Title: If/when China gets on board with Bitcoin, price could skyrocket.

Sure there may be risk, but there could be huge profits and hedging.

I see this as a good sign.

The rise of the digital currency Bitcoin is in no small part because of China's market, says a report on the website of Economic Information daily, a business journal operated by Xinhua.

The list price of Bitcoin on FXBTC, a China-based platform for the currency, was 765.7 yuan (US$125.08) against the Bitcoin on Sept. 28.

Though the numbers look promising, the virtual currency is not issued by the central bank and thus is not as reliable as the public might think. Some investors have suffered substantial losses from severe fluctuations, said the report.

China should eventually attempt to dethrone the USD from the world reserve currency status.  However, maybe it's too early for them and they're trying to quietly acquire gold/silver/bitcoin in the meantime...

The country is now doing something like that if the debt cannot be paid.

Currently China is still looking on these mathematical issues as CCTV aired about it.

I'd say $180 is the number to shoot for ($180 is significant because it'd be the highest close since the top of the bubble.)

Top four daily closing prices ever:

2013-04-09: $230.00
2013-04-08: $187.50
2013-04-10: $165.00
2013-04-07: $162.30

I'd say $180 is the number to shoot for ($180 is significant because it'd be the highest close since the top of the bubble.)
Top four daily closing prices ever:

2010-04-09: $230.00
2010-04-08: $187.50
2010-04-10: $165.00
2010-04-07: $162.30

Wait, 2010?

The bubble popped one day after  the 230.00 close. After that point we've never closed above $180. This would be the first time (I believe once we closed above $160, but maybe even $170 would be a new closing high disregarding the tip of the bubble).

oops.

The highest post-bubble close is $165. We hit a daily high of $166.43 on April 24th, but closed at $154.20.

or the Chinese gov would decide it doesn't really like that the citizens can actually use money without the big brother watching and would start the regular course of chasing people around to stop it...
p.s.
it doesn't matter that Bitcoin is distributed system the Chinese gov can just block the internet itself (remember a few years back the hijacked around 60% of of all the communication around the world?)
