So let's say BTC was to be absolutely frozen from here on at todays price ,would you still buy?
I don't think BTC was intended as the speculation tool it has turned into .
Who on here regularly makes purchases using BTC ?
Your question and assumption are not appropriate. Who will be able to freeze bitcoin price, today, tomorrow, next year, next decade?
Bitcoin network is decentralized and if mining farms will be shut down by governments, bitcoin will still be mined by retail miners, at homes and anywhere else. Bitcoin difficulty will be adjusted each 2016 blocks and if huge mining fars are off, its difficulty will be slowly fallen. Some days, you will be able to mine with GPU again.
But it is unrealistic, as I do neither believe any entity can shut down bitcoin network nor freeze bitcoin price.
