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?
A bunch of corrupted politicians will vote a law against cryptocurrencies and I am supposed to obey it?Of course no,if this ever happens I will have one more reason to keep using Bitcoin and support it even more,as long as I am not harming anyone it is my right to use any currency I want and a stupid law is not enough to make me stop.

I will stop using it since it is illegal, doing illegal things is not good in the eyes of God
Sorry but are you trolling?I respect your faith but even if we accept that god exists he has absolutely nothing to do with this

I will stop using it since it is illegal, doing illegal things is not good in the eyes of God, and i want to work hard to achieved my goal and i do not like to achieved my goal because of the illegal things.
Stop mixing God in our problems. Do you honestly think hat everyone banned by government is wrong? And the government is always right?

Human history of fatal judgement and bad decisions made by people in charge. Hate towards bitcoin is only a sign that some people are slaves of the old, flawed economic system.

So politicians and regulators are the will of God on this Earth? Are you absolutely certain of this? I can think of at least one or two, maybe even more, who have a small problem with morals.

Well, if bitcoin became illegal in my country because my government issued a policy that bitcoin is something illegal, I will still use it. Well, today bitcoin has become my income, and it has so much influence in my life. if the government banned the use bitcoin, I will still use it, but I will use it to supplement my income, not for illegal transactions

I think the answer will NO for most of them as , if it is declared Illegal by government and even then if we use Bitcoin then it will become like doing Illegal work like smuggling. So i will not use it and even i am not keeping anything in Bitcoin as i convert everything to my fiat currency.

In my country, the law is very strict. If my government really made Bitcoin illegal, I have to say, unfortunately, I will have to throw away all my Bitcoin and stay away from Bitcoin. I might join some other Altcoins if they only ban Bitcoin and not all the cryptocurrencies.

However, I do not think my government will make Bitcoin illegal because my country is a tech-savvy country. To add on, there is good (sometimes bad but mostly positive) news about Bitcoin in the local newspaper every now and then. I live in Singapore.

Yes, I would still use it but I will only use computers located outside of my country to store and transact the bitcoins. I would avoid transactions with people from my own country. At some point I will give up my citizenship and move to a free country where bitcoins are not illegal.

and once you're moved, and the free country you moved to suddenly also puts all kinds of restrictions (ban) regarding bitcoin usage, will you move again? in my case, i would simply rent myself a vps and do my bitcoin related stuff from there.

the punishment part is a little bit scary!
what kind of punishment are we talking about, so far i have not yet seen any country to have that big a punishment for using bitcoin (or maybe i have not seen it).
anyways, i think i will think twice before using bitcoin, and it is possible to hide tracks when using bitcoin so i guess i will continue using it.

If Government in my country makes bitcoin illegal then there is no point in using them as if I get caught then people around me will start thinking that I am involved into some criminal activities which will spoil my image in society.

Why would I use something illegal? That makes me a criminal, I would rather wait for the country to legalize it using it again.

if the government of my country made the bitcoin as illegal then i will stop the use of bitcoin for my nation respect but i will indirectly support to the Bitcoin because of its importance in my life .

Definitely not as i dont want a conflict. I dont want to be in jail, it would be bring me shame as well as to my family. We know in our area as a good family. No one has a bad habit. I'd rather choose leaving the oppurtunity of bitcoin than getting into jail and bring shame to my family.

I would say yes, because i have no other ways to earn money and the money i'm earning through bitcoin have changed my life already, if government bans it and someone finds me using it i would probably ask them to give me money when i'm sitting at home and then i wont be using it anymore, thats it.

If bitcoin was made illegal I would most definitely still use it cause I don't like people telling me which currency I can use and can not for their own profit.
Anyways bitcoin is pretty anonymous so if I'd handle it discretely nobody would have to find out.

Yes i have to use bitcoin till i sell all my bitcoin. I don't have much in my wallet but how much I have is my own earning and I can't afford to loss my bitcoin. and I also have many small small business like faucet and bitcoin giveaway subscription so before leaving bitcoin I have to stop all my business otherwise bitcoin would continuously come in my wallet and all those amount would go waste because i am no longer going to use bitcoin.

It is really obvious that if it's illegal of course you wouldn't do it. Maybe some people will do it, those people who have enough guts to do illegal activities like what you're saying. If you're still a sane person, I'm sure you will not do this kind of act because your life might be the at risk when you do this.
