Chandler Guo is one of the most controversial but influential persons in the bitcoin investment area of China. People also describe him as King of Bitcoin. He said buying bitcoin as gambling. Recently he received an interview to reveal his prediction on regulation in China and future of bitcoin. https://twitter.com/BlockPulse360/status/980604368088129536
he said that because he was forced to say it. otherwise he would have disappeared. Don't believe a single you see from the biggest jail in the world.
Not necessarily, to be frank. There is a tricky balance between the regulation and crypto development in China. Gov not really wants to wipe out. This is my understanding. One simple example is the top exchanges with Chinese connections, they are making worldwide money. Why should gov wipe out this?
