Bitcoin was used to counter the regulation of centralized institutions from the beginning, so it will inevitably be cracked down by the government and even criminalized by some governments.
Bitcoin was not used to counter centralized currencies, it is just an alternative. People will still always use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. If the government are criminalizing cryptocurrencies, it is just like they are criminalizing people's privacy.
1. Due to the arrival of the Bitcoin bull market, many Chinese have joined the Bitcoin market, but most of them have never even heard of Nakamoto.
What does this has to mean? Will Satoshi Nakamoto be the one to buy and sell them bitcoin? Satoshi is just the founder of Bitcoin, but Bitcoin is not controlled by anyone or any central authority.
2. The popularity of Bitcoin mining, as Musk said, has had a negative impact on the environment and energy, forcing the Chinese government to crack down on Bitcoin mining.
Elon Musk is a clown misleading people because I know he knows much about Bitcoin but just want to manipulate and make people to buy Doge. I think you need to read this:
Study: Over 74% of Bitcoin Mining is Powered by Renewable EnergyPeople will not face the fact, when people are using a service and able to pay for the service, is that what people should be complaning about? And yet Bitcoin almost make use of green energy for mining.
We have known China to be absurd, they do not want to welcome anything not from their country, no foreign social media did they accepted in their country, cryptocurrencies were not even accepted before in China till present. Just know that Bitcoin is not controlled by any country, if China force their miners not to mine Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies again, that is just an opportunity for miners in other countries to buy more miners, also the miners in China will move to other countries.
