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

So when the non-existent unified one world government makes mining illegal in all 208? countries on the planet ... how exactly would they enforce it?
Last time I checked growing certain herbs is illegal (in some parts of the world, sometimes, for some reasons) however I am pretty sure people still grow them.
yeh i know. But in all due respect it would be a lot easier to shut down the miners then the system. . Last time I checked growing certain herbs is illegal (in some parts of the world, sometimes, for some reasons) however I am pretty sure people still grow them.
no ?
No,
Weed growing is a lot easier to find and shut down, and it would have to be a massive grow for them to take notice.
Most people grow 1-3 plants which is ridiculously hard to find and shut down. You'd be have to be running like 1 Terahashes for them to even notice.
Mining can survive on many smallers nodes, but the marijuana industry relies on large Mexican drug lords that if shut down could heavily stop the flow of weed into the US.
Thats what this so called 'War on Drugs' is about.
Still, how do they differentiate mining traffic with regular internet traffic ?
Satoshi was a genius to use the concept of mining to grow the currency.

Not a play at all it could be done . to deny is foolish. .
HOW?

Nope, still don't get you.
How is this treat that will shut down all miners on the globe going to manifest itself?
Its nice playing "what if" scenarios, but they need some sort of credence before you should consider planning to counter them. If we had to plan for every contingency it would be ridiculous, for example;-

in order for bitcoin to survive miners need to be protected . and if you got a rig drawing 2 grand a month . . it's easy picking fairly easy to be discovered .. unless we all have a payable programe joining in unity -in part to draw bitcoins . .as a unity .. like a lotto. but that means we all need to chip in . That way the source of bitcoin minning could never be shut down. . d'you know what i mean?

The question you have to ask is how? Sure, the US could make mining illegal but that is just the US, perhaps it could pressure other governments to do the same but not all governments will fall into line (most wont if you ask me).

Illegal where?
Mining is spread all over the world, I don't think we actually need a solution.

Bitcoin depends on miners right. . What if mining became " Illegal." What to do then. solutions. .
