Could you elaborate on the legality of Bitcoin in Qatar? I've heard some conflicting reports about whether it's allowed or prohibited in the country. With the ever-evolving landscape of cryptocurrencies, it's crucial to stay updated on the regulatory status in different jurisdictions. Could you clarify the current stance of the Qatari government towards Bitcoin and any potential restrictions or regulations surrounding its use?
