Bitcoin is a tool. It is useful for some things, and it is not useful for others.

Any country who prohibits, like any country who prohibits any tool, it is putting their residents at a disadvantage. By definition. In those situations where the nail is a Bitcoin, Thai people will have no hammer, but a wrench with which to bang the nail in.

The beauty of Bitcoin is it only needs to thrive in one of the 200+ countries in the world for it to achieve Proof of Concept status. And once it does that, other countries will follow, and eventually any countries who prohibit it will need to allow it to stay competitive.
