If bitcoin really will be banned, I think no one will make a online shop with the bitcoin as the currency, or make other bitcoin website in the country, so the bitcoin will be so hard to developed.
Banning it will not stop anything actually, it will just force
BTC to step into underground pace. The same thing with drugs and stuff, it is illegal in most countries but that dont stop people from using or distributing it. Although this would means that
BTC will be acknowledge at something similar of "criminal related stuff" or so
If the government may cooperate with bitcoin, they will help to introduce what bitcoin is to society and put high tax on it
This will be a breeze of air and the best possible case ever but some
BTC user despise goverment and also tax. Last I heard Elwar ditched all his credit cards and going to live without paying any tax
P.S : I lost track on this news, perhaps you could use search function for it
that's why there were so many news told us several crime cases that related to bitcoin.
To be honest that a fault from the
BTC user. Media play a role in reporting a case which unfortunately the case is about someone using
BTC to purchase some illegal things i.e silkroad. Its not the media that ruin
BTC but it is the
BTC user that ruin it, most people will now see
BTC as a criminal related stuff due to all this negative publicity
