"Banning" bitcoin is interesting since it basically bans factory mining compared to individuals mining. Because:

The high power consumption used by a heavy gamer (CPU + GPU) is easily indistinguishable and probably higher than a plain old individual miner since you would have CPU + GPU + Peripherals running.

And since there are 1000+ X more gamers than miners, the Bitcoin Inquisitors will have a hard time finding the needle in that haystack by simply examining your electricity bills.
