Semi-adversarial states can use BTC as:
gray reserve,
sanctions valve,
signaling/settlement rail.
West cannot fully kill BTC without:
handing it to adversaries,
losing visibility into some capital flows.
At the protocol layer, Bitcoin as it actually exists is extremely close to optimal for a Controller-grade pressure valve.
So base case: contain, not kill.*
