No. I would never use bitcoins if it was termed illegal. I don't even gamble as it's illegal and I don't want to face any legal problem due to a currency. However, I can still see people from countries where bitcoins are banned and termed illegal still trading but they are taking a huge risk.

You know many countries government are not accept the bitcoin, but their people are using it online and bitcoin became a great source of income for them, So how you can say that if your government not accept it than you will not use it. Its mean that you will left the bitcoin.

ahham, it is indeed something very funny. I think he's just their imagination or argue on things that will never happen. If indeed the Government already banned or did not receive it then the growth will not be as good as bitcoin now and give you an advantage for everyone.

Even goverment banned bitcoin. Bitcoin still can use the bitcoin becouse its anonimity.event goverment can not rule bitcoin and the users. By the way goverment do not have any good reason to banned bitcoin. If they banned bitcoin becouse it was used in illegal activity, they should banned their fiat too becouse ma be somebody use it for illegal activity. They can not judge the currency becouse of users illegal activity. They should judge the users not the currency.

At some point we need to stop following orders.
What will happen when government declares "the internet" illegal?
What happens when they implement sharia law in my country?
At want point do I start fighting back?

Bitcoin its considered ilegal and i still use it, in fact i dont care about what the government does say, they should be worried into care about the financial problems affecting the country and not hunting people that does wanna earn some money online, and all the things that were not allowed to do from my family i had done and took the punishement doing such.

its mean you have good control on your wishes, but i cannot do so, i have to play gambling and use bitcoin, if my country now allowing me to use bitcoin and play gambling then i have to move to some where else where bitcoin as well as gambling is legal.

Use Coinbase Account almosanywhere with Shift card

How hard they go after BTC use is a factor. If SWAT is raiding my home as if I was a ISIS member just because they found my real name from posting here and see a coinbase tx in my checking account.

This is not impossible if government declares BTC use is a sign of Domestic Terrorism and intent to overthrow the Federal Reserve. Today tinfoil hat crazy, 5 years from now... Huh

IRS declares BTC use is illegal tax avoidance with fines and jail time for simple possession of a BTC wallet.dat.

On the other hand if they don't actively search out BTC users but just add it on as an 'enhancement' to other crimes like they can for using a computer and other BS charges to convince you to 'voluntarily' plea bargain. I would probable be much more discreet but still use it.

Bitcoin is not under any government so it doesn't matter what opinion they have about it, I have very strong believe in it and this is way to live with freedom and use this with anonymity and with more better privacy, I would stay with it if they ban it because I love this innovative cryptocurrency.

Yes!
I mean, why not?
I'm sure that my government can't control all Internet traffic in the country.
Also, I will not hold BTC on my computer or in my country, so they can't order me what I will do out of my country

Any way, I really don't think that something like this will happen because our politicians are stupid and don't understand BTC at all (probably never heard about it lol).

Let's be honest, a lot of illegal stuffs are being done on the Internet especially on the deep web. A lot of people do this all the time and do you see the news flooding about cyber crime? The answer is no.

Maybe it's because their identity is hidden, the government doesn't actually care about all of these illegal stuffs going on, or maybe the government's cyber army's force is too weak to trace users. Bitcoin will just be one of those illegal stuffs going on in the Internet if it's been made illegal by the government.

If Bitcoin was made illegal by your government and the punishment was very bad, would you still use it, would you still ~~openly~~ support it?

so far, luckily there has been no laws about using bitcoin. so i am glad that i don't have to decide about this question in reality and it is only hypothetical for me so far.

but in this hypothetical situation, i think i will still continue using bitcoin, even if it were illegal to do it. but if i wanted to start using it and it was illegal i don't think i would have!

Thats why OP is just assuming regarding on this situation which if bitcoin would be banned by government. YOu are right this situation is hypothetical but still for sure many people would tend to use it even it would be banned since bitcoin is anonymous they cant easily catch those people who disobey the rules of government.

You know in my country and also most of the countries, bitcoin is illegal but instead of it everyone use it. Now if i am talking about myself, So in my country bitcoin is illegal and even majority of people have no sense about bitcoin, even they don't know about any crypto currency, but still i am using it and i feel i am lucky that i know about bitcoin and know how to earn money from it.

Bitcoin in my country is legal for some product like electricity, phone bill but for other products is prohibited. However, many people use bitcoin for transaction that is not public because it is difficult to trace. In indonesia the legal currency is Rupiah. Using bitcoin for such products is not ilegal but for others I have never tried.

O.O can you show to us where you find it?
How can they allow to buy something and deny to buy other?
Sounds like bs for me...

I would not use bitcoin if it is already illegal in my country.Why I would used that if it is illegal even though you use it in nice way.It so scary. I do not want go to in jail for violating something is illegal.better be safe than regret in the rest of your life.

well that's good that actually what you will do,but if you are didn't fear about government (by the way government is not like what you see in a movie that they can detect people in few minutes that is actually bullshit even though there's exist but only 1st tier countries) you can still avoid without being detected regardless to the risk you're going to have

Plenty of activities have been made illegal by the government but a lot of people are still doing it. They don't get in jail unless they get caught on the act by someone who isn't loyal enough to them to not report them. The same thing would happen to Bitcoin. We can all hide our identity but if somebody has a strong evidence that we're using Bitcoins, then they can sue us in no time. I'd still use Bitcoin at that point, even though.
