If they want to curb the use of bitcoin in illegal activities,they should have regulate the bitcoin instead of banning it outrightly.Even fiat can be and is used in illegal activities,will they ban fiat too?

No, moms buy milk for their babies with fiat. Dads gas up their cars with fiat. Babushkas buy whatever it is babushkas buy with fiat. Bitcoins? If bitcoins disappear, it would be harder to score krokodil and pay off ransomware extortionists, otherwise zero impact.
Still confused?

LMAO, you had to bring krokodil into this. But you are right. Very few people in the world really use bitcoin because they aren't really so useful for making everyday transactions. I lived off of bitcoin for a few years (which means living off of Gyft for a few years), it sucks ass and you have no fuel. Bitcoin truly is internet money, albeit useful.

Also, the confirmation time issue would be spooky bad if ppl actually used bitcoin.

... but you dont see governments fighting them .. ask urself why.

Could it be because they don't brag about bringing fiat and governments to their knees on the interweb, like a bunch of embarrassingly edgy teenagers with daddy issues?
Dunno.

Yeah, that's fairly accurate, I'm not sure why so many people on this forum think they're bringing the government to their knees, and that they're part of some great movement. I'll admit I'm not completely innocent of that, but I definitely haven't been as fanatical about it as some of the people here.

They are not aware of the abuses a government can pour on a person's head. It's like a business, wiith guns. AKA a gang. I tend not to fuck with gangs, lest I come up missing.
