I'm sure even though the government banned bitcoin but they buy bitcoin in secret because everyone knows bitcoin is one of the most valuable assets and can be stored for a long time and bitcoin is one of the very secret assets that no one else can know.
Yeah, I agree with you on this. Many of them buys Bitcoin in secret. Although, they try to control it, but unfortunate, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized system, it basically can't be controlled. So the government end up placing ban on it, however, despite banning it, people still trade with peer-to-peer. Which keeps Bitcoin on the move
