Bitcoin has no centre to attack. There is no single organisation or person that controls Bitcoin and transactions don't go through a central clearing house there is really no way a regulator can stop people from downloading Bitcoin wallets and sending each other bitcoins. If there we to block all the websites that people can download Bitcoin wallets from, new ones will come up and some people will compile their own wallets from source code - Bitcoin is like Bittorrent is that respect. If they shut down the internet, people will send each other Bitcoin via SMS and if they shut down the electricity supply, people will use solar and battery-powered solutions.

Ok, I admit it was my fault that I did not give credit to the person who was actually behind that quora post, but I think I should get another chance. Not just that, I should have received a warning regarding the same and ban could have been implemented only if I would have denied to delete my post which I will do after my unban. I request you for a second chance and promise not to repeat such mistakes in the future. 🙂
