I would definetly use it. Chances are small that the goverment would check my phone or anyones phone/computer to see if I Bitcoin is used. And the goverment is pretty lazy and wouldn't really care to check if I am using it. I wouldn't really openly support it, but I would still support it by using it and sharing it on the internet.

Bitcoin doesn't care about any government! Ban it as much as they want, they can't touch bitcoin! We will find a way to use it and we will not be stopped by just a simple ban from the government. It is our right to use it and they can't stop people from using it. Bitcoin is just like any other fiat money, why should they ban it?
as now we have become addicted to bitcoin and there it has become too much difficult to us to stop using bitcoin, as in our country there are so many other things that are illegal but still people are practicing them so i will try my best to practice using bitcoin even though it is consider as illegal i our county.

I am not entirely sure if my government even gives much of a damn about bitcoin, but if ever the day comes that they ban bitcoin for some reasons, I would continue holding it and just do my purchases online. It was meant to be a global currency so I am making use of it no matter what. But banning bitcoin altogether would just be stupid because it halts our progression towards a world where digital currency could become king.
Even if the government of your country does not seems to care that much they could always agree to follow some kind international agreement to ban bitcoin and make no mistake they don't want a future where a crypto currency is king. November 17, 2016, 10:16:25 AM
under exactly what terms?
one way or another, I still can sell them abroad or buy digital goods or buy goods abroad
depends on whether it will be worth or not

I dont agree with several measures the government does take and make, soo going against bitcoin is something i wont agree, and i will still use, since im not doing nothing to damage the current fiat system.
That argument won't wash in court. People may disagree with paying taxes, but they pay taxes all the same. This is to avoid getting punished for breaking the law. The same logic holds good if Bitcoin is made illegal too.

yea i will, because my government is not smart therefore i won't listen to him xd
i disagree for your opinion about goverment isn't smart , goverment just do not know about bitcoin so need to education for goverment about bitcoin .. November 17, 2016, 08:02:51 AM
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?
i wiil stay use it , and i support it .. i feel nothing wrong about bitcoin so goverment no need to ban it .. maybe there is chance but little

I think it's very unlikely but what if USD was outlawed and you could only use bitcoin? Would you give up all usd?

Apparently no matter how dumb your government is, anyone can still sue you if they find you doing something illegal. You will still be in jail when someone reports you. Your president isn't the one judging in the court room, it would be a different set of people. Nevertheless, it's quite easy to hide your identity anyway so no worries as long as no one catches you in the act and takes a photo of you. November 15, 2016, 08:51:11 PM

i still using bitcoin while its illegal by my governments, i think if as long as i don't make illegal transaction while using bitcoin, i think the government will understand beside that the government is really hard to know what i have to do with my bitcoin.

this is an interesting question in my opinion and there are a bunch of interesting replies but i think it comes down to how hard will be banned or made illegal.
and as someone who lives in a country that still has no rule about bitcoin and there has only been talk about it i fear these things but i guess i will continue holding some in my cold storage in any case but reduce my usage.

For me it would totally depend on the situations of my country because if i find others using it without any serious notice then i would do that too, but if i found someone being punished for using it in a bad way then i may stop using it.
probably I will do the same, but it depends on how strong the government bans bitcoins. if they don't seriously look for bitcoin users, but just announce the rule with no action, I'd like to think before stop using bitcoin. but in other side, if the government look for bitcoin users every day in a nimble way and they arrest those users they find, probably I will stop using bitcoin as soon as possible.

Although it will pain me to do so I will stop to use bitcoin since I will not want to risk jail time since the jails in my county are really a place you don't want to be in.
Well actually, to be honest with you, I'd rather do the things I know that I'd be happy with even if in the end it means jail time rather be a prisoner on this wide world that I'm "free" but being constantly monitored by the fucked up government. Also, why would I care if they made it as an illegal stuff? I mean, it's just a piece of cryptographical masterpiece lol. They are scared of getting dominated by anarchists believing in decentralization.

I will still use bitcoin, there are regulations to banned some illegal activities in every country but it never can be stopping people to do those things. Actually, in my country already band some sites that consider bad thing, but by using vpn people could visit the site.
Luckily bitcoin is digital currency that bring many advantages for us, so gov won't ever ban bitcoin I think.
Well it depends on a certain country on how they treat bitcoin, if they saw that bitcoins is a threat for them then they would surely ban it. As you said people would really still use it no matter how the government would restrict because there are lots of ways to access without being chased, as long there are internet and VPN we could access whatever we want , just be sure that they dont catch you.Luckily bitcoin is digital currency that bring many advantages for us, so gov won't ever ban bitcoin I think.
If they catch you then you will end up on jail and you will leave your family behind. If government would banned bitcoin in your country better not to force yourself because you cant still use bitcoin on your place but you could possibly cash out it on a different place if you have a friends on other country on which bitcoins is not banned yet.
