If Bitcoin is used to purchase good things, it can also be used to purchase illegal things. However, there are some countries that have banned legal and then some term it as illegal. But, there is no single country that has accepted Bitcoin as a substitute to its legal currency.

      Countries that legalized Bitcoin

      There are some countries that have legalised the usage of bitcoins for doing business. But some regulatory laws were enacted by these companies before completely legalising the usage of bitcoins. Though they have agreed to legalize it, but they refuse to identify it as the country’s currency, so it can be said that bitcoin is limited till business purpose only.  Mentioned below are the countries that have legalized the transaction for Bitcoin:

      The United States

      The US has expressed a very positive approach towards Bitcoin and has legalized its usage. There are several government bodies that work towards reducing the illegal usage of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is therefore not considered as a currency but as a money service business. It is placed under Bank secrecy act. Internal revenue service has categorised Bitcoin simply for taxation purposes and not others.

      Canada

      Similar to the United States, Canada also considered Bitcoin exchange only for money services business. Bitcoin transactions are simply viewed as barter transaction. The income gained is simply business income. As per the Canadian government Bitcoin need to be registered under Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre (FINTRAC). Bitcoin is viewed as commodity by the Canada revenue agency (CRA).

      Australia has also allowed Bitcoins. It considered Bitcoin for better transactions. It also allows mining of Bitcoin.

      The European Union

      Most of the countries of Europe considered usage of Bitcoin as legal and has also provide the licence. Finland, Belgium, United Kingdom, Germany and Bulgaria also allow exchange of Bitcoins. In Finland and Belgium Bitcoins are provided the exempt status of Value Added Tax (VAT). United Kingdom and Germany or also open to Bitcoins but taxes are charged up on them accordingly. National revenue agency, Bulgaria also brought Bitcoin within its existing laws.

      Countries that didn’t approve of Bitcoin

      A section of the world legalized the usage of bitcoin, but another section didn’t because of its transparent nature. Countries that didn’t legalize bitcoin stated that since no entity has the control over it, the chances of criminal activities are pretty high. Its decentralized nature would pose threat to the currency of the country. Illicit activities like drug dealing and money laundering would become prevalent due to the usage of bitcoins. Therefore, mentioned below are the countries that did not approve of Bitcoin:

      Iceland

      The capital control part of the monetary policy prevents the flow of any foreign currency in Iceland. Foreign exchange with bitcoin is completely banned in Iceland. It is so because trading through cryptocurrencies is strictly against the Foreign Exchange Act of the country.

      Vietnam

      Since the very beginning Vietnam had been against the usage of bitcoin for trade business. It linked the usage of bitcoins to illegal activities like money laundering. After several discussions, the state bank and Vietnamese government declared the usage of bitcoin illegal for both financial institutions and citizens who would hold the bitcoin and trade with it.

      Bolivia

      The usage of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is strictly banned in El Banco Central de Bolivia.

      Kyrgyzstan

      Exchange of bitcoins as a form of trade is also considered as illegal in Kyrgyzstan.

      Ecuador

      By a majority of vote, bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies were banned in Ecuador. However, the government is now planning to come up with its own form of cryptocurrency that would help in trade business.

      Russia

      There is still a doubt regarding the legality of bitcoin in Russia. It is a matter of dispute. The Ministry of finance is planning to pass a law very soon that would put a ban to the usage of bitcoin in Russia.

      China

      China is the world’s largest bitcoin market. Financial institutions are banned from using bitcoins. However, the individual citizens are allowed to deal with bitcoins. The Bitcoin culture is one most thriving cultures of China.
      Value of Bitcoin

      Current value of Bitcoin

      The value of bitcoin fluctuates every second. In the blink of an eye you have an altogether different value of Bitcoin. The more popular it gets, the more is its value. No one in the market is aware of the actual value of bitcoins. It set its highest record on 17 December when it crossed the $19580 mark. But soon it tumbled down to $12000 within just a number of days. Last week, it almost fell by $2000 slipping below $11000 which is quite unexpected. Its value has changed about 1425% since the last year. Recently, bitcoin beat down the value of gold in the market.

      Bitcoin is volatile and there is always a change in its value. Nowadays, with such high values of bitcoin, people tend to invest on it. The current value of bitcoin in India Rupee is Rs 896536.72

      Future of Bitcoin

      Bitcoin’s value is increasing day by day and may drop off too. No one is aware as in what will happen the next moment. Therefore, mentioned below are some of the predictions about the future of bitcoin:

        • Bitcoin regulation in almost all the countries would be legalized.
        • Merchants would soon begin to accept bitcoins. For example, if a merchant refuses to accept bitcoin he would accept it, once he is asked repeatedly about it.
        • Currently, buying bitcoins is a tough process since it is restricted in many countries. But in the coming future, bitcoins would be available hence the process of mining and buying bitcoins will be easy.
        • In the future, bitcoin would evolve as a protocol.
        • The chain reaction of the bitcoins would become more prevalent. This chain system is very much necessary for proper functioning of bitcoin.

      Bitcoin now is becoming like a trend. And it is expected that in the coming time, it will make a huge system for money transactions in the world countries.

        Hi, You probably saw how Bitcoin increased over 900 over the course of last year. It was wild – but not totally unprecedented if you’d been watching cryptocurrency over the last several years. And here’s the crazy thing; There are many other coins that still have tons of room to grow. You may have heard of Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, and others… …but there are more coins – and many more opportunities
