Title: Great news everyone! Bitcoin NOT banned in China! Post by: impulse on April 01, 2014, 09:04:49 PM http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/latest/china-clamps-down-on-bitcoin/story-e6frg90f-1226871648275
Quote One of the people familiar with the latest directive said that the central bank does not intend to ban bitcoin trading in China, and said the move is to "enforce what was already said in the December document." That document had said bitcoin is not a currency with "real meaning" and does not have the same legal status as a currency, but that the public is free to buy and sell bitcoin online provided that they accept the risk.

Title: Re: Great news everyone! Bitcoin NOT banned in China! Post by: right wing authoritarian on April 02, 2014, 04:17:51 AM I am not Chinese but I study finance with many young Chinese and they mention Bitcoin.
Things to note In China everyone is looking for alternative assets of which Bitcoin in one. In China there is a massive shadow banking sector, Chinese are used to working around regulation. It is common in China for central authorities to move into the private sector for the advantage of connected individuals. China won't ban Bitcoin but may only allow certain people to profit from any trade. There is significant arbitrage between Bitcoin in China and other countries (there is usually no arbitrage opportunity between the RMB price and the AUD price for instance once transaction cost is taken into account). This indicates that there is no effective ban at the moment because any ban would change the price such that there seemed to be an arbitrage opportunity (which would not be real because of the cost of circumventing the ban). Do I know the exact situation in China? No. Does it seem to be ok at the moment? Yes. Title: Re: Great news everyone! Bitcoin NOT banned in China!

It's in the OP of this thread. Title: Re: Great news everyone! Bitcoin NOT banned in China! Post by: BitOnyx on April 02, 2014, 11:02:11 AM But in all articles for awhile now people point out that report about ban of bitcoin was false and that it was more just another regulation of bitcoin then actual ban.

Like I said in the other thread: Not really, I think China just doesn't want their banks anywhere near these crypto exchanges because if the exchanges go rogue like Mt. Gox, there's just too much drama and paperwork. Until the crypto exchanges have demonstrated sufficient maturity, I doubt any bank anywhere would want to work with them. http://www.law360.com/classaction/articles/522182/japanese-bank-denies-aiding-alleged-mt-gox-fraud The Chinese are free to trade cryptos as they see fit, however, they will be limited by the I think US$50000 yearly limit their government allows them to remit to overseas exchanges/banks. If they have more than US$50000 per year they want to remit, I'm sure they've already got mechanisms in place to do so. |
