If bitcoin was banned, there would be mass protests all over the world. Bitcoin community will retaliate by hacking government websites and shutting down their servers.
"Mass protests" That's cute
. Given that we might be less than 1 million all around the world, most of us don't go outside and just play with our computer all the time, and most of us would be too lazy to care, there wouldn't be mass protest that's going to happen. Maybe there would be some but it would happen online, not in the real world.
Just to add, bitcoin community is not the same community as the black hat community. We might be able to hire some hacker but we can't pay them at all since bitcoin is banned (hypothetically).
I guess, this thing would not happen, because how things will be ban if at first it is not recognized by the government itself?
The government is aware of bitcoin long time ago. They just don't announce it in the media as it will just end up becoming a promotion of bitcoin. It would just spread the word.
Like here our country, only few of my countrymen knows about bitcoin, there is ATM for bitcoin like what other countries’ have, there is no restaurant accepting bitcoin as mode of payment, but I heard a news that here in our country the bitcoin was once used as payment on illegal activities.
Nothing new at that at all since fiat is being used as payment for illegal activities ever since. Every currency that's valuable enough will always be used for something shady.
It is hard to implement the ban thing to bitcoin dude, how can you ban something inside the internet? You can access it everywhere and anywhere and anytime, I think it might happen but it takes time.
True. Online gambling and porn is restricted/banned yet we're still able to browse them like it's legal.
