>When countries descend into chaos or go full on authoritarian...

The OP is proposing what is arguably an authoritarian prohibition on an entire class of software.




That only really works for stable countries anyway. While shit is hitting the fan there will be enough incentive not to care about some silly rule as long as breaking it is not easily detectable. In the worst case trading moves from centralized exchanges to decentralized OTC trades. I don't think any government can really stop Bitcoin at this point.


Nah - just banning financial institutions from dealing with it
