China thinks David cameron and NY are going to ban Bitcoin shortly.

There's some noise about UK banning all crypto, ALL crypto, not just coins. "It's only for terrists" etc.

I don't think it's cryptocurrencies specifically just encryption, which is going to be difficult because of course all sorts of technology falls under that category, as I've said before I think it's David Cameron tryig to appeal to his social conservative base, unfortunately I'm probably going to have to take a closer look at what the politicians are planning on this.

Cameron wants to ban end-to-end encryption so that his spy-agencies can (continue to) snoop on everyone. This affects messaging apps, email etc.
Bitcoin is not affected, though they will want to de-anonymize all transactions eventually.

Good luck with that, Cameron Clown, especially when you are voted out in 4 months time.
