Crypto Industry News:

If you are a crypto-enthusiast and have thought about vacationing in Bali by paying Bitcoin for a coconut on the beach, you better rethink this plan. Bali's governor, Wayan Koster, seems a little less enthusiastic about cryptocurrency than blockchain enthusiasts. According to his warning, anyone who tries to pay for goods or renting a crypto surfboard can count on severe penalties.

In Bali, you will only pay with cryptocurrencies for a not-so-pleasant adventure with the local justice system. Using them as a means of payment can result in business closure, criminal sanctions, deportation and even a fine of up to 200 million rupees (approximately $13,300). All this because the only legal currency in Indonesia is the rupee.

These restrictions stem from a desire to protect the local currency from the widespread use of the dollar. However, there is a new option on the horizon, namely cryptocurrencies, which are gaining popularity among tourists and locals called "Silicon Bali". Despite this, local law is adamant - using them as a means of payment remains strictly prohibited.

In response to the regulations introduced by the government, many tourists expressed dissatisfaction. Some even go so far as to consider changing their holiday plans.
