Asian countries are pegged to the dollar (that's how the Americain Empire has been really built according to John Perkins one of the first Economics Hitman recruited by the NSA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confessions_of_an_Economic_Hit_Man)
So it is understandable that they had been pressure to prevent virtual currency to compete with the dollar there.

Believe me that only reason they will accept BTC officialy for is just to rob you (read: taxes on it).

I dont worry much about Thailand,,,,
Bitcoin is legal in Sweden and according to the Swedish SEC (finansinspektionen) it is to be classified as a "means of payment" (i guess currency).
Sweden is a part of the European union and hopefully the EU has reached a consensus on the issue and than Bitcoin is here to stay.

For small countries, bitcoin is a big threat. But for big countries like the US, btc has little impact on the legal tender. So I think there is little policy risk in a short run.
Sure! You can't give much money or much power to someone who can't handle that.
The consequences would be catastrophic.
Anyway, I hope Thailand is the first and the last country where bitcoins are illegal.
Thread title is incorrect. Bitcoin is not illegal in Thailand. It is just a pile of FUD.

It is a canard, you don't have to hope Thailand is the "first" one. Haha.

I am not sure about it. One thing is sure that any government does not want to lose their power of issuing currency. Big countries do not have to worry about it now.
Whats needed (IMO) is a Credit system THAT IS TIED TO LIMITED PRECIOUS VALUBLES. If there is no limit on "how much is out there" then eventually majority of currencies will suffer Inflation.
Fuck, a chocolate bar already costs 40% more than what I remember it costing as a kid, And my rent has also gone up $400 since i started living here
While on the other hand, Bitcoin value just keeps going up.
So whats the problem? The Gov's cant Issue bitcoins.

This is a valid point. The float of bitcoin already has surpassed the M0 money supply of many smaller nations ... https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/parity-watch-whos-next-154954
If I was a central banker for a "Parity Watch" country I would be considering either adopting parallel currency tender laws to encourage bitcoin circulation or banning it altogether (whilst recognising ultimate futility)
... do you see anybody lining up to buy Burkina Faso Burkinabe CFA Francs before bitcoins?
