Such news as Cracking down on miners is not palatable. Maybe because you don't have idea of the influence of Chinese to bitcoin mining. According to statista, 65% of the world mining hashrate is from China. There have been numerous news that Chinese government is cracking down on miner, if the hashrate drop, rate at which transaction get confirmed also drops. Such news is not pleasant to here
^ Definitely right, because in China, there are large companies of BTC mining. That is not all about the news that affects BTC price, it is the action on China that makes BTC price shaken and also reduce because of the result in banning BTC miners which is hash rate drop that could have an effect.
However, with or without China, BTC will always grow its price and we don't care if China were banned BTC, later soon BTC's price will go up and recover. Nevertheless, there are some people there in China who still have BTC holding even it is banned.
