I was curious to see all the different times that counties, companies, banks came out and announced bans, restrictions, or general FUD on crypto. I'm sure I've missed some important events so feel free to add to this list in the comments, but the overall consensus is we saw a WAVE of this in 2018, right after crypto had massive parabolic moves at the end of 2017. 2019-2020 these regulations and articles fell way off while the price was dropping consistently during the bear market...Once again we are seeing this again in 2021 after more strong price movement at the end of 2020 and early 2021.
Feel free to draw your own conclusions, but I thought this was very interesting that the bulk of this all happens when price is booming (naturally).
