Seeing that this probably went through the required documents and government approval then we can assume that Bitcoin is generally accepted by the government in Indonesia? We wouldn’t want the government to bust the house and try to come up with crimes no one committed.
In Indonesia, bitcoin regulation is only a means of commodity and is not allowed as a medium of exchange in general that replaces the rupiah currency.
Bitcoin is generally accepted but with clear rules, no one will raid your house even if you own Bitcoin.
But bitcoiners from all over the world who are in Bali should
worry about the attitude of local authorities towards them.
Gatherings in your community for tourists can have undesirable consequences.
“Foreign tourists who behave inappropriately, engage in actions not allowed by their visa permit, use cryptocurrency as a means of payment, and violate other provisions will be strictly punished” (
source).
It is not allowed for general payments to replace rupiah, and has been urged.
Bitcoinhouse aims to educate, introduce Bitcoin, and meet many like-minded people about Bitcoin.
An
iron tin can container is not the best place to spend time in a hot and humid climate, I should say.
hey dude, I know it's made of Containers
iron tin can, but you certainly know the function of the air conditioner built into it.
The hot and humid climate will indeed bother you, but that will not happen, they have also designed it to be as comfortable as possible.
It looks cool for Bitcoin adoption but I am cautious to visit such locations and inform people that I am a Bitcoin investor. Risk is big and my caution will keep my staying outside of such places. I can be an outsider and feel happy with this adoption but I am not a kind of person who will join it.
No one forces you to tell you that you are a bitcoin investor, they don't ask how many bitcoins you are.
It's just a community created for all sorts of reasons about Bitcoin education, not crime, so you don't have to be skeptical about the negatives.
Just a choice of wanting to join or not, if you are not in line then skip it.
Privacy is important and inform many people that you are a Bitcoin investor is so risky.
I'm also aware of that, so don't tell your portfolio, and like I said this is a choice, your privacy is in those communities not public,
you can probably come as anonymous if you want, just an option.
Physical Bitcoin attacks with some old attack stories and some links are dead now.
Many months ago, I read some articles that locals don't feel comfortable with Bitcoin/ cryptocurrency foreign freelancers who visit or live in Bali.
In relation to the attack you are referring to, even it happened not only in Bali but in other countries as well it happened maybe even more brutal.
People don't have a problem with crypto or bitcoin, but maybe with the individual or the tourists themselves.
As you may know, some tourists can't appreciate where they live and don't respect the rules here.
This isn't a bad idea most expecially in a society that has adopted Bitcoin fully as this can go a long way to create more publicity and aid local Bitcoin adoption to a very extent.
Exactly, that's the goal, we won't know how Bitcoin adoption will develop in the future, we can only strive from this simple thing.
And for everyone, the purpose of creating this Bitcoin house is for education and not only my foreign tourists attend, but many local tourists can also join.
Bitcoin house has a mission to make Bitcoin accessible and understandable to Indonesians.
focuses on easy and free access to reliable information and the creation of local educational networks, ensuring that everyone can learn about Bitcoin.
