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.

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

"Is it a good idea?"

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