Re: We should be happy tyranny is allergic to bitcoin, not sad.
Yeah , it doesn't matter if you're shot or stabbed.
But then again , one is more painful than the other

.Neither is inherently more harmful or painful. It depends on the specific application (where the bullet/knife enters, size of bullet/knife, force used, etc)
2. They try to regulate encryption technologies using licensing requirements etc, has that been successful? They try to regulate drugs, do you think that has been successful? They try to regulate torrenting, how has that been going? Do you have an argument to explain how bitcoin, or more specifically cryptocurrency in general will be different? I don't think shutting down all the exchanges will end bitcoin, local bitcoins and other similar methods will still exist. Although the liklihood of that happening is incredibly small at this point anyway.
Unlike bitcoin, those are all purely digital things. You don't go to the store to exchange milk for a pirated DVD.
That being said, bitcoin CAN be used in purely digital format. Buying anything digital online.

3.You need a better argument than using just Bitcoin. You're acting like it's the only cryptocurrency that has a future.Crypto anarchy can exist alongside governments. Of course there will still be coercive governments that exist and enforce corrupt laws. People will have to decide which system resonates with them. Sadly the truth is many people today will choose perceived safety and security and follow their elected leaders.
who is you?
