America runs this shit. It controls bitcoin, it controls gold, it controls the world.
Really? As far as I know Bitcoin is border less. A lot of countries are Bitcoin friendly and the best way to f#@%$k with the politicians minds is to take away their power by taking away the tax money that pays for their salaries.
The USA is not going to ban bitcoin. It's one of the most bitcoin friendly states in the world. As long as companies like Coinbase are growing and paying tax, nobody is going to kill the golden goose.

i am from the UK, but evn i have found that exchanges around the world treat the bitcoin price as tagged to a $ value and then later converted to other national country prices.
there is the 'bitlicence' that any country around the world, if its seen offering a service to a NY resident, its treated as a violation of the NY bitlicence

yes USA cant ban 'bitcoin' but can make it hard for businesses to operate using bitcoin. for instance people can make thier own homemade moonshine alcohol and offer it to people they know behind closed doors, but trying to be a pub/bar in the prohibition period(a legit business) was impossible. its not about stopping 'bitcoin' its about stopping the industry and affecting the ease of accessability that can be done.
and yes as the bitlicence has proved. usa would allow bitcoin to flow, as long as the govrenment can take a cut (MSB licence fee) from all bitcoin businesses.. and ofcourse fines for businesses that refuse to buy a liceince
