The Shanghai Headquarters of the People's Bank of China said that in the process of promoting the blockchain technology, virtual currency speculation has gone up. Next, the cryptocurrency business activities in the area will be continuously monitored. Once illegal activity is found, it will be punished immediately, and it will be done early and prevent it from happening. The Shanghai Headquarters of the People's Bank of China said it would rectify illegal cryptocurrency speculation and remind investors not to replace cryptocurrency with blockchain technology. As soon as the news came out, Bitcoin’s market was also affected by it. It recently broke through the $7,000 level and continued to go down.
Don’t you think that china are even the biggest whales that we have in this cryptocurrency sphere, because it was just barely a month that their president came up with this same block chain speech/ cryptocurrency that looks like it favored bitcoin through the declaration of support for it and made the price of bitcoin to spike to $9000, now they are coming up with this story again, which they know would crash the market so they can get the opportunity to buy and accumulate at a cheaper rate again.
I am expecting them to come up with another favorable speech again that will make people to start investing out of fomo that would make the price to spike again. Anyway, they have some good and valid point here which I don't think is enough to have crashed the value of bitcoin this much.
