South Korea joins the crackdown..

Is this a buying opportunity, and CCs will shake off the desire of governments to curb the flow of money into unregulated space, or could this be a real problem for the process of CCs?

a lot has happened with CCs since the turn of the year and much of the above.
i was looking to buy some Bitcoin and Ether - which have become correlated through some stages, if the XBT price dipped to $6500.. but it didn't, it settled around $8200/8400 for a few days and is now back up about $10400.
