Journalism is all about making things as sensational. This is exactly like when they said China were going to jail miners and traders. Until this single day, not a single country in the world has put anyone in jail for using Bitcoin alone. Everyone jailed or fined was because they committed a criminal act like this points out. Evading tax etc. People need to understand governments are not stupid.
Sometimes, they are just exaggerating their title so that they can catch viewers point. But that is not the real scenario. Sometimes, journalists are not giving the exact term and news to the people. Bitcoin mining is not a criminal job. Why does China will jail miners if it does not violate any existing law. Unless, China has different constitution. But, as far as I know we could not be imprisoned without the law.
