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.
I think you misunderstood it China doesn't ban Bitcoin they ban ICO's and mining but not Bitcoin.
And it is true Bitcoin is impossible to be ban or stop even if they ban it we would surely find a way to keep on using it.
