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.
Is the Chinese government banning bitcoin or regulating the virtual agent's, because the last I hard from China is the stopping of bitcoin mining farm's, the point here is very clear even in China today the citizens are still using bitcoin freely so I still agree with the author of the article no government can ban bitcoin, before bitcoin can be unaccessible to the public is when the whole internet is shutdown which is impossible. This is why bitcoin is some time call the internet money.
