Topic: Senator asks U.S. to ban Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies - page 2. (Read 2228 times)
Even if it were banned world wide, it would still be of use in the United States...
The US government is not going to ban crypto.
It has however, learned that that which is prohibited cannot be controlled.
What it will do is threaten to ban in order to frighten some of you into accepting government regulation of a thing which was originally created to be out of reach of govenment control and it seems to be working.
You are like frogs in pans of water.
Heat it up fast and the frog will jump out.
Bring up the heat slowly and the frog will boil to death.

Is it possible to ban the senator instead? 
he comes up for re-election in 2018 ..
last year he backstabbed the NRA with his gun control ..
we really going to need an explanation for this behavior ..
The explanation for his aberrant behaviour is that he is a Democrat.

Heard this senator's top campaign contributor is...... the one and only JP Morgan.
I welcome a ban on crypto currencies, it will be the best marketing for crypto currencies.
Upon such ban people will realize even more that politicians care more about bankers than us.
At first cryptos will become a black currency, but when it becomes widespread enough like pot, they got to legalize it so they can tax it.

So I should have to live my life in fear that the government will track me down and arrest me for having Bitcoins? No thanks.
The concept of centralized state power is losing it's value as we see people rise up against dictatorship around the world.
One generation from now we might live in city states where each city decides it's own laws, if you don't like the law you can move to another city with better laws.
That's decentralized democracy.

Leave it to West Virginia to be afraid of change. It's a sad fact of reality that people are always afraid of what they don't fully understand.

There are far too many people around here who trust the government.

you been turning a blind eye to the nefarious activities on here or do you just log in for five minutes a day and put in your worthless 2 cents ?
You are suggesting that surrendering to the government control of crypto will bring to a halt the various "nefarious activities on here" to which you refer?
Very much as the long-standing federal illegalisation of marijuana has eliminated it?
Or perhaps much as the Volstead Act eliminated alcohol use?

Time for people to get unlazy, sign up, and vote.
worried about the economy ?? let's see we are been printing 85 billion for over a year .. then we start to taper and things are start to fail again .. i believe they cannot completely taper and i believe they cannot keep printing forever .. if the print forever then americans will be left holding a valueless currency .. if they taper then the economic recovery will start to fail .. what new system does the usa have in place to deal with the dollars demise ?? i do not believe that 'bail-ins' stealing americans money and stealing americans 401k's is solution that is going to work .. i think the reason china banned bitcoin is because they are buying and hoarding gold .. i personally think a gold backed currency is going to win against a currency that is that is debt . so unless the usa has a bunch of hoarded gold then we have to wonder what their PLAN is . crunch time might not be the best time to ban new technolgy alternate currency that has been successful.
Almost everywhere politicians are like these only. Either they have no brain or cockroach sized.

IMHO, not a wise thing to do.
Were the US government to declare Bitcoins to be legal tender it would therefore have complete control of that particular crypto.

I'm too a bit puzzled towards recognizing bitcoin as legal tender.
But this seems clear cut:
