Of course you can. 20 years in prision for using Bitcoin. Not a lot of people would wanna risk that. And when 99,99% chooses to not touch it with a pole the value will collapse. Then a few people can sit there with Bitcoins that no one wants to buy from them.

Is it a good idea? Mayne not. But obviously one can crush Bitcoin if one wants.

"Is it a good idea?"

No, not "obviously one crush" and nor are there no consequences if one were to try.

Except it's multinational. China declared bitcoin illegal in 2021 but it still seems to exist.
