I believe its been proven, over and over, that people will do what they want if they really wanted to do it.  For example, there have been copyright laws long before the Internet came into place, and I'd wager most of us have, in the least, downloaded music illegally, or even simply viewed a YouTube video of a song which the uploader had infringed a copyright.  We just don't care what's legal or illegal.  Take a look at murders, for example.  Civilians killing civilians has been illegal for a long time now, yet it happens quite often.  I'd say murder is a much more serious crime than using Bitcoin, and if the law cannot even stop a murder from occurring...well, the rest speaks for itself.

If Bitcoin became illegal, nothing would change, aside from a lot of media exposure, and you know what they say: any publicity is good publicity.

Why should bitcoin become illegal? There is no reason for it to become illegal to begin with? So, no it wont...

Illegal we do immediately, unconstitutional takes longer

If governments could make it illegal, they would have many years ago. It's only the above-ground businesses that they can target at the moment, and they are doing so as we type. The only way I can imagine governments outlawing Bitcoin would be to fundamentally seize control of the internet itself. This seizure has been in the works for over a decade now, so I guess it's not too far beyond the realm of possibility...

also,

lol.

[dancupid]

I'm not sure what they can make illegal.
The word 'bitcoin' is just a made up word, so that won't work.
The rest is just mathematics - I don't know if there is a precedent on illegal mathematics.
