They would have to define it to ban it. Bitcoin would just evolve to no longer fit the ban. There are already dozens of other cryptocurrencies brooding- just waiting for a scenario where Bitcoin is pushed out to make more room for them.

A ban on bitcoin will work about as well as a ban on piracy.

Not really, since the success of bitcoin still relies on conversion to another currency.

Additionally, the same applies to those other digital currencies as well.
