No, what I mean is that if the situation is bad enough people will leave regardless. They can't stop that short of putting a gun on someone's head. They'll make it incredibly tedious and annoying but they can't stop you.

Plus, I don't think outlawing Bitcoin is something that can happen overnight. They can't, it would be incredibly unpopular. It will be a slow affair and if you listen well enough you'll know when to dip.

there's another variation of the flu-- you can't leave!! BS.. they could come up with whatever. Or do you think I'm wrong?

if bitcoin became illegal by law

I doubt they can prevent people from leaving without a threat of violence. The only reason they got away with that is because people were too afraid of the flu.
