Do u understand the fact that politicians are mostly corrupt in India and they are discovering bitcoin as a new tax heaven? As long as these corrupt politicians are at power, bitcoin will never be banned, just like agriculture will never be taxed.

Now, do not interpret my word as bitcoin is for the corrupt. Bitcoin is a protocol. It is many things to many people. Just like email. Governments communicate through email, just like terrorists do. But, neither an email, nor a bitcoin can kill a man. Its the user who commits the crime.

While u r discussing about Indian government, take your time to see what an European parliamentarian is talking about - "I'd suggest everyone to get some bitcoin" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI95Dw3bmt4

Government would be foolish if they ban bitcoin just because terrorist started using it.Will they ban fiat also because most terrorist funding are done in fiat?Has American Government ban building bombs and guns because terrorist also use them?It is ridiculous to ban bitcoin for its usage by criminals or terrorist

you are right but without fiat and weapons any country can't be safe or can't run accurately.because fiat is useful for poorest and weapon also used for safe country from terrorist. but why bitcoin is required to to everyone it was developed in 2009.before 2009 no one knew about crypto currencies.

and aslo if terrorist use fiat or bank,paypal,payza payment method they can be caught in second. not sure with fiat because fiat can be deal hand to hand.but also dealing with fiat they must have to take effort.

Yes fiat and weapons both are important for any nation.As you said fiat is also difficult to trace many a times and bitcoin can also be traced in many cases.

If we consider about India or any country government cannot ban this.
This not controlled by anyone its open source and decentralized. No one control it. And if we are in India and if gov. not allow it. Then there are many other option where user can exchange their cryptocurrency to other tradable currency as USD or GBP or EURO. And then take them to home.

But I think government must not have to take part in this global revolution. Already in India Digital India campaigning is going on.

And if government now allow then it will cause major problems in economy and finance.

It is next to impossible to ban bitcoin. I repeat, it is almost impossible, unless you ban all forms of networking(sms, internet, radio...which they try hard to do in some countries but a truly encrypted message looks like noise).

This is the nature of peer-to-peer technology similar to how government cannot ban torrents. It can ban centralised services like songspk but not the decentralised ones.

Government may ban bitcoin but how effective that ban would be is another matter.Russian government has already banned it but there are still many Russian bitcoin users active on this forum itself

i don't think the government can stop Indians from using bitcoin still even if they ban it.
its a lot beneficial for governments to allow btc instead. more than half the population of India i believe are into online jobs and bitcoin should be able to help their growth.

In which world do you live?
i mean everyone known bitcoin is completely ban in taiwan and some others country.government can do anything what they want.and government not had to banned sms,radio,signal for banning bitcoin in taiwan according to you.

[btvGainer]

Yes that is true.It is not possible for any government to prevent citizens from using bitcoin completely

more than half the population of India i believe are into online jobs and bitcoin should be able to help their growth.

Half the population in online job? you must be kidding, aren't you?

Banning is different from using. Using after banning would be illegal.
Yeah I would be surprised even if 2% population is on online jobs.

[mynameisdon]

what,bitcoin didn't get too fame as you thinking. i think only 4% people using bitcoin from india.it haven't get fame as you are expecting.

What if I can demonstrate you sending btc to Taiwan and receiving it back? Want to make a bet?
What if I send litecoin? That won't even be illegal..
What if I send theDAO tokens? That is not even a cryptocurrency..

Indians do not respect or even know the law.
E.g. : It is illegal to drive anywhere in the middle/right of the road. Quoting from Indian law, "The  driver  of  a  motor  vehicle  shall  drive  the  vehicle  as  close  to  the left side of the road as may be expedient..".
E.g. : Porn was illegal in India until recently. Ministers were caught watching porn in the parliament.

so now you are going illegal way.if something is banned it mean if you are using it you are a criminal in eye of government. because rule is rule!

and in other way yes porn is illegal,rape is illegal,even if bitcoin get illegal and if people are using it so its another matter.because everyone knows Indian lows destroyed behind corruption.

but i am saying on your statement yes banning bitcoin is possible. but illegally using vpn,proxy you can do it. and i don't gonna bet with you because i know what will do after this,from which i am already aware.

you didn't get me.i just wanted to say that if bitcoin get banned normally it can't be used.then you just have to take some illegal way for accessing this.
thats it.

If government ban bitcoin,the fear of getting punished will prevent lot of people using bitcoin.Unless one has lots of coins at stake,nobody will take all the pain touse vpn etc to spend bitcoin
