Also, who says it's banned? All I know is that they've forbidden mining.

They say:

It's about time we get over it, China banned first ICOs, then exchanges, then mining, then financial transactions, then domestic use, there is nothing left that can be banned anymore.

Again this is about countries, not about individuals, that's a whole other thing, individuals for example can move, but I'm yet to see a single forum member moving to Salvador to take advantage of taxes or freedom or opportunities.

Perhaps because there are hundreds of other reasons one won't leave their country?

Exactly my point, people will always think of balances, and you can see pretty well all around you that those willing to make sacrifices for ideals can be counted pretty easily using one hand. Yeah, privacy is nice, yeah it's nice to have freedom, but wait till you reach the stomach area. Wink

Why is 90% of this world going to a shithole if not because of people thinking short-term and about their won issues first?

I wouldn't say all those who use Bitcoin are libertarians with emphasized ideals etc. Most are probably conservatists who just want to make a few bucks and pretend to support this libertarian movement. However, the hypocrisy, if you want, of the latter does favor the former.

Of course not, if everyone would be a real libertarian we wouldn't be in this mess right now, we wouldn't have a ton of centralized exchanges, we wouldn't have all these hype projects with no meaning but at the same time we wouldn't have any talks about regulations at all or any desire to do so. And I doubt even the conservatism move has more followers, if I would have to nominate the biggest party around now it would be "My wallet to Moon" faction.
