Now you can't freeze their assets, what tools do we have left?

When Bitcoin gets big enough, plenty of those asshole dictators out there will start using it instead of gold, dollars etc.

Alright, we aren't gonna do anything to undermine the power Bitcoin gives us; so, what tools do we have to try to force those evildoers to behave, and in which order do you suggest we use them?

[myrkul]

Economic restrictions work just as well with Bitcoin as with any currency, Just don't sell to the nasty Dictator.

[TiagoTiago]

And how do you stop others from doing that? How do you monitor companies, countries etc?

[myrkul]

You tell them 'Don't, this is a bad man'

It's up to them to do or not.

Welcome to the Free market.

[TiagoTiago]

So it's busyness as usual except the first weapon is not as strong?

[myrkul]

Well, that, and the only way they can get Bitcoins is voluntary transactions, so...

Self-enforcing system.

You can't freeze their assets, but you can place an embargo and other sanctions against them.
