Surprised China is invested in Bitcoin. In what way?

If government want to kill bitcoin they don't need technological solutions. They can ban companies from trading in it. And ban banks from interacting with companies that exchange it. Makes it very difficult for you to move money in/out. And there will be little to do with the bitcoin once you have it.

Those numbers are pretty meaningless without some concept of what queries they were making. When I was working with large logs I'd regularly pull huge amounts of logs to only look at maybe a handful of lines. Even then often only scanning for the things I'm specifically working on. Not saying this is what happened just saying those 2,000 employees almost definitely were not doing careful analysis on the complete result of their 9 million queries(And shouldn't have!).

10s of billions with plans for more is not small amounts even for Bill. Also he does not hide most of his wealth offshore. He got his wealth from stocks in Microsoft a publicly traded company and that is where most of his wealth is. Many rich people manipulate offshore accounts to hide money but that doesn't really make sense for Bill Gates. Please don't make up things.
