We are witnessing nations opening up to cryptocurrency, the numbers might not be alarming but one after the other a difference is being made.
First El Salvador adopts Bitcoin as legal tender, Tanzania's president advises the country to embrace cryptocurrency, now we have Tunisia in the news as its economy minister aims to decriminalize Bitcoin purchase.

I will change the law, we cannot put a Tunisian young man in prison for buying bitcoin. Source

Sadly a 17 year old was jailed for buying Bitcoin with allegations of money laundering against him. There are some cruel actions taken against people involved in crypto out there that are unknown.

It is however a good move by Tunisia's minister Kooli to decriminalize Bitcoin purchase in the country.

Countries opening up to Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency is slowly taking shape which is good to see.
On the market side of things BTC currently trades at $39,092.01 according to Coingekco a -2.5% dip from $41.6k peak in 24 hours.
