The United States Federal Communications Commission voted Thursday to repeal rules designed to protect net neutrality.

Priyabrata Dash, editor of Crypt Bytes Tech, wrote earlier this year that the biggest threat to cryptocurrency markets is the repeal of net neutrality.

How important is the U.S. for bitcoin? Will the U.S. devs working on bitcoin need to move or stop working on bitcoin?

If the net neutrality is over and the US internet service providers starts to ban/block cryptocurrency exchange platforms and online wallets,then other countries might follow the USA.
I was wondering about any way to create a decentralized cryptocurrency friendly internet provider business model.Some forum member was talking about such project in the Project development board.

I am not sure why would they do that? Why ban legitimate sites? Wouldn't it be cannibalizing their market share? People who cannot use the services they are interested in would surely change the provider and that would be the end of it.

So I am really not seeing it as a threat right now.
