With its latest move, China joins a small list of nations that are crypto prohibitionists. And it is a swing in the opposite direction of El Salvador, which adopted Bitcoin as legal tender this year and was lauded by Libertarians as well as Bitcoin believers. In the U.S., where crypto trading is allowed but regulators are taking a close look, some see an opportunity in China’s deepening crackdown. The banning maybe because the government want to be in charge of an experiment with potentially trillions of dollars in play. Who will control the crypto and bitcoin billion dollar market ?
