You block on/off ramps and lose a lot of important information on these transactions, the people involved and tax revenue, seems like a losing proposition, but definitely doable. You can't stop people from running a software on their computer short of shutting down the whole internet, even then, there are satellites with the blockchain data now, so it'd be really hard.
- iudqnolq 6y agoSatellites are the easiest thing to ban. Sure, the govt has the tech to jam/shoot them down, but they're also almost certainly associated with a real person with a real bank account and a real door they can knock on/down depending on their cooperation.
- rawtxapp 6y agoSure, I guess my point is there will always be some kind of functional messaging in place. If people can communicate any message, they will be able to communicate the blockchain data. Satellites, p2p networks, ham radio, but again, I don't think we'll ever see a global internet shutdown just to shutdown BTC.
- iudqnolq 6y agoI disagree. Take the war on drugs. They can't get rid of them, but they can make everybody sad. And that's the real world, which is harder to intercept.
