Looking for any research, statistics, personal experiences etc. about how Bitcoin is perceived, used, managed, stored, by the people of China. Could be recent (post mining ban) or old (pre-bitmain).
It seems like bitcoin software development and soft-fork discourse is largely Westernized, while the hardware for ascis (and signing devices and nodes) is largely produced in the East. For years, Chinese 51% FUD was rampant so I have the impression that Bitcoin was/is very popular in China.
What is the enforcement like for Chinese government's ban on bitcoin? Fines, imprisonment, confiscation? Do Chinese people use offshore exchanges or self-custody with DEXs to circumvent the restrictions?
Is HODL a meme in China too? Or is BTC more a tool to evade capital controls?
How might someone memorize their seed if they aren't comfortable with recognizing 12 English words? Is there an alternative BIP39 encoding that's popular in non-english regions?
Any biographies about the bitcoin founders/builders and companies in China?
If its China-Bitcoin-related whatsoever, please share below!
