Millions of citizens from countries that have abusive governments would disagree with this. Its digital gold. In Yugoslavia where I am from originally, gold was banned, and that was the case too in Romania during dictatorship times. People were smuggling gold to preserve their means of survival, and being seen carrying gold would result in one being killed by a firing squad or jailed. BTC doesn’t have that problem
- zucker42 6y agoCan't they just ban you from making connections to known Bitcoin nodes at the network level, or use a Honeypot to detect when you access Bitcoin specific services?
- kikimora 6y agoNo they cannot because it is a decentralized system. Whenever they try people would quickly post tin of material how to access bitcoin over TOR/VPN. And since it is money people do care to learn these things to be able to transact freely.
