If these arrangements or some of these arrangements are put into motion, it will certainly cause more stabilization in the market, and perhaps less overall growth of bitcoin.

Yes it will, but it would also strip Bitcoin from all the pseudo-anonymity it might have offered it’s users. If you read between the lines, you will see what their aim is. They want to control the people that are using Bitcoin and monitor every aspect of their finances. I would much rather use cash, than having to explain to some Chinese government agent, why I bought scented panties or a Dildo for my spouse or girlfriend. ^hmmmmmm^
ICO is the next big business and no one wants to give it up.

Is that a prediction? How can you be so sure.
Restrictions on the free flow of capital are specifically what will kill any exchange. Any competitor offering better liquidity will always win in this game. Liquidity is the name of the game in FOREX.
I can feel the tension between u and 8btccom. cute~
You are right. But some voice said the news was good for the decentralization of bitcoin trade.
Fraudulent ICOs became a serious problem in China, with new concerns that participants might even get a death penalty under local law. The phenomenon of ICOs has been drawing the attention of the investment market, and can be a great deal. But as with any medium, there are pitfalls and fraudulent schemes. This can have dire consequences for ill-informed Chinese investors. While they are reporting that there are many real ICOs and that they are a great investment option, the warnings also serve to alert you to possible frauds and to remind you that all of this is running out of regulation.
