The only thing I would'nt have done is to self-moderate the thread. That will cause it to have fewer replies and you may find several other threads with more replies than keep being bumped while yours dies.
Some shitposts are not deleted, if I would allow the same guys to do this in my topic in which I'm complaining about them it would make no sense.
If the topic dies and it's not on the first page it doesn't matter, at least I tried, and just the thought of guys rushing to post to make their quota and then suddenly stopping because they know their shitpost is going to be removed is enough.
I am not convinced nor believing that they would really do a U-Turn and unban Bitcoin mining (unless it's really coming from them or from their own mouth).
And who could expect the Chinese government to come out and say, we have been wrong about this!?
No way in hell this will happen, they would rather see a complete collapse of an economic sector rather than admit they made the wrong decisions about something, just look at everything that happened recently, from the housing bubble to covid, to the energy crisis, they will never admit of being wrong nor will they openly change a thing.
