Title: WeChat bans crypto transactions in its payment channels Post by: alexcopper on May 07, 2019, 06:12:01 PM https://www.theblockcrypto.com/tiny/wechat-bans-crypto-transactions-in-its-payment-channels/
Did everyone hear about the recent statement released from WeChat regarding the ban of all crypto transactions? This would make sense seeing that it is a Chinese company and China has been pushing hard to regulate crypto. What does this mean for crypto and WeChat? Will we see decentralized apps like Elixxir take its place? Title: Re: WeChat bans crypto transactions in its payment channels Post by: rijaljun on May 07, 2019, 06:22:52 PM WeChat is a under Chinese company right? So this is not a big deal on my opinion, China government gas a negative views on Bitcoin and this action is following government's law on banning almost everything related to crypto.
WeChat decision is just to make sure that the platform won't get banned by the government which will end up in losing their users (most of WeChat users are Chinese). I'm not sure if this will have a negative impact on market but, this kind of bad news from China is nothing new to crypto.

I do not agree that it does not matter much. It has, even as it has! China is 1/6 of the world's population. And the restriction of such a market entails a great influence on the entire market as a whole. Remember, at least, China’s ban on participation in ICO. After that, we did not see multi-million fees in each project. Everything has become much more modest. Title: Re: WeChat bans crypto transactions in its payment channels Post by: ivan1975 on May 07, 2019, 06:49:34 PM I think such news may have a negative impact on the crypto world.
Much more negative event, if China completely ban mining cryptocurrency. The decision should be made soon. Title: Re: WeChat bans crypto transactions in its payment channels Post by: Woodie on May 07, 2019, 06:58:36 PM The best wechat could do to stay ahead of their competitors is find a way to fuse crypto into their platform and not going in with a ban hammer!
Being a big company, If it's an issue of legality they can easily find a good lawyer and establish base where crypto is welcome and will allow them to grow their user base, it's a WIN-WIN for everyone..easy peasy.

This would make sense seeing that it is a Chinese company and China has been pushing hard to regulate crypto. What does this mean for crypto and WeChat? Will we see decentralized apps like Elixxir take its place? This can be expected since the Chinese government seems to be dead serious in flushing out the use of any cryptocurrency within the boundary and influence of its power. Firms basing within China have no choice but to bow their heads to the government's wielding influence as going against can mean going to the cemetery. Now, will this have any direct on the market? So far there is no such thing but we don't know the long-term effect unless there can be a replacement on the horizon. Anyway, I am confident that even if we totally lost the Chinese market, cryptocurrency is here to stay and can even boom better and stronger.

Wechat is more localized in China. It is not yet a popular app that can shake the entire crypto community if it decides to ban cryptocurrency transactions.Did everyone hear about the recent statement released from WeChat regarding the ban of all crypto transactions?

In the world where crypto is being adopted (slowly) there are still some companies that are still banning crypto.
But isn't WeChat a Chinese company's app and crypto is already banned over there? Title: Re: WeChat bans crypto transactions in its payment channels Post by: jdarren on May 08, 2019, 05:24:18 AM I agree I think this is a massive impact on the crypto community until something can match the impact WeChat has made

Such news dont shock the markets anymore, they wont trigger massive sells.

Title: Re: WeChat bans crypto transactions in its payment channels Post by: batang_bitcoin on May 08, 2019, 06:20:33 AM Not everyone uses WeChat and if they are banning crypto transactions, so what? it's their decision and no one can stop them from doing that. From what I've heard about the rumors, aren't they going to create their own crypto too? And with this move, they are trying to eliminate competition on their own platform by doing this. Elixxir isn't really getting the attention from the community, I respect David and I'm a fan of him but that's the reality.

It is just humor that all cryptocurrencies are banned in China , there are still some of the cryptocurrency right now that still circulating in china.Title: Re: WeChat bans crypto transactions in its payment channels Post by: Gemliting on May 08, 2019, 07:21:34 AM WEchat is chinese messenger app and the Chinese government block all transaction related on crypto so there is no big deal ;D

Will we see decentralized apps like Elixxir take its place? I am sure they must have studied cryptocurrency carefully and would have seen it has threat to their governance, if not, I don’t know why they are taking these actions, at first it was the banning of cryptocurrency miners, and now they have expanded their ban to wechat crypto payment too.

So this is not a big deal on my opinion, China government gas a negative views on Bitcoin and this action is following government's law on banning almost everything related to crypto. WeChat is a good company, but I think the Chinese government are really influential and they have no choice but also to ban crypto transactions or else there will no users that will stay with them or they will get the punishment from the government. Yes, this is not new to Chinese crypto but its just sad because they are trying to regulate cryptocurrency in not a good way. This kind of news can affect the market, but its just a minimal effect in short term I think. WeChat decision is just to make sure that the platform won't get banned by the government which will end up in losing their users (most of WeChat users are Chinese).

Title: Re: WeChat bans crypto transactions in its payment channels Post by: alexcopper on May 09, 2019, 10:34:03 PM This sounds like a scary foreshadow of Facebook becoming this centralized power monger and making sure that their system works better than anyone elses even in the case of owning peoples personal data.
I vote for any other decentralized platform that can take down all the above Title: Re: WeChat bans crypto transactions in its payment channels Post by: Psynthax on May 09, 2019, 10:49:52 PM That just sucks. In the world where crypto is being adopted (slowly) there are still some companies that are still banning crypto. Wechat owned by Tencent and that's not a big surprise if that company at the end of the story has decided to ban crypto. But it doesn't matter a lot and none use we chat to create any crypto transaction or crypto related activities. I don't care so much about that because china and its company around there are the FUDders since the beginning of crypto itself. But isn't WeChat a Chinese company's app and crypto is already banned over there? That will always do that.

They'll only be left behind as the crypto world progresses further. With projects that are working to influence sectors such as gaming (http://bit.ly/2K0GUby), the crypto world will definitely gain more traction.

Good point, crypto won't suffered with such actions as there's already venues of businesses where crypto already been establishing a good usage, if more of this places will keep it and enhance we will be enjoying the success of this industry.Title: Re: WeChat bans crypto transactions in its payment channels Post by: dimonarka on May 30, 2019, 12:45:45 PM I think this is a stupid decision and completely unrealistic in size of this social network, since what then prevents these users from entering and buying tokens just on a decentralized exchange? I will answer you nothing in my opinion it will not last long as everyone understands how it can end.
