what would if you were to destroy every bitcoin mining operation in the world?

When doctors say don't let your kids watch horror movies is because of this, now people are having nightmares after finding out about antbleed to a point where they see the possibility of the entire +$1B industry easily going down.
At least make the effort to ask your question properly.

What would've happened if Jihan Wu couldn't get his way with BU and people would've never found out about antbleed? what would happened if he were to shut down all the ant miners remotely?
Then those other manufacturers throw a party and celebrate 7 days and 7 nights

Transactions are only recorded and confirmed as long as the network is up and running. In order for the Blockchain to function properly it needs the input of miners who ensure that transactions are confirmed and recorded through the mining of other blocks. In other words, it's a self sufficient system. Without the miners there'd be no functioning bitcoin system...

How would this effect bitcoin? would it cause us to regress back to a time where we actually counted bitcoin in bitcoins not satoshis, or would bitcoin become insanely expensive?

If the miners stooped mining then the supply will be fixed since no new bitcoin are mined. The value of bitcoin will surely become very high because more users will demand for bitcoin. However, since the miners are responsible for the confirmation of transactions, what would be of bitcoin then? No transactions, no circulation of bitcoin, nothing. Bitcoin will be useless because no one can use it for any type of transaction. Congratulations! You just killed bitcoin! Well done.

Mining is an integral part of Bitcoin. If you destroy mining, you destroy Bitcoin.

What if we are able to destroy corporate mining of bitcoins,can we shift back to the old GPU mining and be able to help with the transactions.I am certain that there will be a point in time in the future that mass mining farms will close down because of the running cost and the ROI factors taking into consideration.

I think it is completely absurd to discuss on topics like this. Let's leave this possibility be a possibility. Better concentrate on relatively important issue as bitcoin is still on developing mode and there is very much to improve.

I agree. The development of bitcoin can still work very hard to make it stronger and more popular.

It is a naive fantasy. Even if we could change the POW algorithm to be GPU-only, we would still get this:
