Unless someone discovers a way to do margin trading on a decentralized exchange and match the speed of centralized exchanges, then no its not happening.

Rule 14 of the internet - Do not argue with trolls — it means that they win.

seriously dude if someone is calling you a twat with no provocation, it means they are trying to get a rise out of you, don't give them what they want.

I was always keen on "Shitcoiners"

People need to stop wasting their time debating Kiklo, he is clearly an idiot.

Segregated witness, HD wallets, pruning, speed and memory improvements, and 13 BIP's added on top of all of that.  Christ this is one behemoth of an update, bravo.

It may indeed be impossible to ban bitcoin in the long term, but in the short to medium term? It would IMHO be very messy should a major economic player attempt such a thing.

Imagine the US gov. shutting down coinbase/bitstamp/etc, even declaring jail time for those that are caught using bitcoin after the ban.  Bitcoin investors would panic and most bitcoin holders would make a mad dash for the exit, cratering the price.  It would almost certainly end up recovering eventually (as you said it would require a NWO to ban completely), but who knows how long that might take; in the meantime btc wouldn't look so good as store of value even to those not directly affected.  I feel a ban from a major nation such as the US or China would not be a negligible event, and I would imagine Armstrong is thinking along those lines.
