That's why they call it "The News Cycle".
Consider a case like

The OP asks about wether the stories might be anti-btc propaganda. It's a reasonable question, though considering where the stories are coming from it's also possible that it's anti-China propaganda
I experienced the MSM campaigns in the build up to war on Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. I am suspicious of anything they report.
In this case, however I think it's just because both BTC and China generate clicks.
How is it propaganda? Itβs a fact that the Chinese government is taking action, that will have a real effect on crypto markets simply because China is so big.
Do you think itβs a setup for crypto being banned in other places? I canβt rule that out but China is famous for draconian policies like βyour one child can play online games for one hour a weekβ. Somehow people who live and breathe Hayek and Rand insist on libertarianism for the other 200 countries in the world but are drawn to Communism like a moth to a flame.
Just because China did that doesnβt mean other countries will.
