Banning Bitcoin or any Crypto currency for that matter, will push them into the dark age when it comes to financial innovation. The rest of the world will move forward and create very innovative and

inspiring ideas and projects, whilst they will stay stuck in the old fiat system. Bitcoin are opening doors to many new exiting possibilities and some countries are not seeing the bigger picture. I always

look back at the start of the internet and what people said back then... and how that compares to what they are saying now. {This echoes everything that are being said, now by this advisor} The

funny things is.. Every country in the world, are using the internet now, and for much more than... what was said, back then.  Grin Grin Grin Grin
