Hmm Well FU Thailand this is why your country won't develop mumble (Rage)
But seriously that really is interesting news I mean the Thailand Central Bank isn't that powerful in fact until this article I did not even know of its existence to be honest or that Thailand even used a Central bank. That said if other Central Banks follow Thailand's lead it will be interesting

I request a confirming article takes with a grain of salt

I missed the memo! When did Bitcoin get lips?

Quote

Bitcoin said it "has no choice but to suspend operations until such as time that the laws in Thailand are updated to account for the existance [sic] of Bitcoin", adding that "the Bank of Thailand has said they will further consider the issue, but did not give any specific timeline".

Yeah I noticed that too, kinda odd phrasing but I think they're referring to Bitcoin Co. Ltd, the Thailand company that has suspended operations due to the ruling.

Andrew Trotman has been banned from providing news in, about, around, etc. Thailand. Somebody said, "Andrew has no choice but to suspend writing until such as time that the laws in Thailand are updated."

The ruling means it is illegal to buy and sell Bitcoins, buy or sell any goods or services in exchange for Bitcoins, send any Bitcoins to anyone outside of Thailand, or receive Bitcoins from anyone outside the country.
