If they had control over Bitcoin they would not be taking measures like this.

I've talked to a guy online who bragged about his friends mining operation full of 3090's.. and they were Chinese playing a game on a NA server. They're getting past the firewall somehow. Social credit score? You only need one node inside the firewall to stay connected. Perhaps it's governmental incompetence, corruption, or monitored.
I imagine it's a mix of VPNs and gov incompetence, or if the game has servers installed within China's borders... which most games do. The CCP requires datacenters/servers to be physically hosted within China if you wish to do business there openly.
3090s are super expensive! They must've been salvaging the bins. wow.
Not everyone in China is poor. If you have money and connections to get 3090s off the manufacturing line, you have first dibs. Lots of Chinese infest games. Have you heard the term Chinese gold farmer? They run bots to farm in-game credits to sell for real money. Even (especially) games with zero Chinese servers.
True true, the connections part is key.
I’d love a 3090… :) it’ll make my GAW experience more… vivid.
3080ti is a better value, but the 4000 series are coming later this year I believe. Not that any are available for mere humans at retail prices.
