Cryptocurrencies are growing fast, but not everyone is on board, as many countries around the word have banned dealing and trading in these digital tokens. Today, while there are reportedly over 5,000 known cryptocurrencies in the world, and with just a few months left in 2021, analysts and experts are still predicting a sharp rise in the value of Bitcoin, the oldest, and most valuable cryptocurrency in the world. But where countries like India are rapidly growing their crypto spaces, others like China, Russia and Bangladesh have been cracking sown.
Regulators and administrators in these nations say they fear crimes like money laundering and hack-attacks. Let's take a look at some of the countries that have banned Cryptocurrencies.
China
China was at one point home to world's largest number of Bitcoin miners. While the reason behind China's ban on cryptocurrency remains unclear, a report by CryptDailyUse claims that the decision was made in favour of reducing energy prices and greenhouse fuel emissions associated with crypto transactions.
Bangladesh
The central bank of Bangladesh does not allow crypto-trading as it goes against the country's financial regulations. Trading in foreign currencies, that too decentralised ones such as cryptos, are not allowed by law in Bangladesh. If found in violation of the law, crypto traders can face years of imprisonment in the Asian nation, a report by Ccoingossip states.
Russia
Back in September 2017, Russia's central bank had said that it was totally against regulating cryptocurrencies as real money. Market sites for Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies are blocked in Russia. It is however expected that in the coming future, Russia might reconsider trading in cryptocurrencies.
Egypt
Under the Islamic legislature of this country, cryptocurrency transactions are prohibited in Egypt. The Egyptian Islamic advisory Dar al-Ifta believes that cryptocurrencies might be harmful to the national security and economic health of the country.
Morocco
The foreign exchange office of Morocco had informed the nationals that transacting in virtual currencies were an “infringement” on forex regulations. The decision of banning crypto-trading in Morocco had also come in 2017. Recently though, reports of illegal Bitcoin trading growing rapidly in Morocco have surfaced online.
It is being speculated that the government of Morocco may allow crypto-trading under specific conditions in the coming future.
Other countries like Turkey, Iran, Algeria, Bolivia, Colombia, Indonesia, Nepal, and North Macedonia have also banned or restricted the use of cryptocurrencies in recent times, however as cryptocurrency gains momentum around the world, this is starting to change, with some countries like El Salvador even officially adopting the use of Bitcoin.

I've registered for vega token sale but when I click the queue link it says "Queue link unavailable
Queue links are only available for qualified users that have successfully registered for the sale."
I thought it was just a random bug but today I tried to register for efinity sale and it says "You are not authorized to perform this action."
My only guess is that me and my brother has separate coinlist accounts and we use the same wifi internet connection. They probably thought we are bot or having multiple account or something else. I always followed the rules. Never tried to cheat or abuse the queue or anything. What should I do now?
Coinlist is surely a title that is no stranger to traders with the provision of so a lot of quickly-developing tasks that we have to scramble to hunt on the platform. But in accordance to the most up-to-date data, Vietnam will most likely be wholly out of the Coinlist game in the long term.
In current occasions the phenomenon of cheating on the accounts of Vietnamese consumers has been expanding as the circumstances for participating and winning tasks offered on Coinlist are more and more tough. Despite Coinlist’s stringent situation of cheats and alerts, the account will be constrained and you will not be permitted to participate in the following token revenue.
There are also a lot of personalities who publicly publish cheat account revenue deeds in the media to “consumers” on the hunt for token revenue on Coinlist.

And, of program, what is to come will come. CoinList has banned all Vietnamese accounts and foreign accounts relevant to Vietnamese IP. When accessing the world wide web and logging in, the consumer will get a message saying “You are not authorized to perform this action”.
Also, in Coinlist’s most up-to-date token sale registration part, it is clear that foreign consumers have obtained a warning that the token sale will not be presented to Vietnam.
Coinlist is regarded as a probable playground for tasks with substantial earnings. This is a hefty and very unfortunate end result for Vietnamese consumers.
