what would happen if they limited the internet, banning or limiting access to crypto related sites.
no transactions would be possible anymore ... what do you think ?
would governments take these steps ?
-
maybe what we feel if the internet network is banned crypto sites maybe quite sad but we can find other solutions but so far the network providers still provide the best service and can still access various crypto sites.
-
In theory, they can do this. But I think that this will not happen, because some countries, on the contrary, FOR crypto, and not against it.
-
Social media platform might limit the promotion related to crypto to avoid the rampant scam projects. Generally, Internet will not do that to control cryptocurrency sites.
Every crypto can have their own domain to Internet.
This is not covered by the law of government to take down cryptos. Maybe in some part where the country is under the rule of communist party the cryptos are prohibited.
-
I'm not sure the government will do it. Less possibility they will do it because they also see that blockchain is the future. Shutdown website related to crypto is a bad way for the development of a country.

A government can ban and limit the use and profileration of cryptocureency without lifting a finer on the internet service or infrastructure. Remember that the internet is servicing business and homes and I don't think people will be happy if you gonna disturb its equilibrium just because you happen to not like cryptocurrency. China has not officially recognized Bitcoin and is not really allowing its massive use, yet people can still use the internet. Censorship can be done on cryptocurrency without censorship on the Internet, though some governments may do it had it been that easy to do.

This really calls for concern I have seen a country where the government banned everyone from using the internet, just to make sure they don't campaign against him on social media's, similar case might happen in crypto currency but I believe we will still find a way to use the internet, maybe by using a VPN service like TOR to cover our ass, so that the government will not be able to trace our location or stop us from accessing crypto sites.
-
I don't think the government will make such a decision. We humans need to develop. Blockchain and cryptocurrency are definitely an improvement. Paper money and gold will definitely be eliminated by society. There will be new currencies to replace them. It may be Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, but in the future it belongs to cryptocurrencies.
-
In Russia, Roskomnadzor partially blocked the btt cryptocurrency forum, but nothing bad happened, everyone continues to work. As long as there is a VPN, the blocking problem can be easily solved.
-
In addition to VPNs, there are many other tools to work around the limitations imposed by governments and ISPs. They cannot block what they want 100%, they can make access difficult, but not close them, it is impossible. To remove 100% access to any service, they must remove, for example, a URL or disconnect it, although there are also other ways. The Chinese are experts at skipping this kind of thing.
@TomPluz congratulations on your new rank ;)
-
Why would the government do this? It will not be possible to completely prohibit this, which means it would be more correct to lead all this. Therefore, regulation of cryptography will be the most optimal solution.
-
I think limiting access to crypto through the internet may not be realistic at all. Like some members has suggested. I think the worst case scenero is cryptocurrecy regulations which may not be possible in many countries. There are many countries that has adopted cryptocurrecy, and an attempt to regulate crypto may also suffer some form of setbacks.
-

So in your own observation, how do you think it will happen! how is limiting internet will affect limiting access to crypto or banning it? except in a country where the government have so much free time to monitor the data source of the internet provider of that country, and they can also monitor and be able to identify the sites each of their subscribers visit, which will be a huge work load on the isp,
maybe a very strict country like NK will attempt such thing, but i hope the government of my country don't engage in time wasting adventure like this just to ban or limit crypto.
-
nothing will be able to limit it all. if that happens, there are many smart people in this world. they will definitely use a VPN to stay in the crypto.
absolutely impossible. because cryptocurrency is currently a future trend and many countries or applications that have emerged are operating using crypto.
there may be some countries restricted from entering crypto sites, but they will not lose their minds. they will try to use the VPN to keep entering the crypto world
-
Internet restriction is also a way to limit the crypto wave, but this brings more damage to the economy. It is almost impossible for governments to do this to attack crypto because if they do so, all activities of the country will be affected, and those who cannot access the internet will protest and make society unstable.
-
One way to attack Bitcoin would be to have large amounts of money alternately pushed into Bitcoin and pulled out, thereby massively increasing volatility. These market fluctuations could be aggravated by a covert government programme. This would make doing business in Bitcoin more difficult.
-
Why would the government do this? It will not be possible to completely prohibit this, which means it would be more correct to lead all this. Therefore, regulation of cryptography will be the most optimal solution.
Over time, states and their governments will gradually tighten the regulation of cryptocurrency. There is no doubt about that. Individual states may even partially restrict or even prohibit the circulation of cryptocurrencies. However, how can such a restriction or prohibition be controlled? Let's see what officials can come up with. Disconnecting the Internet will already lead to the failure of government agencies. The states are unlikely to agree to this. Our life is becoming more and more dependent on this world wide web.
-
I think this will be difficult to do, but if you try it is possible. But it seems unlikely that they will do this, because the cryptocurrency is gaining popularity among the government itself.
-
Well, this is already on the verge of fantasy, it is impossible to limit the Internet and even individual sites, there will always be people who will indicate the way to bypass any blocking, so it seems to me that there is no need to be afraid of this here.
-
They will not limit the usage of internet as long as the world is free. Anyway, every country has a different system using internet. Some use the direct access and some people in the country are just using what we so called data access. Data users knows the internet is limited base on their subscription.
-
Limiting the Internet I think thats not possible because the internet is the most used infrastructure now especially in trade, commerce, and communication, and all other aspects of our society thats why they can't do that because it's too complicated to implement it needs more specialties a bunch of technological intervention before they can do that. the only thing that government can do is to ban the specific website but even banning still not effective because anybody can use a VPN to hide its information and origins.
-

I think the government would not take down the internet nor limit it; Because the world is bbuilt around the internet especially the 21st century, taking away the internet would take away everything totally and send the world to stone age. WITH this in mind, with joy i inform you that crypto currency will remain and continue to make great strides; join early and be a big winner

I believe that in developed and democratic countries this will not happen, since such actions of the government, which will restrict the Internet, violate the rights and freedoms of people. But I am sure that such a Government will sweep away the people in an instant.
-
I dont think that ot will ever happen because almost all countries are starting to remove ban from crypto some are also planning to use it as their national currency so i think they will not do so.
-
Who has the big powers to limit the internet? You know, limiting interment will only give big impacts to all countries, companies, and also bad chance to do it. Moreover, it is about the ways how we always need everything to avoid holding shitcoin for a longer time. NAd internet will always be yoself
-
It is impossible because once you take down the internet, the whole thing will be influenced. It s not only an online business but also an offline business . this is the era of technology and everyone can reach it. So, better to only use hardware wallet
-
Everything has limitations and we don't need to worry when a website is blocked for security reasons and other things, we can still access it through the VPN application, Opera Browser and Proxy.
However, there are many things that need to be considered when we use a VPN, because free VPN applications are vulnerable to hacker attacks.
I don't think the Government can completely limit the crypto space over the internet as there are many users in different parts of the world who need unlimited internet access.
-
Not possible to do this although every government of a country has the power to do that. Some people are not working in the physical word because their living is in digital currency if the government would take down it by limiting the internet access would lead to another hype of unemployed citizens.
-
It's really funny how government would stop at nothing until the it ban bitcoin/crypto, sine the government of any country can stop the citizens from making using other internet, I have seen it several cases where the government take down the web, no doubt they can do it again, they literally hate crypto due to the decentralization, but it looks like they won't limit the internet just yet although it might happen in the future, even if it happens we could use paid VPN service to access crypto sites.
-
One day, if the government really feels annoyed with crypto, maybe it could happen. Because there is basic crypto on the internet. When the internet takes down, crypto will automatically go out.
-
In my opinion, this situation will not be taken by the government because the project is so large and the results are fairly large and will also grow one's economy to support someone to progress and be successful, maybe the government will not limit
-
Limiting the internet is not a good countermeasure against cryptocurrencies, because:
+ If the government slows down or disconnects the internet, all activities of the country will be affected. Blockchain will continue to operate as soon as there is internet available;
+ If the government blocks websites, crypto forums, exchanges ..., the crypto community can still access with fake VPN software;
+ The effort to limit the internet requires a great effort but not great effect, affecting the image of governments, they will become dictators in the eyes of the people;
So governments are not trying to restrict crypto, they seek to develop CBDCs to make it an alternative to crypto.
-
For what?
If you are thinking that the internet is the only big matter for crypto, it is absolutely wrong.
Limiting the internet means that you limit the era development of technology. There are many industries that use the internet, not only crypto. SO, the government will not take this decsioon
-
What do you think would make the government do that? I mean what is it with them and crypto that will make them go to this kind lf length? Even if some government do a thing like that, it can only be within their territory which people will still find their ways around. Crypto has come to stay, the world is only going to embrace the technology the more...
-
Yes, the limit of the internet will make the difficulties in crypto. but I don't think it will destroy the crypto world. We will have always crypto but it will be harder to improve it without the internet. So, the internet is a big part of the crypto industry, mate.
-

This is not possible because even the government is making simple profit from digital money aside from that this type of earnings are very helpful to every country where crypto are allowed. So how come the government will do that.
-
I think that the government can deny access to sites related to cryptocurrency. But as far as technically possible, there are different ways to easily get around this prohibition.
-
In my opinion, it is unlikely that the government will make and make such a decision. Because cryptos and blockchain are good developments for a country.
-
That will not be possible, because the internet has become a necessity of life in modern times like today. Not only for Crypto, but the Internet has been used for almost all purposes today. That's the reason why it's impossible for this Cryptocurrency to die, the reason is because the internet won't die either.

This will depend on the direction in which the cryptocurrency will develop in the future, as well as on many other factors. It is possible that states will look for ways to limit or even ban cryptocurrency. This is especially true for states where the rights of citizens are regularly violated. For example, in the Russian Federation it is now quite possible. It even discusses the issue of criminalizing the use of cryptocurrency. Most likely, the operation of cryptocurrency exchanges and exchangers will be prohibited, separate sites that are related to cryptocurrency. Further actions will be taken depending on the effectiveness of the initial ones. As soon as the political situation changes, so will the cryptocurrency regulations.
-
This is possible, but it is very difficult and costly for many countries, it is easier to tax and get good taxes from income from cryptocurrency, but I am not surprised at anything, they can also turn off the Internet , but I think our people will find ways and loopholes. ::)
-
You know, it is so funny to think about this.
How can they limit the internet? Limiting the internet will only make countries left behind. DO you know how many industries and activities using the internet? And how can a country limit the internet to only shut down crypto? If they want, just make a strict rule,
using crypto = go to jail
-
Well, restricting people's access to some sites, cryptocurrency exchanges and exchangers, even to cryptocurrency forums and everything connected with it, it is quite possible if states unite and decide for some reason to close people's access to cryptocurrency. This will make it very difficult to use cryptocurrency and actually put it on the brink of survival. Let's hope this doesn't happen. It may well coexist with other currencies of states and they can complement each other's capabilities.
-
Today the internet is necessary to internet subscribers around the globe. It is the main connection to connect each user from far away. In addition internet is the access tool to do business and pay bills at this epidemic moment. Therefore the government will not limit the use of internet.
-
Internet is one of the most important thing when it comes to cryptocurrency, the only way they can take down cryptocurrency is by taking down internet and ristricting access to certain cryptocurrency site. But I see no reason why they have to take down cryptocurrency!!!
-
As long as the internet persists, Bitcoin will be alive. All it needs is the internet, which is by global and unlimited. Even if individual Internet Service Providers were to block access to the Bitcoin network, there will always be alternatives.
-
No I dont think government will do this kind of desperate moves this will lead into protest of all crypto enthusiast the internet is our freedom and we need freedom no one can control un even government we are not slaves to just agree if they can do what they want to do into crypto we need to unite and fight if this happens.
-
Anything can happen in totalitarian countries. But in civilized countries, people will destroy such governments that will establish such restrictions, And even more so, limit or destroy the internet. today, the Internet is not only business and financial freedom, but also freedom of speech and freedom to receive any information.
-
I personally dont think it possible for the government to limit or shut down the internet, i also dont think its possible for them to restrict access to crypto related sites cus the money and time spent on doing this would have been used for several other things that are way more important, if they are shutting the internet down, they can if the city is a small one .
-
I don't think so.
It is a stupid decision if doing so to take down crypto. If they take down the internet, they will take down most industries and activities in the world, not only cryptocurrencies. And, how can an internet provider do this? They need income from using their connection internet from the providers. SO, it means taking down the internet will impact too many aspects.
-
So strange if they want to take down the internet to take down crypto. how can they manage the loss because of taking down the internet? Many cities using the internet right now and most activities and communications also use the internet. WIll they make the era to be back to the very old era?

If someone thinks like that it can be said to be sabotage and of course it will be against the applicable law, and clearly this treatment cannot be tolerated by anyone because internet access is a necessity that almost dominates human life in this century.
but I do not believe it will be done because all the current systems are made in such a way that if there is sabotage there will be other paths that can be done because technological advances cannot be stopped and needs will always be met and updated so that when there is a problem there is a solution.
there is no need to worry excessively with things like this and we just respond casually.
-
I doubt the government can do that. I mean how the government will plan to take down something that is not a burden to the community that kinda illogical and poor type of leadership. Many are enjoying the gift of cryptocurrency both rich and poor countries so for me there is no reason to take it down.
-
When it comes to cryptocurrency, the Internet is the most important thing, the only way they can get rid of cryptocurrency is by taking the Internet down and accessing some cryptocurrency sites. But I don't see any reason why they should remove cryptocurrency
-
what would happen if they limited the internet, banning or limiting access to crypto related sites.

You bet those government that are already hitting on the cryptocurrency transactions will definitely like this but I think that will be the answer because though I might be wrong, Why do people use VPN? to be able to trade from some countries that don't allow crypto trading. I believe there will definitely be a way out even if something like that happens.
-
We can always use VPN, proxies, proxy tunnels... There is a wide variety of options when it comes to circumventing any restriction that has to do with the Internet connection. Governments know, if they still want to impose restrictions on citizens, it will give another sign of their inability to get things done.
-
I agree with what many people say, I don't think this would happen. Even if governments ban cryptos, restricting access to websites is not likely to happen, at least not in places where capitalism is in place.
-
They can obviously do this if they want but i don't think they will do so. But we can't say anything about the future. If crypto start destroying the economy or it goes out of control then it may happen.
-
@robert20 governments can try, but they know they will only make a fool of themselves. How many governments have tried to eliminate and ban downloads of "illegal" content (movies, music, games) from the Internet?, many governments have tried. How many governments have succeeded?, none, people keep downloading the same as years ago.

I believe that only developers of various software that are used as a VPN and allow users to get any content and access to any resources, including those related to the cryptocurrency market, have succeeded in this matter. the government can't do anything about it.
-
You can limit anything, but it is almost impossible to destroy cryptography. In some countries, this is prohibited, while in others, on the contrary, it becomes a priority for saving the country's economy. Everyone has different priorities and methods for achieving certain goals.
-
@Galley you are right, in some countries it is totally or partially prohibited, but we can continue to work with cryptocurrencies even with those limitations. No matter how much effort and resources governments use, they can never 100% ban anything that works over networks, and they know it, as always, trying to scare the masses with bans, but that's just a sign of their weakness.
-
The future of cryptocurrency, is regulation. States, see that crypto, is a HUGE market. They will prefer to collect taxes, instead of banning.
-
dont think that will be possible as of now, as everything is digitalize, so doing that will affect many things in the economy apart from cryptocurrency self, it will be wrong decision for them.
-
Internet restrictions in case of cryptocurrency are useless. Programmers will always find a way to get around various restrictions. It is the truth of life
-
The government and every country can do that, but I don't think they will limit internet access as a whole, we can still use Vpn if the government does IP address blocking, but if internet access is blocked, like there is no electricity supply, then it is. won't happen, because every country needs that access
-
There's always a way to do that, because it's also happening in my country they restrict binance sites so we can't trade there. But, we have a way to go. We installed a VPN on each of our devices so we could visit binance and it allowed us to still trade.
-
I don't think so, World Government will regulated internet just because discourage to used cryptocurrency in such transactions with any online transaction invlove. Like investing on their crypto exchanges, and doing online gambling using crypto.
-
@Tristanerus the world government? I did not know that there was a world government... Anyway, they cannot do that either, all governments cannot decide what interests them and what not.
They can decide what is good for them and what is not good for them, and they can legislate to avoid it, but it is one thing to legislate and quite another to achieve it, so I gave you the example of "illegal" downloads. No government can do with the Internet what it wants, it would be its own grave.
-
what would happen if they limited the internet, banning or limiting access to crypto related sites.

I don't believe the government will take down crypto,by limited internet. Because we all know crypto has been predicted will be the future currency. I think the government will accept crypto currency soon.
-
I don't think they will. Since the government themselves use the Internet and now it is very difficult to imagine our life without the Internet.
