First of all my government is not against bitcoin and are good with it but in cases if my government will make the use of it as illegal then it will be very hard for me to use it but if I will need it in extreme cases then I will try to use those means of its use which will not show my identity like I will use anonym places to use bitcoin and will not register on those wallets and exchanges where I will have to provide my identity.
Laws and public policy can change very rapidly specially when there is economic and political turmoil as is the current situation in the world, so if you can take those measures right now that way if in your country bitcoin gets banned you will not be identified as a bitcoin user.

Well, that's a good news but that decision is not permanent, if they see that there's a rampant illegal transaction involving the use of bitcoin, they might make necessary measures to strengthen the law or possibly ban bitcoin. I don't know, I am just saying all the possibilities.

Until now, my government still banned bitcoin. I don't know when this happens will be end. If bitcoin approve, I sure make new opportunities.
In what country do you live? I think your government doesn't even know that you are in bitcoins. So you can just simply earn bitcoins while the government is not going to know it. Because Russia way back few months ago, they banned bitcoin after months again they removed the ban for the usage of bitcoin and now people who are using bitcoins there are now happily using bitcoin.
If the government ban something, there are two reasons, first, they know that the thing is illegal, second, they have no knowledge about it and thinks that it is also illegal. With regards to banning, I think I won't use anything that the government is going to prohibit as long as there is a good explanation to it. So if they are going to ban bitcoin, they better have a good explanation and I will lawfully obey.

Problem is Bitcoin needs good publicity because it wants to get socially accepted, sure it can't be stopped, but government and mass media can make it scary enough so that people won't use it.
Bit Torrent either can't be stopped, but it never had the will to get socially accepted.
Obviously we will need a new financial crisis for people to actually need Bitcoin regardless of what their governments says...
Ask the people of Cyprus, i think they understand pretty well why they do need a decentralized currency https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/mar/25/cyprus-bailout-deal-eu-closes-bank
Bitcoin really needs some good publicity as majority of people still do not know anything about bitcoin, they still need a proper guidance to start using bitcoin, and as soon as the number of bitcoin users are increasing bitcoin will become more and more stronger, through this way, government will also get pressure and they will start thinking about accepting bitcoin as legal and official currency. Bit Torrent either can't be stopped, but it never had the will to get socially accepted.

Bitcoin does represent people, and we are free to choose what we wanna, and speak as long it doesnt offends the other person. I dont like some rules and restriction about what you can do with fiat, that makes bitcoin more and more atractive, i wont stop using bitcoin because the politicians say its a problematic currencie or ponzi.

In which country you are living, I hope this will change but you can still use it a bit because its pretty easy to use it anonymous.

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?
yes , why not ? made illegal by by government because government don't knows about bitcoin many think usefully from bitcoin like help income , easy to transaction
so i think i will use it

At least I am not dealing with syndicate of drugs, crime or any other illegal activities. I think using of bitcoin is not already considered a crime although it was made illegal by the government and as I am only hoarding and not using it to buy illegal stuffs online then there's no reason for me to be arrested and I am anonymously hoarding bitcoin so how will they know ?

My country also prohibits the use of bitcoin, but it does not stop using bitcoin, the effect is not too bad after all. there are still local exchange, and you can still convert it into fiat, it makes no difference November 23, 2016, 05:21:44 PM
The US Gov and most any other would look stupid trying to stop something that cant be stopped. I dont think they would even think about it at this point. So its moot.
November 23, 2016, 04:27:06 PM
it can be bad if i disobay the gobernment dkrect rules but the worst it will happen if i leave bitcoin i know how much potentiality they have and i am not only saying it because of the money price but also because of the scopes it will be implemented on. its easily predictable what we have after 10year

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?
You asked two questions and my answer to first one is YES I would still use bitcoin even if it was declared illegal by Government.To your second question i.e if I would still openly support it, I would say NO as I don't see any point in going to jail for bitcoin Jump to:
