I am making money with Bitcoin through trading. I will never let something come in between that. So yes, I will definitely keep using Bitcoin. In case of an exchange requiring documents from some one in a different country, then I simply make one of my family members outside the country sign up there.

I don't know if I personally would keep using Bitcoin if it was made illegal by the government, however I definitely would have a bit of an interest in avoiding the eyes of the law. I'm confident that a majority of people who already use Bitcoin likely wouldn't care and would continue to use Bitcoin even after it was declared illegal.

Of course I would. Moreover, I would even promote its usage to kill that illegal institution to the root.

Nope. What's the use of a type of money that has no use? I don't really want to pop abroad to meet sweaty men in souks to cash it out.

I would use it because i don't see any reasonable cause to made Bitcoin as illegal currency, in other hand we can easily convert the bitcoins into cash and fiat and as its decentralized currency, governments couldn't ban it.

I would use Bitcoin even if its get banned by our government, because i think there is no any risk to use it and also i prefer using this crypto currency than using fiat and other currencies.

I can't see how it would be made illegal but if it was I would still use it. I mainly use bitcoin to remain anonymous, if it was illegal it would be very difficult to find out exactly who is using it so I don't see how they would find out it is me using it.

I would use it.

They wouldn't know that i still use it anyway. If a gov bans something, it is probably useful for humanity. Not for them (the govs) but the people.

I don't think I would because I want to be a contributing citizen to my country and if it is an illegal thing to do then I won't do it. It is that plain and simple decision for me to make. Sad

Yes I still use it but I will not be exchanged to the local currency, I think the government will not know we use Bitcoin. I hope it's not happens.

It is very hard to imagine any democratic government could ban Bitcoin. They will sure try to regulate as much as they can and tax it when Bitcoin grow big and become mainstream, but even that will not be easy task for govs. Personally, to be honest, i dont know if i would use Bitcoin if it become illegal. I have wife and kids, not too bad job so risking to be charged for something what could be punished with years of prison slavery would be insane.

If Bitcoin was made illegal by your government and the punishment was very bad, would you still use it, would you still openly support it?

That's my right, and I will use that, I think a lot of another bitcoiners in my country had the same thing with me. I think the government is not just making rules like they want. I will still use bitcoin if bitcoin can give me a burger for free and are the government wanna for giving a burger for free to me?

It will be a little harder to use it in our country but we can easily use it for our digital uses and for shopping online. The government will not know that we are using bitcoins.

Yes I will going to keep on using it because there is no traced can be do to me by my cyber committee here in my country. Because any website is going to be accessed here and no certain restriction. And base upon working in bitcoin still I will going to keep on using it because there are no even stores that accepts bitcoin here.

I say fuck the government and pray i will not get caught.

Why would I sacrifice something that I've worked hard to earn?
So I will publicly support the government but still use bitcoin on the downlow. And when i earned enough then im outta this country.

I still want to use it as it was my way of earning extra money.  But if it will be made illegal by our government, I think it would be hard not to obey the law and their rules.  If there is a way to still earn through bitcoin I will gamble to it.  But I think it would be hard to exchange btc to fiat currency.  Maybe the only available way is to purchase products online.

If the government declared it illegal then i got no option but to accept it, I know that if i keep on continue using it, i will have difficulty to convert it to fiat, and rather than living in a fear of using bitcoin i better not used it, but for sure i wont support the government at all and i will curse the government
