I think it is used by some people there, government can't ban Bitcoin as long as there is Internet connection accessibility.

HA.

Man, they like, gave a dude brain damage because he tried to steal a banner. Yes, a banner. What I would absolutely not be willing to do is piss off an totalitarian government like NK; given the amount of government monitoring of internet traffic, and the amount of censorship; I dont think its really worth it to play with something like this in this particular country. I even have trouble, as I type this, finding the legal status of bitcoin in NK ( i thought it was illegal, but I cant confirm that as I actually look).

Even if bitcoin is totally legal, given the legal climate, is it smart to have undeclared financial value in a regime like this? Seems like a way to get mad prison time, IMO, even if you have good intentions Wink

The kid died after arriving in the US. And who knows if he tried to steal anything - the video was very grainy and it was impossible to tell who it was. And why would such a smart person try to steal a banner in a known totalitarian country?

How would anyone buy bitcoin when they don't have access to the Internet and most of the country is starving?? What is the point of the question? Since they can't use internet, no one from north korea can even read your post, much less respond to it.
