This is leading to the same point one of us has a misunderstanding of who actually owns and operates the hash and what level of exposure they have to ...

Yeah I was aware of that. It's unclear to me if it's a significant amount or not. Isn't it a question of pool decentralization tho? And not whether there's still physical hash in China? I need a pool to submit my transaction to.

But maybe I dont understand the issue well enough.

Heres another thought experiment that might be more germane.

Suppose I'm a person in the over-regulated New Western Bloc and I want to make a purchase with Bitcoin. But because csam, terrorism etc Western exchanges now require proof of origin of funds. So the merchant I want to exchange with cannot accept my self-custodied SATs. They need to sell for fiat to buy raw materials and cannot take the risk these funds will be rejected.

Anyway It seems to me there's a number of different ways it could go, which essentially amounts to sovereign usage being throttled to death.
