If you ban Bitcoin, then Bitcoin will become forbidden fruit and people will want it even more in my opinion. This will just give a sign to the world that we are doing the right thing.

Not that I think a ban will ever happen, but who would want a form of money that can't be spent or accepted? Bitcoin isn't drugs. It's not fun or addictive or profitable regardless of legality. It serves a purpose. Banning it stifles that purpose and people will move on. They're not short of alternatives right now.

I don't think Bitcoin will be banned as well, in any country. I was just speaking figuratively, what if...!!! If they would ban Bitcoin, they could have as well banned Internet 20 years ago!

In essence Bitcoin was 'banned' already before it became more well accepted and adopted by others.

Makes more sense for governments to introduce their own alternatives to undermine Bitcoin.

The ultra-advanced, superior technology of the digital currency Bitcoin and it's Blockchain public ledger system are in danger of being co-opted.

Taking a quote from your post, a true bitcoiner will be able to differentiate between a real crypto and something which is not, so I don't think in any way these cryptos (whatever they decide to name it) controlled by a central banks will ever become a threat. If centralization means anything, it has to be the first priority on why we chose to move away from fiat going to cryptocurrencies.

Yes but mainstream people who are not tech savvy can't tell the difference between bitcoin a government issued cryptocurrency.

Thanks for your intervention DeepMix and Ashour.

Can you comment more about what it will be the future of bitcoin if it will be banned from most or the majority of the countries because of introduction (if it will be so) of their national digital coin currency? Naturally if you want or have something to write .

This is the main aim of this thread. It is written even in its title.
