funny how many things you miss when you step away from bitcoin for even only a few days
we already took this in and digested it. didn't like how full of bs it was so we spit it back up

So true, lol.

This ban is interesting tho, I hope they don't lift it. The ban creates an interesting test case for what happens when a country attempts to restrict bitcoin, it should tell us allot about its long term viability when larger scale action is inevitably taken should bitcoin truly take off.

We concluded that Thailand did not officially ban bitcoin, but at the advice of a few members of the Bank of Thailand, that it might be illegal since Thailand law didn't cover it. No where did they publicly state that it was indeed illegal.

So there was a huge amount of controversy since the initial guy who spread the "news" created a bunch of FUD that ended up on countless media outlets
