Just like other laws, I thinks there are more flaws in their new laws because of unexperience of the goverment in crytocurrency. But in the end, China will continue this regulation and hopefully the market be stable. Been waiting for the bitcoin to rocket again thsi last quarter.
I think that is left for the China to decide in which world they are living now. Bitcoin will thrive with them or without them
By now they have realized their mistake because bitcoin made more people richer more than anything in China and anything they've ever created!
Saying they banned cryptocurrency exchanges and ICOs in China is almost like banning electricity or mobile phones for their people as investors.
Lucky for them they got their senses back so early... LOL
