Chinese govt has decided to ban the local bitcoin exchanges. [1] This is pretty big news considering one of large market and mining firms are located in China.
Do you think this would affect  bitcoin world and bitcoin price in negative way or positive way?  Some say china is doing so because people are bypassing the banking system and in turn the government regulation using bitcoin.

Although it may have an impact, I doubt if it will be profound and lasting. The Chinese market is big and is one of the main players in the cryptocurrency market, no doubt. But, I think that this market has risen up to a status that it can overcome and adjust at any bad thing thrown at it. Hopefully though that they lift it up soon because the mere size of China's market helps cryptocurrency to steadily grow.
