Bolivia, Ecuador, Kyrgyzstan, and Bangladesh prohibited Bitcoin. In 2014, individuals and companies were banned from owning or trading cryptocurrencies. Nepal, although somewhat unknown to its citizens, followed suit, as did Morocco with the most recent official ban in November 2017. In addition to occurring amid the bitcoin boom at the end of the year, Morocco's ban also stands out for being approved just days after MTDS, a national digital service provider, announced its support for digital currencies.
