Youch, that is a bit harsh. I thought Taiwan was fairly friendly when it came to digital currency. I'm not sure how that will be helpful for the Taiwanese people. I'm sure this won't stop criminals from using digital currency, but will certainly prevent the average person from using it and prevent business and technology development in Taiwan.
I agree, quite harsh. I am sure there will be backlash and this will be reversed. I can only hope otherwise another bad press story on cryptocurrency. I do wish NEWS would report the good as well as the bad, but alas bad NEWS is what sells.
