Bitcoin illegal in Nepal?
“Bitcoin is illegal in Nepal” says Central Bank of Nepal. Kedar Prasad Acharya, Deputy Director of Nepal Rastra Bank.
Any transaction related to Bitcoins are not allowed in Nepal and is being monitored by Nepal Government and some of the bitcoin dealers have been arrested by Nepal police.
Some of the sellers (like bitsewa) have stopped bitcoin transaction after the news was announced. The main cause that bitcoin is considered as illegal must be national currencies getting invested on bitcoin generated by foreign and the economy gets unbalanced inside the country.
As there is no exact information what bitcoin is going to become on future, Will it be most used digital currency or will it gets shut down?
Good one!
Simply written but very purposeful.
Thank you. This helped me. 🙂
Thanks for the Information.
yes, bitcoin shouldn’t legalize in Nepal. it is not about band of technology. Central bank is obligated to do so, i feel it. The reason is, since many decade Nepal is fail to rise its economic status, neither while king ruled nor now any politician seems active. all politician parties are same old story. Nepal doesn’t have any tiny hope to see development.
And in such country 90% of people in Nepal buy things without they know the value, for example look at network business. how one Nepali convince to another and for unknown benefit many Nepalese jumped over network business.
The same story will carry the cryptocurrency.
through my view cryptocurrency is volatile. you should be very busy in itself to catch the fish.
on the other hand Nepalese people are not that way, they are type of busy on their work for years and after years want to know about their property(balance).
As I know Nepal is a place where majority of innocent people becomes victims of clever people.
Nepalese people wants some stable like money in their locked box. since gold value rise. they believe in gold and land properties.
Before cryptocurrency, Nepalese people have to think about credit card. If possible Nepalese people should get opportunity to use credit card Visa and Master for international trade.
You are absolutely right on this I agree on it as only fewer will be able to do it right while most of the nepalese people will lose what they have following other people talks and news that bitcoin is growing. so the economy will fall for sure.
