AI visual note: A CNBC headline from September 24, 2021, reads "China's central bank says all cryptocurrency-related activities are illegal, vows harsh crackdown," noting the People's Bank of China's prohibition on crypto trading, order matching, token issuance, derivatives, and overseas exchanges serving mainland China. The image illustrates the peak FUD moment referenced in the post, after which Bitcoin dropped 15% before surging 63% in just three weeks.
