Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are usually by design not controlled by anyone but the users participating in mining and trading it. Banning that is like banning people from trading in carrots; you can't.
It's very different when there's a company with its own financial interests manning the door, regardless of what company that is.
- rightbyte 7y agoYes you can ban trading in carrots. Especially in Germany where the law is ... enforced. A ban make most things commercially unviable. If botcoin had widespread use a ban would make it an underground payment system.
- gretch 7y agoPhysically ppl ban guns and drugs. Digital services ppl ban child porn and gambling. Sucks you are downvoted because you are right
- ClumsyPilot 7y agoI think his overall point stands: going after facebook is more sensible than chasing individual bitcoiners.
