could have

Yes, and the sky could fall on our heads.

It didn't happen, and it can't happen any more.

What were Bitcoin maximalists saying at the time

They always knew miners are super mobile.

"It can't happen anymore"

Except they Chinese hashrate went back up even though mining is still illegal... Which begs the question... Did the miners really move out of China or did they simply hide the fact that they're in China?
