Re: The end of net neutrality means the end of bitcoin in the USA?
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.

They'll ban nothing. They'll just make them much slower. The ones that don't pay for bandwidth will get a very small one.
It's like the BTC transactions: try to send with 5 sat/byte
And for larger sites it will be a logistic nightmare to relocate away from US for fair bandwidth.
A Bitcoin service on an US site not paying for big bandwidth may be hard to reach, slow to load. We'll see uglier and slower websites and the small pools will move to Asia, meaning bigger ping times.
