China’s Banhammer Keeps Hammering

Chinas banhammer keeps hammering. With China excluding itself more from economic freedom and technological progress by banning services such as CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap, I believe that many great and profitable risk-reward moments will be created in the crypto space. Let’s take a quick look on the other times that China has been cracking down on crypto. **2013 December** Financial institutions are banned from making, facilitating, or handling Bitcoin transactions. **2014 April** Commercial banks and payment processing companies are mandated to shut down existing Bitcoin trading accounts. **2017 February** Cryptocurrency exchanges are required to comply in full with anti-money laundering regulations. **2017 September** Chinese domestic crypto-exchanges are hit by the banhammer. Almost 200 trading platforms shut their doors or move overseas to other countries. Crypto ICOs are banned in China. **2019 April** A partial ban on the crypto-mining industry is established. **2021 May** Several Chinese provinces individually start banning cryptocurrency mining as an industry and starts banning mining equipment. Financial institutions are now banned from dealing with cryptocurrencies, not only Bitcoin. **2021 June** A complete country-spanning ban on cryptocurrency mining and mining equipment. And now, this month, the banhammer hits on cryptocurrency trading by individuals, even using foreign cryptocurrency exchanges. In the long term, I see this only making crypto stronger, no matter what the Chinese government does. This banning might create some short-term risks in the crypto market, but it also create a lot of opportunities. I think that the rewards will heavily outweigh the risks. When the dip comes, the dip will be bought.
