I think that the author of that article should speak with the Chinese Government since they are now banning bitcoin. We all know that once the Chinese Government moves it's for real. Too bad for Chinese people who use bitcoin and other cryptos, lucky for us since our government thinks the same as the author of this article.
Chinese government can't stop bitcoin to be honest, there's a lot of OTC buying and I'm sure that trading underground will also occurs once they really put the ban hammer.
So it's really up to where we decided to live, if you are somewhat in a government wherein they have a hard stance, chances are, you might want to migrate to other nations wherein crypto is regulated.
