Title: So did China ask all banks not to invest in Bitcoins or only their central bank? Post by: ashaw596 on December 05, 2013, 05:10:06 PM I'm partially ask this because I really don't know.
But also because the use of the word ban is really annoying me. They pretty much just warned everyone its a really volatile thing to invest in (which I hope everyone could already tell) and that their banks shouldn't deal with it because its too risky of an investment.

I did not use the word "ban" except to complain about it. Other than that, does anyone actually know what they actually said?

The banks moving into BTC too fast would give them too much power over it and too much risk. Imagine a bank speculating big time with an enormous about of their holdings, and the price of BTC crashing, if even only temporarily- the government would be on the hook for bailing out that bank. The chinese don't want this, and hence, banning finacial institutions for dealing with it until further notice.

I would not call the winners "sheep". |
