Who cares what governments say about bitcoin? If they try to ban it, it will only get stronger since people will see how effective it is in its role. It will show the government-bankster mafia is scared because they can't do shit nothing but scare people away from it with bans. Too bad bitcoin is a network that is hosted all over the world so banning it will have no effect. People will still be able to have p2p direct transactions. You can meet with someone and exchange BTC for whatever you want and even use a cheap ass SMS phone if you dont have a smartphone.
