With what he did, he basically enforced a policy on behalf of everyone who uses Bitcoin. I don't buy for one second that this has anything to do with personal risk because he will of course say it's a bad idea to support Iran and there will be no quote to use against him. The ban was unnecessary. Banning will only make it worse, as you all have now seen.
