    Imagine what would have happened to a country that banned microcomputers in 1976. That's what's going to happen to Turkey.https://www.reuters.com/technology/turkey-bans-use-cryptocurrencies-payments-sends-bitcoin-down-2021-04-16/ …

        Could be. Though I assume they aren't banning blockchain, so the actually technology is there, just not the internet magic money. Yes, I own crypto. Doesn't mean you can't be skeptical of its value.

        I'm still hearing from people with PhD in Computer science all crypto is a scam and they don't understand it 😅

        Yeah except here it won’t work. Turks are more tech savvy than most western countries and even China. They’ll find a work-around. This ban is a bullish sign. More will buy #bitcoin and more will use it.

        They're going to get banned elsewhere. It's inevitable.

        🎯 any sovereign nation that bans #bitcoin and cryptocurrency will only exclude themselves from the massive financial shift. The train has left the station...

        Nice try, but totally not the same or even remotely similar.
