    Yes, because it is even more wrong. One of the most mobile industries in the world that seeks cheap power concentrates where that cheap power is available. China ban bitcoin, miners moved away. Miners can always simply move somewhere else. That already happened and you don’t even know it.

      Ok, so you ignored what I said.

      China could have seized all mining equipment just by deciding to nationalize the industry instead of banning it, boom, 51%+ of the hashrate in the hands of the Chinese government. What were Bitcoin maximalists saying at the time? Fuck dick, as long as the price goes up, who cares about the tech behind it?

        could have

        Yes, and the sky could fall on our heads.

        It didn’t happen, and it can’t happen any more.

        What were Bitcoin maximalists saying at the time

        They always knew miners are super mobile.
