Whenever something is banned, its price goes UP.

So please, ban to your evil heart's content.
in this case if feds ban BTC (impossible)
prices will go down :p
because there would be no shops around for btc, only few people around interweb will use btc, so ban btc will not make price higher

(my guess)
+1, although they could make it a crime to use BTC, and close all exchanges. BTC wouldnt last very long
