I thank these governments for taking a stance against Bitcoin. Let's hope more authoritarian states will follow. This clearly proves that Bitcoin classifies as a medium of personal freedom and is a sign of democracy.
Also democratic governments can't go to hard on Bitcoin now without loosing (democratic) credibility.
Or it least I hope people will see it like this (who are not already into Bitcoin). But I think the argument, things only authoritarian states ban are good for democracy, is convincing.
