lol you found the least reputable source
a reddit,
wrote by someone that read a newspaper and quoted such media as their source
the media that read some rumours from other media and quoted such media as source
the other media that reported a rumour of a memo, but didnt quote the entire contents
will everyone stop panicking like school kids that just been caught smoking weed.
the March announcement was a memo reminder sent to banks.. not citizens, but banks.
reminding them that they have until April 15th to follow the guidance issued in December.
the guidance issued in December was that banks cannot themselves invest in bitcoin as part of the banks investment portfolio.
the guidance issued in December was that middle men need licences regulated in regards to the telecommunications regulations.
any banks still having bitcoin on their official books, will be sanctioned. any middle men without licences will have accounts closed or sanctioned.
and as for citizens.. no action to be taken apart from being warned of the risks of trading volatile priced investments.
btcchina and the other exchanges are fully aware of their licence requirements so they do not see April 15th as a problem. neither do chinese citizens.. so why the crap are americans and europeans crying like school kids about something that does not affect them.
the mind boggles.
