A ban list is a list of states afraid of arithmetic. China banned Bitcoin in 2021 — supposedly terminal. The network shrugged; hashrate migrated; price compounded. You cannot ban a protocol — only the on-ramp, the mine, the bank. Every country on that list is taxing exit, defending a monopoly older than its flag. The state's currency is the one product you cannot refuse, which is why it's the one worth escaping. Demand doesn't die; it goes underground, then global. Full stop.
