How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Bolivia

Buying cryptocurrency in Bolivia

Buying cryptocurrency in Bolivia Bolivia is one of those countries that banned cryptocurrencies despite them becoming a growing trend in the financial world. Back in 2014, they prohibited the use of cryptocurrencies in commercial transactions or payments. The laws against using cryptocurrencies became even stricter over time. In fact, the Bolivian authorities arrested 60 individuals back in 2017 because they were supposedly being trained on investing in cryptocurrencies. This goes to show how strictly the country has banned any use of these non-traditional digital currencies. Overall, even the most popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are viewed with skepticism in this country. The adoption is quite slow, almost non-existent to this day. However, there is a whole community of advocates who are pushing the government to start adopting the use of digital currencies for the sake of economy and equality. Whether they are going to succeed at making a change remains a question. For now, there is still a ban on using cryptocurrencies, although some Bolivian users still managed to trade a monthly average of $21 300 on Paxful in 2020 alone
