I've been hearing a lot about Bitcoin and its increasing popularity worldwide. But, I'm still not entirely sure about its legality in Canada. Could you clarify for me? Is Bitcoin considered illegal in our country? If not, what kind of regulations does the Canadian government have surrounding its use? I'm particularly interested in understanding whether individuals can freely buy, sell, and hold Bitcoin in Canada without facing any legal consequences. Additionally, are there any tax implications or specific reporting requirements that I should be aware of? It would be great if you could provide a comprehensive overview of Bitcoin's legal status in Canada.
