Did you read what theymos wrote? "If Bitcoin is banned in the United States, I'm closing down the forum,"
That's a very big "if"!Quote
I quote, "no danm shit about other countries and Bitcoin." His dear country is what matters to him. 
If the US bans Bitcoin, you can't really blame theymos for not wanting to be an outlaw. Whether we like it or not, we still have to follow the laws of the country we live in.I couldn't believe he said either one of those things, and indeed he didn't; the exact quote was:
Maybe Bitcoin will be banned in the US someday, and then I'll have to either shut down bitcointalk.org or find a way of moving it to some remaining territory of freedom in the world.
Given the mass accumulation of Bitcoin by Wall Street and the impending Bitcoin ETF, I don't think this would ever happen. Those behemoth funds like BlackRock will make sure that it doesn't happen -- they are too invested in Bitcoin's success. If any "ban bitcoin" legislation ever arises, they will deploy the appropriate lobbying tactics to make sure it never passes. What we will see is the move toward regulated services, which we can see already taking place.
