If Bitcoin was made illegal by your government would you still use it?

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?

i would definitely still use it, i would just buy a vpn and thats it, i think it should never become illegal though

[qiwoman2]

I would actually move country if that happened if I owned a lot of bitcoin and would seek refuge in a pro Bitcoin country. I don't think I could live in a backward country that would ban bitcoin as it is too ingrained now in my DNA lol.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Yes I absolutely would continue to use bitcoin if my country banned it. I HODL, what would I be supposed to do, give up my coins?

Fuck the government.

[OmegaStarScream]

I would continue to use it as I see no harm on it , I can understand why having a gun or taking drugs is illegal but having a currency isn't harmful a all . Just because they made a law about it , doesn't mean they are right. Making it illegal won't change anything for me , I can deposit them into my Neteller account and trade them for my local currency as usual and no one will know about it.

I think I will still use it but of course will be limited by how my activities can be tracked. Perhaps using a portable device at places with free and register-free internet? However, most likely my government is not advance enough to block all bitcoin-related sites.

[amacar2]

I know for sure no any government can banned bitcoin or declare using bitcoin illegal as they can't track whether we are using bitcoin or not. However if they do somehow i will try to gather few like minded guys and start promoting the benifits of using bitcoin and try to convince government to change their decision.

if my country's government bands bitcoin i will use it then also no matter whatever the punishment is i will trh to hide from them or i think i should make a alternate money system which i can use in public and then i will use those to exchange with bitcoin

[crairezx20]

I think bitcoin is not illegal but if it will happen i will stay use it there is no harmful about bitcoin and we can still use it since its online and we can use it anonymously without asking for our real identity..

I always exchange the bitcoins into fiats as it is not yet allowed in my country. BTC is yet to be made aware of. If it is advertised, then so many unemployed would be employed. The experts can come forward to convince the government by explaining the core benefits of it. If BTC gets in, the economy would be wealthy. A next new generation can be seen now. Wish to happen so.

[Kprawn]

You cannot use it openly, like being a merchant and sticking a Bitcoin symbol in the window, but you can still accept it as a payment

option, and hoard it. Then you take it and go on a Bitcoin holiday in a country where it is accepted. Just imagine all the possibilities.

The forbidden fruit always taste the sweetest, or so they say. 

[DeathAngel]

I can't imagine the punishment would be all that terrible in my country, I wouldn't be getting hung or crucified for it so sure I'd take the risk & continue to use bitcoin

[akatsuki]

I would still use it because I would use it for good as with fiat it is the same for everyone: You are what you do with your money, not what your money does for you.

Now if my government had control over bitcoin. Well that is a whole different story.

[Meuh6879]

gov. is corrupt.
bitcoins are legit.

my official bank "too big to fail/jail" close automaticly account when you transfer more than 1/3 of your salary to an identified SEPA linked to an Bitcoin Exchange.

[Rude Boy]

I don't know whether, I'll support or not. If bitcoin was banned in my country. But i'm sure its better to use bitcoin than fiat currency. And i'll use even, if the punishment was not much bad!

[bitbunnny]

To be honest I don't know the answer. If Bitcoin was declared illegal and punishable by the law I would probably be very careful and I would not telling everyone that I use it. I wouldn't change it for fiat through my bank account so that I don't leave traces. But  I hope this will never happen.

[xdrpx]

I am not sure, this would depend on how illegal and what are the penalties imposed for transacting in bitcoins illegally (if it were made illegal). I honestly don't know how they would be able to track if the transaction was spent by me if I had not given any KYC details or any personal details attached to the address that I'm transacting in. I would always go by the law though, but since it's not illegal yet I find Bitcoins very nice to use.

[springgers]

Nice pool results at the moment!
That show the mind of you all Bitcoin users!

Don't let a government rules you!

i would still use bitcoin even the government has made bitcoin illegal but they will not can track my activity with bitcoin and of course i will support bitcoin forever and ever.

[Altcoinsupporter]

Illegal means you can be punished or even go to jail. Especially that part is not appealing to me since it would mean you face jail time for something that silly.
So no if it was illegal i would make sure to stop using it...
