Hi,
China has already banned ICOs and is shutting down Bitcoin exchanges. What would happen if they also banned crypto mining?
It would suck for bitcoin miners in China. All their investment in operations would become immediately not-profitable. They'd have to move operations to another country.
For Bitcoin, the news might send the price down for a short stretch but it wouldn't impact the bitcoin network or the blockchain. The beauty of this decentralized system is that if one part of it goes down the remaining parts carry on as if nothing happened.
