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.
Depending on the punishment but I don't think it will be heavy. So for someone who's in that country where in Bitcoin is banned, we have no choice but try to move to another country if we ever want to cash out. Because it's no use if there are no local exchanges or even some international exchanges are there, it's easier for them to integrate with these exchanges for tracking citizens that are using or trading Bitcoin. So, going to another country just to sell it there would be fine and just wire transfer the profit that you'll get from there.
