Is bitcoin legal in Guinea Bissau?
Guinea Bissau has no law that prohibits or regulates bitcoin, so buying and holding are legal by default and completely unsupervised. The country is a member of the West African Economic and Monetary Union, where the regional central bank, the BCEAO, sets financial rules; it has studied crypto-assets but licenses no crypto platform anywhere in the union. With one of the region's thinnest banking systems, there is no realistic domestic recourse if a foreign platform fails.
