I think a ban can work quite well as a deterrent. If ThePiratebay/PopcornTime was not illegal, we wouldn't have Netflix&co.

It's not perfect, but I think a ban can be very effective.

Also, I'm tired of hearing cryptocurrency-related stories at social events and in podcasts. If it were illegal, I believe people would be more reluctant in spreading these stories.
