So when the collective west bans using Bitcoin, or forces all miners to follow some new AML regulation. All of the western Bitcoiners are going to expatriate to where? And how long before that country they flee to starts to become unfriendly? There's nothing healthy about thinking you've already won when you haven't even fought. There's a lot that remains to be seen.

I'm guessing outright bans would boost grassroots Bitcoin adoption very much. Banning never works for if something is banned it must be interesting in some way. Fighting in that scenario would be just using bitcoin as normally as possible, no?
