Any chance for USA to ban bitcoin?

[24core]

I don't think there is a way to ban Bitcoin anymore.  It has grown too strong and there is no way to stop it.  There will always be a way to trade for bitcoins.

Every country are starting to ban. What if USA ban? how will it go?

Hmmm. But for what reason? I can't see any reason for US to ban Bitcoin. US has a lot of bitcoin user and banning it will be a problem. It can even cause for their Citizens(Bitcoin Users) to Debate against their Government. Bitcoin's community in US is doing fine and there is no Good Reason for their Government to ban bitcoin.

But there is a possibility for them to ban bitcoin. Like how if they are forced to ban bitcoin due to illegal transactions and activities. I'm sure no one can stop their Government. But they must decide wisely or else its a big trouble.

I believe that USA would not ban cryptocurrency in their area because japan and usa are competing in terms of technology and japan is using bitcoins to improve their economy so usa will do it as well to keep up.

if hold bitcoin is illlegal, then yes, they can ban bitcoin. otherwise there is no any change to ban bitcoin.

No way. Too many billionaires in the USA are invested in bitcoin. Even if this did occur, it would reflect poorly on the government and cause it to lose credibility. Banning bitcoin shows unwillingness to allow innovation. This simply will not happen, and if it did, no one would respect the law.

i don't think that usa will ban bitcoin , because he start in solving his problems and other cryptocurrecies has very good project
and they will affecte different industries , starting by finance and commerce and e-commerce and advertising ....

No way it USA can ban btcs because a majority of USA people is using btcs. How can govt compensate their loss?

[allycn]

I don't think they will outright ban it, but they will continue to impose more regulations in order to prevent illegal trading and users from not paying "investment" taxes (or whatever tax category bitcoin and altcoins would fall under). Also, considering bitcoin has been around for almost 10 years, if they really wanted to ban it they would have done it already.

Most of the investors of bitcoin came from USA which they could even make the most of their time to be more productive, since it's another option for them to earn money. Another thing is it's baseless opinion, so low possibility to happen that it will banned.

It wil be pretty bad if USA ban bitcoin cause US is number 1 country in the world and it also among the higher bitcoin hodler. But, I don't see such thing happen though cause bitcoin was already legalize in some state there.

In their previous meeting through media they mentioned already there is no reason to ban the Bitcoin, blockchain is popular because of Bitcoin. Today we are using the technology behind the Bitcoin but there is no for it to ban, maybe US government will take some more time to get legalize the Bitcoin.

The United States has no reason to ban bitcoin. Bitcoin will drive a new economy. And even if it is hard for the United States to completely ban Bitcoin, blockchain technology also makes us realize the importance of cryptocurrencies.

I agree with you, because in my opinion it has been so long btc has helped advance the economy in US and if US tries to ban btc I think their economy will be a bit down

[sfr2017]

I don't think that USA can ban bitcoin in this moment because it's developped in all world and any negative action from USA will has a destructive causes not only in cryptocurency but in all others markets.

In the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission and some state governments have made moves to regulate the trading of cryptocurrencies. Former SEC Chairman Harvey Pitt told CNBC last month that the commission was likely to make major regulatory changes to cryptocurrencies in 2018. 

Although U.S. authorities arrested Jon E. Montroll, founder of BitFunder, a closed cryptocurrency exchange, accused him and his company of fraud. But this does not prevent people from buying bitcoins.

And this also doesn’t mean that bitcoins will be banned in US. We here, it is our duty to talk positive about bitcoins. We don’t have to create FUDs about them and if someone else spread them, we must endure those FUDs to death. We have some responsibility being the users of bitcoins. Like this one, this is just rubbish to say bitcoins are going to be banned only for the reason that this man is accused.

I heard a word of speculation about my friend who teach me bitcoin, that bitcoin is created either america or japan, or the two countries are the main creator of bitcoin. So if is really true, there's no need to worry about america banned bitcoin.

Yes, bitcoin has already been used in some of the states for the different services, and a lot of people from different circles and social backgrounds have invested in the bitcoin and using it on different purposes since 2009. It is, therefore, not possible in the near future that the bitcoin will be banned in United States. If the government will ever think of banning this crypto currency, it will do it in some systematic way and not all of a sudden.

Right. Regulations doesn't mean a ban will take place. In fact, i think these regulations would even be better for bitcoin in the long run. Of course security issues will be raised and the government would have to find ways to protect the people from the negative aspects of crypto.

I don't see any country banning bitcoin. I don't think the U.S. will ban bitcoin, and the U.S. has recognized the legitimacy of bitcoin. I don't think these countries are banning bitcoin but illegal ico, they're worthless, they're completely fraudulent.

[chuongvannguyen02]

Americans still find the importance of Bitcoin to their country, so they do not prohibit it. You may not know that illegal US transaction are the reason why it is not forbidden. Bitcoin is still beneficial to the United States, and it still exists and is considered legal.
