Oh looks like a wrong thread or maybe I just misread the real thoughts of your statement.
i think the most important issue that people are facing and which make people from stopping bitcoin is that they do not have opportunities to use bitcoin in their local area.
I totally agree with that.
Lets say if using bitcoin is not considered illegal in a country and in that country a place or a market is just accepting bitcoin as a payment so the local people would surely have to take interest or use bitcoin for shopping in that market and in that way many people will start using bitcoin.
If that is the case then they just have to found some global exchanger so that they can freely convert their bitcoin in their fiat currency. It's present in most of the countries that bitcoin is banned and even here in this forum there are people here that bitcoin is banned in their country.
I think in almost all countries you can convert your bitcoins to your local currency and if you can do that easily then I don't think that bitcoin is banned in a country.
There are places that bitcoin is banned but still there are options to convert it in their fiat with the use of global exchanger. Bitcoin that will converted will now be fiat once it was send to a preferred method of that user who lives in a country that bitcoin is banned.
If bitcoin gets banned then I think people will start using it more and which will take price even higher, people are addicted to those things which is illegal in their country, same as gambling.
