  The spirit of "blockchain technology" is a distributed database in which
saved data is transparent, accountable, public, immutable, and traceable. This
base-level disruptive technology can boost the security and privacy-related
efficiency of various domains. As Bangladesh is currently aiming for
sustainable development, blockchain technology adoption by local researchers is
growing robustly. However, in Bangladesh, the blockchain Technology Acceptance
Model (TAM) is not yet well structured which is also limiting the perspective
of local developers and researchers. Therefore, sectors like governance,
healthcare, security, privacy, farming, information authentication,
cryptocurrencies, internet architecture, data, and so on are unable to utilize
the full potential of this technology. In this research, the authors conduct an
in-depth review of such types of blockchain technology-related research
articles that have been published recently and are also solely focused on
Bangladesh. From 5 publishers (IEEE Xplore, ACM, ScienceDirect, Taylor &
Francis, and SpringerLink) this study analyses 70 articles published during the
year 2016-2020. The study results find the top 13 sectors where Bangladeshi
researchers are currently focusing on. Those studies identify that the rigid
policy by the government, scarcity of expert researchers, and lack of resources
are the main reasons why Bangladesh is still struggling to accommodate
blockchain extensively. In addition, published papers are mostly based on
theoretical concepts without an appropriate implementation. Finally, this study
will be a great resource to the developers, entrepreneurs, and technology
enthusiasts to determine the strategic plan for adopting blockchain technology
in Bangladesh or even in any other developing country.
