Bitcoin Forum

JUST saw this in Mainland China 8:30PM on CCTV 13 news. The tone of the government sponsored media was neutral/positive.

Anyone got a link to this?

here it is on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw3OSTkdE-s

China's weary because it's so disruptive and new, but they also understand the ramifications of ostracizing the country from bitcoin and missing out on the potential boat.

One of the funnier common misspellings.

heh thank you

China, Russia, India, and South Africa and Brazil have long ago declared a pact to break up the US Monopoly on money (the petrodollar). Every time you hear of a "BRICS Conference" (Usually reported on RT or in other countries, not typically mentioned in US media) that is their main focus, to promote their currencies to the top and undermine the petrodollar.

This week we've seen examples of China and Russia embracing bitcoin... If those 5 countries all fully embrace it, to the point where their state-run media says it's a viable alternative to gold and paypal, then it really doesn't matter what the US laws say... Bitcoin will beat the USD in every way that counts and be here to stay.

I'm guessing that more than 50% out of total 11.166M BTC is in USA and competition begin soon  :)

DATE NEED FIXING!  >:(

this is the same story as before?

Done.

This kind of attention by CCTV is bothering me.

My Mom asked me today about the trouble a "Bitcoin exchange" had with the U.S authorities, she saw it on CCTV, it's surrealistic.

why does it bother you?

an incursion on what you are used to? or a feeling that there is something afoot?

Uncertainty bothers people, and CCTV had a track record of against....pretty much anything liberating/progressive in the world. So I don't know who is/are behind all these, and I can't figure out their motive.

I am with Bitcoin hell or high water, but it would still be a unplesant feeling if it suffers a setback in adoption due to some unpredictable events...

Does anyone have links to parts 2, 3, 4 and 5 with subtitles?

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT ! China actually broadcasted this on their fucking NATIONAL PROPAGANDA TV !

It is exactly as I predicted (a year ago or so) - Chineese are going to fight dollar with Bitcoin !

Do you people understand the R.A.M.I.F.I.C.A.T.I.O.N.S. of this ? This is so huge... practically MIND BLOWING.

so has anyone worked out if this is different from the last one?? date says otherwise...

Pretty sure it's a different one.

There is huge majority of engineers, technologists, scientists amongst the Chinese communist party leadership. I think like 8 out of 10 of the top guys are technical.

Maybe they just "get it" so do not feel threatened ... unlike western countries that have leadership riddled with technophobic lawyers, bean counters, humanities, polysci, MBAs, etc?

Can anybody post a TL;DR version for those of us that do not speak Chinese?

The stats here back that up: http://bitnodes.io

I didn't expect China to be number one - I thought perhaps Russia and then the USA. Not so. There is one thing about bitcoin - it requires you to have a functional logical mind, which the Chinese have in abundance.

Don't worry comrades, a US cultural revolution may be closer at hand than we think:

?? ALREADY ??

That was fuckin' fast. OMG, it is happening... BTCBTCBTCBTCBTCBTCBTCBTC

If the Chinese are smart enough to use Bitcoin they should make money like anyone else will. They would like to destroy the US Dollar but it just isn't going to happen. Bitcoin isn't a replacement. Just another tool to diversify and create wealth from nothing. Only the money doesn't just go to the elite it will go to those that have the coins. It might even save the US from a potential  collapse.

If China buys up Bitcoin it is only good for us as it will make Bitcoin more scarce quicker. Many other countries world wide (like India) are  using it.  Let's say you are working in the US and you want to send money half way around the world to your relatives etc.. The cheapest easiest way is Bitcoin.   

More stats. China has 34% of downloads in May 2013:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/stats/map?dates=2013-05-01%20to%202013-05-19

Nice stats. But really, I find those stats irrelevant. I assume that most people in China will just download the client through mirrors and torrents.

This site is BRILLIANT!

Thanks.

I'm sure England thought it would be preposterous that their "sun never sets on our shores" empire would decline and be marginalized, along with the Pound Sterling.

The dollar is on the way out, and someone or something else will replace it on the global stage - this is for certain. The only question is, what and whom - and I think Bitcoin has a damned good chance of being involved in that particular bit of financial calculus.

If the Chinese are using Bitcoin in China for example. It will have the same effect on their own currency. It's not like the US Dollar will be singled out and effected all by itself.

I hope the US government sees this posts and stops panicking. Making fools of themselves. Trying to shut down Bitcoin exchanges.

100% of downloads from Cuba were linux version.

interesting ;D
