>and your point is.. what?

Crypto ASIC miners are specialized hardware nobody else wants or needs. Geddit?


>What has been the effect of it on btc hashrate? Did it fall? Did btc network got weaker?

lol that was just a single delivery that proved the point.

Just keep kicking the can down the road, bro!

lol the weakly-enforced China "ban" didn't prove Bitcoin's invulnerability, it proved its fragility: the hashrate collapsed by half overnight and rebounded *only* because other jurisdictions allowed miners to set up camp. Pretending "nothing happened" is therefore revisionist, the episode proved State power can disrupt Bitcoin's security with the stroke of a pen. If multiple large jurisdictions coordinated (as with semiconductors or rare earths), recovery would be far from trivial.

ASICs aren't like drugs or Ryzen CPUs you sneak through the mail, they're bulky, power-hungry machines that require warehouses, megawatts and supply chains that governments already regulate. Pretending customs agents won't notice container loads of money-printing hardware is laughable. Governments don't need to track every CPU purchase, but they absolutely can and do control imports of specialized, high-power equipment. If Ryzen chips were magically siphoning off billions in capital flight, you bet states would intervene. Customs and commercial shipping oversight already choke hardware flows at scale, just ask Huawei or Nvidia what export bans feel like.

Bottom line: Bitcoin ASIC mining is not untouchable contraband you can slip into the mail, its industrial infrastructure that depends on global supply chains, bulk logistics and heavy power draw. Therefore it is doomed to forever remain permissioned. The only people pretending otherwise are those desperate to believe their heavy bags are immune to reality.

In b4 the "da gubberment would never do that" cope. Have fun, kids!
