Speaking at least in the United States, bitcoin will not be banned.  It is and will continue to be regulated on the state and federal level.

Regulation is a good thing. It is the inevitable consequence of widespread adoption and acceptance.  We want regulation: careful, competent regulation.

I think "we" would prefer no regulation. However, given the inevitability of regulation, it is better to take the initiative and propose a regime that is workable. This is the classic lobbying technique of most well-organized industries. Voluntarily submit to regulation that you propose, to head off more draconian approaches from entrepreneurial politicians.

Hi everyone. I'm a business attorney in New York City.  I've been involved in cryptocurrency for some time now.  I hope I can be of some help on this board.  I can't give you legal advice via posts, but if you PM me, we may be able to discuss the particulars of your business.

Full disclosure: There's no such thing as an expert or specialist in bitcoin law, and I am certainly not one.  I'm an attorney with experience in securities, civil fraud and other financial matters with particular emphasis in the tech realm.  There is almost zero judicial and legislative guidance out there for us practitioners, so many of us are trying to keep ourselves out in front of every new development as they arise.

I'm daily fascinated by what bitcoin is and what it can become, and I'm looking forward to becoming part of the community!

This maybe of intertest for you; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=187683.new#new
