hasn't china's actions been muted by now? they have cried wolf way too many times. i'm guessing the price reflects china's on/off stance with bitcoin, and the only way it can move the price by now is by making positive news for bitcoin. i guess they could release good news, and then grim again just to mess with the price.
No. This is not from PBOC. This is above PBOC and they can basically close/regulate the exchanges at their will for violating the rules of the PBOC. Remember "Bitcoin" is now on the blacklist since last week
Again, nothing to be scared about for now
