As we have know dollars, not any other currency, being used in Oil trading is the base of the dollar's hegemony in the world. But now, bitcoin might challenge it.
Recently, Kuwait-based investment banking and asset management firm Kuwait Financial Centre, released a new report (Disruptive Technology: Bitcoins, Currency Reinvented?) , also known as Markaz. Their research results show that : Oil producing countries, particularly in the GCC, could benefit if they would use bitcoin in oil trading, Markaz’ research department argues: http://www.gulf-times.com/eco.-bus.%20news/256/details/398622/kuwait-finance-firm-suggests-trading-oil-in-bitcoins
It is obvious that this report would lead to bitcoin would not rise within at least six months, and in the future, the hero who would ban the bitcoin most ruthlessly, is very likely to be America.
What I want to say is: this is a breaking news, which indicates that the development of bitcoin far beyond anyone's expectation, and even beyond the americans themselves', although they ever most highly anticipated it.
On one hand, if bitcoin could be used in oil trading, all oil producing countries, particularly in the GCC could benefit. At least they could no longer be ransacked by the devaluation of U.S. dollar. It goes without saying that the transaction costs could be reduced, transaction time could be greatly shortened also. But, the oil dollars, is absolutely the most important base of dollars, the foundation of the dollar's hegemony in the world. The USA won't ignor, much less let it go! Therefore, I think the recent decline of bitcoin is likely to have a close relationship with the news. In this sense, baning bitcoin hardest in the futher, probably not China, is likely to be USA.
On the other hand, it is also an ultimate approval to the value of bitcoin. It is not a simple combination of the 0 and 1, but the most important currency in witch we can do large-scale, long-term, stable exchange with the most important resources in the world.
Of course, America would understand the whole situation later or finally, so the price of bitcion will not crash . The key is that the world could not go back to the past. Bitcoin has so much currency value can even be used in oil trading that it can not be destroy by any institution. Even if some political powers can go with other central banks together to kill bitcoin, the world would not go back to yesterday. The world will not return to the past: dollar rule all the land, other currencies just kneeling lick. In fact, many currencies, even including the yen and the euro, are going to get a spin, not to mention the limelight strong RMB.
If they kill the bitcoin, the future would be likely to be RMB's world. With the rapid development of economy China, oil RMB will see within ten years, maybe even in 6-7 years. Therefore, I believe that Americans will understand this situation that the decline of the dollar is almost inevitable, and finally they will have to make a painful choice between RMB rule all the land or bitcoin rule all the land. No doubt the latter is more beneficial to them, because this game they do have plaied as early as 5 years ago, while most of other countries, other agencies are still hesitant until this year.
So, if the final choice is bitcoin rule all the land, it would be pretty unwise to suppress the bitcoin now, because it can only lower the threshold of entering the game, and result in others benefiting. Drive the prices of bitcoin to raise the bar of this game should be more desirable, because everyone will have to play it in the near futher.
At last, to americans, I think they will understand this sooner or later, to other countries, organizations and individuals, I believe they just need to took the last opportunity to collect the chips ASAP, before the Americans wake up finally, and he price will fall first but most always rise.

First of all, we pretty much have NO IDEA what you typed. Since you can't really type in a comprehensive fashion might I recommend you visit one of the foreign language sub forums on here? Second of all, America will never ban bitcoin because they can't, it is a private protocol and we are by law allowed to have private items/organizations/companies/protocols/works/jobs/industries/etc... You don't know what you are talking about and I honestly recommend you do more reading about the U.S. before you come in here with your foreign opinion that makes no sense.

Seems like Russia, India, and China are trying to get around the dollar but it's not by Bitcoin, it's using their own currencies. I agree they're trying to avoid the dollar but it won't be with Bitcoin.
By the way the thread title is not proper English, I had no idea what you were trying to say.

Yeah but as people worldwide wake up to this unjustified aggression for profit, it gets politicially harder and harder for them to keep doing it. Their brainwashing is wearing off, the well-brainwashed baby-boomers are dying. Another 20-30 years and every adult will have been raised on the internet. That's the certain end for them and their political hegemony, if they even last that long.

Since anyone who underestimated the speed of China's development in the past 10 years has to reflect on their own,does america can conquer China in next 10 years? It seems they ever tried in 1950,but failed. In my opinion, America will have to make a painful choice between RMB rule all the land or bitcoin rule all the land finally.

I'm sorry for my poor English and thank you for your frank reply. Maybe the word "ban" is not proper, i just want to say America will limits and constraints the bitcoin from now on, because it has the capacity to replace the oil dollar, which is the core of the dollar's hegemony in the world.
At the same time, since America will have to face the challenge of rapid growth of China and bitcoin,they would have to make a painful choice between RMB rule all the world or bitcoin rule all the world finally, once the oil dollar can't continue.
No doubt the latter is more beneficial to them.

If the US introduces heavy handed legislation that stifles innovation and hampers things like exchanges and other areas which are key for newcomers to bitcoin who don't know how to acquire and secure it themselves, that will certainly spell trouble. Bitcoin will live on but the US will be at a severe economic disadvantage. Hopefully people are taking note of what their local state and federal representatives position on bitcoin is and will vote accordingly. In fact, there should be a concerted effort by bitcoiners state by state as well as on local and federal levels to determine what those views of said representatives are relating to bitcoin and documenting them and creating awareness. Maybe even a database. I don't think at this point this is something that an otherwise competent elected official could/should be on the fence about since it has such tremendous implications. Therefore playing it safe and having no position should be viewed unfavorably. This, to ensure that we are voting for people who will keep us competitive in the global economy instead of taking us further down this path of destruction in order to serve their own self filling needs and those of the big banks who currently have them by the balls. Those who are not for bitcoin can vote for those who are against it, but those who want to see bitcoin grown can have a collective voice. Also, they should know we are ALL watching (and voting...collectively).

The FEC gave us a huge advantage in this. Politicians can accept bit coin which means we can reward or punish politicians based on their bit coin policy positions. Citizens United in an indirect way also made bit coin protected speech.

The United States cannot ban Bitcoin, however, they can regulate it like NYC's proposed bitlicense which will hurt that city's ability to innovate in cryptocurrency.

Thanks for your reply. Maybe the United States do will not ban Bitcoin directly, but it can limit and constraint the bitcoin , even simply drive down the price of bitcoin just like this week.
I do think this broke of bitcoin is related to some special department of the United States. The cause is likely to be the oil bitcoin.

Every one was failed who underestimated China's development in the past 60 years including the USA, every one was failed also who underestimated Bitcoin's development in the past 5 years.
Since America will have to face the challenge of rapid growth of China and bitcoin, I do think they would have to make a painful choice between RMB rule all the world or bitcoin rule all the world finally, once the oil dollar can't continue.
If the latter is more beneficial to them, it would be far away from wise to suppress the bitcoin now.

The ability to accept bitcoin does not affect people being able to hold politicians accountable for their bitcoin (or other) policy stance. If someone wanted to donate money to a politician's campaign they could simply sell their bitcoin for fiat and donate fiat to their campaign.

If Bitcoin is banned, there will be other cleverer 'Bitcoins' filling the vacuum.
If it happens, the America would lost all first mover advantages on bitcoin and would have to start playing another cleverer 'Bitcoins' with all other countries, institutions and individuals at the same time .

Does the America wake up? Dollar has been in decline, they have to make a choice between bitcoin or something else....

In fact, if we ignor the political factor, bitcoin would be advantageous in oil trading in almost all aspects. At the same time, in some other areas in which the political factor is not very important , the situation would be different, bitcion could obtain fast development.
