On April 20, a government panel is meeting to decide whether BitCoins are illegal.

If they decide that BitCoins are illegal then centralized BitCoin exchanges will have to shut shop.

There are the few ideas how can these exchanges re-emerge:

1 . Convert from centralized exchange to a decentralized platform like Localbitcoin and Paxful.

2. Opening a page in dark web and offering the same service. Users can access it using Tor browser.

3. Collaborating to create a torrent like technology as a response to Napster closing down. We can use BitCointalk to design and collaborate to create a platform to achieve the same.

Remember, governments can only attack centralized systems. BitCoins are a transformative tool that can potentially eliminate poverty. We have to protect it from temporary ignorance of few regulators and politicians.

Good question and I would like to hear these exchanges official stand on this.
Although I am hoping nothing such thing happen but we can not completely rule out the possibility.
We can move our coins to cold wallet or some offshore online wallet as a last resort.
