murder is actually the perfect example. it was legal in so many ways in the past (slavery) and a few today (death penalty, wars) the thing with all laws, and the state, is that they exist not to make the world fair, but ti maintain status quo. in the death example, if the law explicitly left baseball bats deaths out, that means that someone with influence over the state wanted it to be exempt. this is the same on china now probably. china has tons of tech and hydropower. heck they may have invented satoshi! and maybe now too many small players are disrupting their game? or it maybe be that btc is but an annoyance to them and when their economy crumbles because of the upcomingreal state buble they dont want to also have to deal with people loosing money to bogus ICOs. who knows?
