What a bunch of sheep!
I thought bitcoiners were revolutionary, I was seriously wrong. But the case is clear to me. I'll keep on using BTC because I don't have much other choice. I don't have the right to open a bank account in the country I'm currently staying. Anyway, moving to another country is no big deal.

Just for curious if you arent able to open an bank account where you live, you forced to spend all earnings or try to save them better as you can alone. But looks like you are exchanging it to bitcoin a part of your income, are you working outside your country? I dont cara about what government says, because they only wanna more money from people, soo banning bitcoin for me would make me search even deeper to get them.

i would not expect it to happen but if someday my country considers bitcoin illegal i think i won't use bitcoin any longer

because it's too risky for my life and i don't want to get in jail because of bitcoin

If I was wealthy and able to afford good lawyers, then I would be more likely to take risks. Now I am lucky to not face the decision, since my country will probably allow Bitcoin now and in the future.

Probably not, I'm a wuss but I would need to know what the penalty is first. I would also want to know how strictly the law is being enforced. But I don't think that's going to happen in the US.

If Bitcoin Really Banned in My Country Then I Will Exchange My All Bitcoins Into Another Altcoin And Start Using the Other Altcoins To Grow My Money....
But It Is Not Possible Now....

uh, I think it's safe to say that if bitcoin is criminalized then so will everything else. they're not gonna add 'apart from bbq coin because it's kinda tasty'.

Yes, they will not even know that i continue using bitcoin because its anonymously transaction made also it can be tradable on other country's fiat then to exchange fiat to fiat currencies .
But then at first i don't have an idea why other country's don't accept bitcoin on they banned it ,maybe the only illegal way is the crime related underground transactions on market makes a bad effect on the people on a particular country.

As we know, some country banned bitcoin and it's illegal to use/own bitcoin there. But, i see some people who still use bitcoin even they know the risk.
So, would you keep use Bitcoin if government says bitcoin is illegal in your country? Even if they could spy you on internet?

If that really happened my country (i hope it won't happen), i would still use bitcoin, but i would use tor browser and paid/trusted VPN to do any bitcoin activity.

More info (might be not up to date) :
1. Legality of bitcoin by country
2. Is Bitcoin Legal?

Is anyone here thinking this through? It would mean there'd be no exchanges and no payment processors. Even if it were legal in your neighbouring country, no business would deal with you in the same way that no one from NY state can use most services.

Even for drugs that's of little use unless you're buying from abroad.

you were indeed correct, if indeed all people that are this in forum think so. Then they would have difficulty in doing all the things that exist in the bitcoin. But I am sure that it will not abandon something bad for them who does really want to be rich, because bitcoin will provide them riches in a short enough time when they did work hard

Most of the governments will never allow bitcoin to be legal in their country. Because Government wants to control the power of people. So they will not allow free distribution of money to their people. Instead they will try to capture the source of it and enjoy it's benefits.

However, due to the technological complexities, most of the government is not bothered by bitcoin. That's a good thing.

I think i have to fight for our rights lol. They cant just consider bitcoin as illegal even if it is used in legit ways like mining amg shopping but if do so then i have no choice at all

That's right i will to fight too, i think this is are our freedom for choosing any payment or currency is our want. and the goverment is can't regulate anything like they want. everyone is have a freedom.

I should really have to fight for it until we get the support from our government. Then it would be a great start for bitcoin users to grow more bigger and become useful

Well, it is always stated that "our rights ends when others rights starts"... Therefore, if government has a plan, then we have nothing to do with it, we have no choice but to follow, but since most of us is resilient enough, I think even if it is declared as illegal I think we will still pursue to collect bitcoin... There is always a way for things that could possibly make us alive or survive in life...

Yes , for me as long as we keep on using it on legal ways then there would be no ways that bitcoin will be considered as illegal by our government and i think they will support us instead

Yup... I hope no bank heist or any crime in the internet that could involve bitcoin... That way there is no reason for the government to monitor or ban the use of bitcoin... For now, I think it's just fine even if the government won't support bitcoin, as long as they are not planning to impose harsh move against bitcoin...

Absolutely but if the government will monitor bitcoin then i think there would be no problem for that. It only means thst they are starting to recognized bitcoin which is good for us

Of course. As a legit citizen of your country, you have every right to make a complain and be vocal about it.
But still, if the government says so, it is an ultimatum especially in a non-democratic country.

I don't know. I'm not sure yet. It will depend on the strictness of the government in terms of abolishing the currency within the country.
I mean as long as I can't be traced, I will still use it.
