They literally kicked everyone out. Some came back and I remember hearing it's still quite significant like 10-20% of the hash rate.
It depends on their CBDC. If it's successful they might continue to ignore Bitcoin. They still have the 200k odd BTC seized from that Plus token scam.
True.
The government is leapfrogging from an already ubiquitously accepted mobile payments platform to another. I think this is also part of the problem, not just that Bitcoin was already there, and was soon likely to be everywhere.
I think this idea that governments want to migrate payments to central banks is meeting opposition and indifference everywhere because there is no government able to delineate real advantages for the average end-user.
I don't get when international transactions are cited as being the advantage of CBDC. For global trade, sure, if there's a willingness to co-adopt a new system. This is very different to international transfers and foreign exhange for retail.
IMO, if any, the embarrassment should be the 10-20% hash rate, not lifting restrictions.
