Topic: Any chance for USA to ban bitcoin? (Read 593 times)
Looking at the current trend and the various statements from the SEC, i don't think the USA are going to ban bitcoin. It will just be regulations upon regulations
I don't think that USA can ban bitcoin in this moment because it's developped in all world and any negative action from USA will has a destructive causes not only in cryptocurency but in all others markets.
I do agree with you because at this moment bitcoin is at increasing point and it will increase more and more with time so I think it is quite possible that more countries will involve bitcoin instead of leaving or banning bitcoin, USA is a well-developed country and it must have the facilities of bitcoin usage and the increasing price of bitcoin will be a bit affected if the ban bitcoin but till now and for the long future there is no such chances.
Sometimes it is better to have a good opinion. Many altcoins discussed on BBS have their own opinions, so it is better to have their own opinions.
The United States has not banned the BTC, and the last time it was in a meeting, the United States said it would not fight or ban BTC, because there are so many americans buying BTC.
Every country are starting to ban. What if USA ban? how will it go?
I am not seeing a little hint about bitcoin being banned by such country's most likely USA. It is great that we or this countries are being given their people a freewill to stand on there own or do anything for themselves since there is no such reason to do this thing. There is no person being harmed or any sector.
No reason for them to ban bitcoin since bitcoin does not harm people and sector like you said.
USA is place for bitcoin being growing and i dont see bitcoin will be banned there.
However, there is always chance in any country to ban but the chance is nearly zero.
do you thing this is going to be an issue ? Far from a lot but i have some money invested in bitcoin
Americans still find the importance of Bitcoin to their country, so they do not prohibit it. You may not know that illegal US transaction are the reason why it is not forbidden. Bitcoin is still beneficial to the United States, and it still exists and is considered legal.

I don't see any country banning bitcoin. I don't think the U.S. will ban bitcoin, and the U.S. has recognized the legitimacy of bitcoin. I don't think these countries are banning bitcoin but illegal ico, they're worthless, they're completely fraudulent. In the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission and some state governments have made moves to regulate the trading of cryptocurrencies. Former SEC Chairman Harvey Pitt told CNBC last month that the commission was likely to make major regulatory changes to cryptocurrencies in 2018.
Although U.S. authorities arrested Jon E. Montroll, founder of BitFunder, a closed cryptocurrency exchange, accused him and his company of fraud. But this does not prevent people from buying bitcoins.
Right. Regulations doesn't mean a ban will take place. In fact, i think these regulations would even be better for bitcoin in the long run. Of course security issues will be raised and the government would have to find ways to protect the people from the negative aspects of crypto.
It wil be pretty bad if USA ban bitcoin cause US is number 1 country in the world and it also among the higher bitcoin hodler. But, I don't see such thing happen though cause bitcoin was already legalize in some state there.
Yes, bitcoin has already been used in some of the states for the different services, and a lot of people from different circles and social backgrounds have invested in the bitcoin and using it on different purposes since 2009. It is, therefore, not possible in the near future that the bitcoin will be banned in United States. If the government will ever think of banning this crypto currency, it will do it in some systematic way and not all of a sudden.
I heard a word of speculation about my friend who teach me bitcoin, that bitcoin is created either america or japan, or the two countries are the main creator of bitcoin. So if is really true, there's no need to worry about america banned bitcoin.

The United States has no reason to ban bitcoin. Bitcoin will drive a new economy. And even if it is hard for the United States to completely ban Bitcoin, blockchain technology also makes us realize the importance of cryptocurrencies.
I agree with you, because in my opinion it has been so long btc has helped advance the economy in US and if US tries to ban btc I think their economy will be a bit down
In their previous meeting through media they mentioned already there is no reason to ban the Bitcoin, blockchain is popular because of Bitcoin. Today we are using the technology behind the Bitcoin but there is no for it to ban, maybe US government will take some more time to get legalize the Bitcoin.

Most of the investors of bitcoin came from USA which they could even make the most of their time to be more productive, since it's another option for them to earn money. Another thing is it's baseless opinion, so low possibility to happen that it will banned.
I don't think they will outright ban it, but they will continue to impose more regulations in order to prevent illegal trading and users from not paying "investment" taxes (or whatever tax category bitcoin and altcoins would fall under). Also, considering bitcoin has been around for almost 10 years, if they really wanted to ban it they would have done it already.
No way it USA can ban btcs because a majority of USA people is using btcs. How can govt compensate their loss?
i don't think that usa will ban bitcoin , because he start in solving his problems and other cryptocurrecies has very good project
and they will affecte different industries , starting by finance and commerce and e-commerce and advertising ....
