I looked at your infographic. How can this affect the cryptocurrency? China protects its interests and is very critical of the use of cryptocurrencies. I think the Chinese will use it more to pay for Fiat's cosmetic surgeries. Now China is starting trade wars with the United States. This can significantly reduce the income of the Chinese. I think that the Chinese government will take protective measures to protect the currency in the country.
