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.
Do not worry mate nothing can stop the power of new technology, the important here is people continue to supoort for crypto as well because majority is still believe the capability of this new era if currency.
The only way you can ban bitcoin is to completely shutdown the internet. Aside this nothing can be done to ban bitcoin. No matter how much noise countries are making about banning bitcoin. Non of them have been able to make it completely. Nobody can stop us from using the coin
But buddy no country can do that shoutdown the system network have big big effect to the busines of entire country. So meaning nothing stop.or ban bitcoin until.the internet connection continue run.
