The bankers and other financial intermediaries in Indonesia surely are very happy with the banning of bitcoins and sad for the INDONESIANS who were denied to experience the beauty of decentralized payment. But I think Indonesian government would realize in the future the many benefits that bitcoin provides to the people. This can be a classic case of banks protectionism. Indonesian were not given an option where to transact their money faster and cheaper.
I think the president has been thinking more about the development of this technology, it has been recognized the president of the republic of Indonesia, that the progress of world technology has entered so fast in Indonesia. from a presidential statement I think it's a smooth way for us bitcoiners in Indonesia to be able to make legal bitcoin in Indonesia in the future
