These days, a lot of countries are actually being more accepting of bitcoin than they ever were before. I feel that it’s more likely for a country to accept bitcoin now than to ban them. But hypothetically your country bans bitcoin, will you still use bitcoin?
I asked this question to myself then realized that using bitcoin even without the approval of the government is exactly what bitcoin is for. I will only be realizing bitcoin’s full potential, am I not? This is what bitcoin’s true purpose is. Should you be scared to use bitcoin to its fullest extent?
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.
I used Bitcoin for many years in my country after they ban it, I don't just give a damn about the government, when it comes to banning crypto it means you can't transact with any centralised companies on the country and this should be easy because which companies are accepting crypto in my country? None.
You can only have problem if you leave tracks behind like trying to exchange your Bitcoin to Fiat and you go ahead to use a centralised exchange where you have to drop your national identity card or drivers license, this is why some people prefer mixers and privacy ways of hiding transactions.
I don't see anything wrong with this as this is the only time I use privacy coins like XMR, but I was fine all along, just don't leave your tracks behind or your government can get you.
