I read a few minutes ago that In China, there is BTC BAN for all Chinese Vendors comming soon. Dont know how reliable the story is, look into.
But if so, bye bye BTC.
Really? I thought the China government were also buying. Also, there is this one badass miner in China who mines like 50 BTC a day lol... I heard that they also banned them in Thailand.

That turned out to be false, although it was still reported as true by many news outlets.

Some people expect Russia to start banning Bitcoins after the last Internet censorship laws being passed.

banning is highly unlikely by most governments, but i wouldn't be surprised if there were 1 or 2 countries that did it.
there's one thing you can be certain about though: government wants its cut, and it will make sure that you pay it.

I agree in order for it to become mainstream it will need government help... Then a transaction fee will go straight the the Government. At the moment it is still too small to make them tax it, but as soon as it breaches a certain threshold, which I am sure has been laid out by someone they will get involved

Thailand banning bitcoins maybe, Bank of Thailand is liaising with Thailand’s Ministry of Information and Communication Technology, Ministry of Finance, and Securities and Exchange Commission Thailand before making a final decision.

In China, bitcoin is a digital commodity, not a legal currency, so it apparently cannot be used as input by vendors legally (otherwise a lot of accounting and taxing issues). It's not allowed in the first place, not banning. People can, however, buy and sell BTC as they wish on the exchanges without any problem. This was confirmed by the government officer in public. I believe Bitpay like services will emerge in China soon. That is people pay with bitcoin, but the vendors get the fiat.
Don't worry about the demand of Chinese people will decrease because of this. Most of Chinese people buy bitcoin for investment or speculation, and I think only a tiny part of them may consider using BTC as real currency. As long as there're no other reliable investment options in China (the stock market there stays at the bottom for many years), the BTC price will increase just as the property price there.

Banning and enforcing the ban are two different things, in my opinion enforcement is impossible, enforcement is ineffective in most cases for contraband goods. The few that will be caught using bitcoins will be given pointless prison sentences and it will be all business as usual.
