Attempting to stop bitcoin mining would be more futile than herding cats.
cheers. . But how. . Whose " everybody" the 2 to 20 % supplying us with bit coins. . ..
we all need to do it .. Everyone. .

OK, let just look at this situation carefully.
We've got 208 countries in 7 continents. Very few of these countries government know anything about Bitcoin & many of these countries hate each other & will not talk to each other. There is no way they would all make Bitcoin mining illegal, at least one country is going to agree with Bitcoin as a concept and not want to ban it (in the weed example this would be Holland) or just not care, or want to increase tax income by allowing it.
What is more likely than every country banning it is that the US try to create a UN mandate banning Bitcoin mining. This means it would be illegal (controlled) in 193 countries. This is also extremely unlikely & would be heavily disputed & would take years and years to happen.
Its almost more likely that the super intelligent alien theory happens than a mandate coming out banning Bitcoin mining, but lets pretend it happens. How do they even catch anyone doing it? Miners IP's can be obfuscated using TOR, hard drives can be encrypted (in case of a raid by police) power bills can be reduced to nothing using ASIC's & said ASIC's can be manufactured in clandestine factories. How would they even begin to go around catching miners?
If Bitcoin mining was made illegal, I'd estimate less than 10% would stop as its not a morally wrong thing to do & its extremely hard to get caught doing and even harder to prosecute when caught.
Attempting to stop bitcoin mining would be more futile than herding cats.
Currency and weed have very little in common, but Yankee was trying to point out that even though weed is illegal, its everywhere. It being illegal doesn't stop people from using it, its more popular now than back when it was legal. The same applies if mining was made illegal, it wouldn't stop people from mining.
Weed is indeed a currency. I paid a plumber in weed the other day in fact. And a case of beer.
Two are totally distinguishable.
It still applies.
You think that if mining is made illegal, that everybody in the world is going to stop mining?

Oh oh no no, artificially high profits because some people will be scared, oh no, please, no, Mr Politician.
This is hilarious. What if they made alcohol illegal? Oh, been there, done that.
The point people are trying to make is that no solution is needed because enforcement is impossible.
And a best case for enforcement is that it may hinder mining in one country and just push some mining to other countries. And even if huge attempts were made at enforcement miners would just use a secure proxy and send traffic to another country. The traffic for mining is tiny and easily hidden if need be.

Wat is weird is that you are comparing bitcoin to weed growing .. This isn't a currency of weed growers . . it's a currency of revolutionists. .
I think your the one who is high lol
The point of the comparison and my response was to ask you: How could the government legally define mining and enforce it in a way it'll be upheld in court.
The weed comparison was in response to your comment
I'm not into difficulties . . weed growing and currencies are two different things ..
Thank you.
