It is not a mere statement what is causing the price of all the coins in the market to go down, this means that from now on they are going to take actions against all of the people that somehow are dealing with cryptocurrencies, this is a problem because as we know there are many Chinese citizens that invested in bitcoin and did so precisely to try to escape all of the measures the government was implementing, and now they do not have this opportunity anymore.
It's really a sad fact that even Chinese investors are being deprived of their own rights and even opportunities from their own country. If they will be sanctioned once they are discovered that they are still holding cryptos and transact them despite the bans, i know this will put them in danger. If they can transfer to other countries for their own safety and for them to continue creating opportunities with bitcoin and other potential cryptos, then it will be a good initiative for them to do. Might be a sad story, but definitely not a losing part in the end.
