If someone kept using bitcoin despite a ban, will he be considered brave? Or will he be considered suicidal? Especially if the government imposes strict bans that could lead you to being jailed simply for using bitcoin.
it's not about being brave or not, it's about his freedom to choose what’s best for him, and i don’t think there’s anything wrong with that as long as he doesn’t harm anyone. however, even if there are strict rules regarding bitcoin usage, he should also be smart enough to avoid government monitoring by continuing to use vpn and p2p when making transactions. that should be safe for him.
