Bitcoin legalized in Uzbekistan and Iran

News have emerged in Bitcoin being legitimazed in Uzbekistan.
A decree has been signed that permits the existence of cryptocurrency exchanges and other activity surrounding the industry. At the same time Iran's government is allegedly about to recognize Cryptocurrency Mining as Industry.
Which are your thoughts on that? I find the Iranian news especially interesting, as energy prices are very cheap in Iran.

Yes, I also read this news on the Facebook homepage of my friend who shared this news, even I was surprised by the current Bitcoin price in Iran which reached more than $ 20,000 at the moment, but unfortunately the price only applies to bitcoin in the country not for global prices .

This is just the beginning of the mass adoption of bitcoin. Bitcoin has come to stay and no government would be able to stump it out. And with time, if they realize they can't content with it, they will just adopt it. But won't this legalization have any impact on the decentralization of bitcoin?

This is just one more step for global digitalization. These countries get several advantages in setting the pace, especially with the low energy prices in Iran... on many other countries I believe that a lot of people are accumulating, so the rate of these changes is slower. Bitcoin decentralization is becomng almost a mith...

This is just a guess and uncertain. But I'm happy to hear it because positive news like this will have a good impact on the price of bitcoin and altcoin. And my hope that this is true news.
