Why wouldn’t it be likely?

Currency flight from China is a serious problem, and the CCP has instituted controls to make sure money doesn’t leave the country (except for some permitted amount)

I don’t think it’s unlikely that BTC gets cracked down on by the CCP if they notice that a large volume of citizens are using it to skirt capital controls.



>Why wouldn’t it be likely?

What matters is public perception of if it could happen, not if it can happen.
