to another country that accept and use bitcoin.

in my country there is a different situation. despite bitcoin has been ignored by regulators and most of people, now they are enough famous and it's not rare finding some news also in general press.

I have joined meanwhile several bitcoin meetup in Italian cities (Milano Roma), and joined the local Bitcoin Foundation.
Actively proposed also a couple of work bitcoin related with famous press and some consultancies (even free).
You can take inspiration by these actions and trying to find what is suitable for you and your current situation. I think that probably in your country it can be generally a "freedom"problem, since it's not common get problem with police just by "using" bitcoin.... (just as comparison since some months in Italy there is also a bank that allow directly to buy/sell/store bitcoin!)

[hatshepsut93]

How can i use it?

You need to avoid centralized exchanges, you need to use mixing and maintain your anonymity to the highest levels, because any party that you deal with in your country could be an undercover police officer.

How can i successfully explain?

Vote for politicians that promise to decriminalize Bitcoin, support such politicians on social media, etc. This is the most realistic thing that you can do.

[LogitechMouse]

Quite unfortunate that your country is one of the very few countries that are banning Bitcoin in their country or should I say not allowing their countrymen to use Bitcoin.

Using Tor Browser is probably the best thing that you can do in order for you to have access to Bitcoin without getting caught by the authorities. Using VPN's would help you too. There are many ways to have access into it. If you really want to have access on it without restrictions, move to another country . Worst way is that you will not use it at all.

Just do everything that will make you anonymous and will not leave any traces then you're still good to use Bitcoin even it is banned or aren't accepting in your country.

[YOSHIE]

So, what country do you live in.

Honestly, many countries do not accept Bitcoin legally, but they are not punished what else in prison, I think the information you get is, Hoax.

I think that in your country you are not the only one using Bitcoin, hundreds maybe thousands of people use it, if you say, the government in your country has to make the prison three times the size of other countries, not fit everyone who uses bitcoin caught and if the rules in your country like that.

You are looking for more accurate information on Bitcoin users in your country, are they OK, or have they been punished, I don't think so, that's a hoax.

I think you should give your government time to learn and understand how bitcoin works. I wonder how the government or police can catch people who use bitcoin or altcoin for their own reason. You can use bitcoin in trading, buying something using bitcoin as the payment, but you don't have to tell other people that you have bitcoin because that can make them suspicious and will ask you about that.

It is hard to explain bitcoin to them, especially if they don't want to accept a new thing because that can be a debate that will not end. You will explain to them if they want, but don't force them to follow what you want because they are free to use bitcoin or not use bitcoin. We can let them decide to use it or still prefer the current payment that they use.

So using bitcoin is illegal in your country. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it even if you "like bitcoin". If you use it, you will be breaking the law and risk yourself of getting prosecuted. Even if you still do, make sure you don't convert it to fiat or link yourself in anyway. You will have to use P2P platforms to even by bitcoin.
Lol, they don't care if bitcoin is bad for you or not. I guess they think bitcoin is bad for "them", hence they banned the usage.

[Reid]

There is no way you can explain it if you are just an average person in your country.
But, if you know someone in a good position in your government then maybe you could pass a suggestion.
You will still need to find out if he is also a cryptocurrency supporter especially Bitcoin.

For now, what you could do is keep it in a non-custodial wallet.
But the ways to buy Bitcoin will also be difficult.

Are you from Bangladesh? it is the country that I know that has this rule for knowing people that use bitcoin in their country. But AFAIK, the exchanges have opened accounts and trades for the country and that confuses me if the ban is lifted or it's still in effect but with some revisions or minor changes.
Tell where you live.

[Latviand]

Depending on how strict and considerate your government is when it talks about bitcoin.

Some governments are really strict and they punished all those people who will break the law.

They just want to minimize the existence of criminals and scammers in the market so that this bitcoin will not harm their citizens. But it still depends on you on how eager you are in investing on bitcoin. Most of the thing that is difficult to do in a country that do not accept bitcoin is trading and making transactions with it.

[idrisalomagold]

Government will not imposed restrictions if it is not necessary, maybe because it can be used to finance terrorism, money laundering, purchased of fire arms in online web or all of the above.

Many government banned bitcoin in their State however they are not imposing penalties or imprisonment because an individual used it. If this is the case in your country then perhaps bitcoin is used against your government, be it against their laws, policies, regulations or interest. Anyways bitcoin is decentralized and that makes it invulnerable from your country, just dont exposed yourself having or doing transaction that involved bitcoin.

I checked his Twitter feed from his bounty campaigns and I saw a post in Russian. it's possible that he's Russian since as far as I know, bitcoin is also illegal in Russia

to whom exactly? if to other people just explain it as you know it but be discreet about it. but if to the government? I would just say to forget about it. the government has its reason why they deemed bitcoin or other cryptocurrency is a risk and should be banned in the country.

[Xinarae*]

Yes, if Bitcoin is banned wherever you reside then there are problems with Bitcoin transactions. Because central banks don't support Bitcoin that's why you cannot use Bitcoin as a currency. If you would like to use it you got to catch it. repeatedly can legally suffer severe punishment. Governments don't accept bitcoin because they can't control digital resources the govt didn't get any commission thanks to which the govt issued a ban on accepting bitcoin.
