  As an expert in the field, I can tell you that buying bitcoin in Egypt is not illegal, but it's important to be aware of the regulations and restrictions in place. The Central Bank of Egypt has issued a statement clarifying that cryptocurrencies are not considered legal tender, which means they are not officially recognized as a form of payment. However, this does not mean that buying or owning bitcoin is illegal. The government has not explicitly banned individuals from engaging in cryptocurrency transactions, but they have cautioned against the potential risks involved. It's advisable to use reputable exchanges and comply with any applicable regulations and reporting requirements to ensure a safe and legal transaction.
