China shut's down BTC-Mining Op's near Coal plants. BTC prices collapse, BTC fee's go Astro. False news about SEC fraud investigation of BTC, BTC prices goes down, ...
Recall that +67% of all BTC mining on earth takes place in China, that all BTC mining hardware ASIC&GPU is 'Made in China'; CCP (China.GOV) recently took over all ANT-BABA(jack-ma) Holding companys, CCP now owns Bitcoin.
Many of bitcoin's largest price drops can be traced to negative news related to china.
Your partially right, but like the blind men with the elephant, sort of wrong.
COAL is a major problem, but the real problem is historically in CHINA from the begin the miners were near HYDRO, but in recent years everywhere here in ASIA, the rivers are running dry
In order to keep these miners running, and remember we're talking about the equivalent of entire country of power wasted like say Argentina, in terms of powering these BITMAIN miners that burn 3,000KWH each, and they can be lined up to the moon.
Something has to be done, in order to mine bitcoin do we kill everyone in CHINA with smoke from coal??
I know the BITCOIN community don't care about human life, they only care about HODL, and mis-information and lies and get rich quick.
The CCP has to make a decision, they go slow. Jack Ma owner of ANT ( all hw & mining ops ) is under house-arrest, CCP has taken over in the coming months we'll learn what they intend to do with the BITCOIN "PROBLEM".
Expect to see more orderly permanent shutdown of BTC, expect to see more astronomic fee's from transactions. Expect to see more world-wide pressure from ENVIRO groups about the terrible energy waste. Given ESG is now Biden's #1 platform, expect to see major push for low-energy Crypto Mining Op's.
BITCOIN fools, pumper's, dumper's, and evangelists don't want to hear or discuss these topics, but long-term investors, better take off their Bitcoin Stained Googles.

The USA lawyers successfully argued in courts for years that Cigarettes didn't hurt you
Monsanto for years proved in courts you could drink Round-Up (tm)
China is a little bit different, in China when you or something kills their children, the people take it into their own hands and kill the CEO's, and/or the people responsible for the pollution. The USA public is sheep, do not expect this issue to evolve as it does in the USA where killing is legal, and the guy with most expensive lawyer never goes to jail.
If China does shutdown BTC-mining with COAL, or forces re-location, or honestly if they just forced all miners to pay 0.20 ( 20 cents/khw ) the problem would be solved, they would move on. The problem of course is that power is subsidized, largely because of heating needs in the North and keeping it affordable.
There is tremendous pressure on the CCP to resolve this issue. Overnight the outcome could be a complete 'halt' of BTC, just think if 70% of the world's miners were brought to a halt, the fee's would go astronomical, and the 'trust' would never return. All the miners on earth are hard-wired to call home to 'bitmain', now owned by the CCP, they pull the plug, and home is /dev/null.
I know this is too much to ask of the morons pumping BITCOIN to the moon, but money is not everything, in fact most of the earth its not even relevant. It's funny Satoshi (myth) was to escape the USD (fiat), but BITCOIN has attracted the most zealous money grubbers on earth. Go Figure.
