So Ecuador decided to ban Bitcoin:
http://www.coindesk.com/ecuador-bans-bitcoin-legislative-vote/Banning bitcoin in a country only serves to stop legal businesses taking advantage of what it has to offer. Any and all illegal activity isn't affected due to how bitcoin is decentralised and pseudo anonymous.
Do you want a black bitcoin market? Because that's how you get a black bitcoin market.
Good news is thousands of Ecuadorians just learned about bitcoin.
Very interesting but sad news, really.
In fact, Ecuador and other small countries could really benefit from Bitcoin and become more financial independent from other, financial stronger countries like USA.
But, as said earlier, any advertising or news, either good or bad, still can help because many more people will hear about this and become interesting, start researching etc.
Also, I don't think that this government can really control what their citizens work or do on Internet.
