I stopped using torrents because my internet provider complained.
In Germany and several other European countries who are more socialist-leaning, fines are not unheard of.
We definitely lost the battle for provider level privacy and tracking and the government makes it easy to speed up the process for these giant multinationals.
Not to mention DMCA censoring things left and right (some in good faith, some in bad).
Moreover, if bitcoin were banned I would imagine it would still exist and be used (think any illegal payment people may need to send online), but it won't be considered a good investment asset, loosing most of its value.
Maybe that would be a success for bitcoin, it would be finally used as a coin.
