Indonesian Central Bank is only bluffing. They dislike Indonesian people holding currencies other than rupiah. They don't want us Indonesian people benefiting or being rich from bitcoin. We Indonesians will not subdue to these centralized & corrupt scumbags. I still hold my bitcoins and my other alts. I couldn't wait what they are going to do next week.

Most govenments are missing it. Trump knows he cant stop it...hes just like we are watching the bitcoin. Cause knows the reality. But i this some gvt just say things they have no idea of

Another suppressive country who's inhabitants specially need Bitcoin to free themselves from the tirany of their corrupt, control freak, selfish, extortionating leaders, who keep 98% of the population poor by enriching themselves shamelessly.

and this sort of oppression is something that the idea of bitcoin goes against, resists even. the decentralization of bitcoin puts its strength in the numbers of its users, and prevents one single entity from taking control of the network without an unreasonable amount of effort and investment. ideally, i'd like to see bitcoin win over this sort of oppression, but it only goes as far as the people and users are willing to. that being said, im not too familiar with the indonesian government and how it operates, and this ban might not be the result of oppression, but bitcoin is fully capable of weathering through much more than this.
