There could be a border, where the law and currency change. But people could still be free to cross that border.

If everyone stopped mining transactions couldn't go through anymore and the value of bitcoin would drop. If you're heavily invested in bitcoin that's bad. Also miners try to squeeze in their preferred transactions which they can't do when they're not mining. Finally the costs dont drop to zero when you turn the miners off, so the loss from mining might be less than the loss when not mining.

Unfortunately no, experts are typically switched out for every token. The way I understand it the idea was something like having each expert be good at one kind of task, but that's not how it panned out after training.

Would you build a fab that costs billions and takes years to start production because of a bubble?
