How much do you think the price will drop if tomorrow they say mining's illegal?
Surely this would be positive news. No more Segwit2x fud, no more bcash, no more miners trying to undermind Bitcoin to pump there own alt coin. No more miners trying to get rid of core and spreading fud about bloodstream because they posted a comment on a forum that got deleted by a mod.
Sure the network would slow down in the short term but in the long term this would be very useful for Bitcoin. So im pretty sure it won't happen.
