Title: What's the real situation with China?
Post by: pinksheep on April 27, 2014, 11:11:31 PM
When you take away all the FUD, what exactly is the situation regarding BTC in China? Can the average Chinese person still buy it or have the regulations pretty much stifled that? Furthermore, is China's involvement really necessary for bitcoin's future success?

Bitcoin is not country specific. So any specific country has no advantage at Bitcoin. But China has the largest population on earth. So they can create a lot of demand for Bitcoin that takes the price forward. But as Africa and other countries are joining in, China's demand creation ability will be nullified soon.

yes, I could use google translate but I'd probably get more FUD. Of course, I might get it here too  ;D

This is not a company getting involved in a business. This is public adoption ...takes time.

I know it takes time & I can't see mass adoption anytime soon, so when I read these threads saying we'll be at $10,000 by Christmas & $100,000 at the end of 2015, I just don't know how that's going to happen. Of course, the price could go up in anticipation of wider adoption. In fact, I'd imagine that's what took it to over $1200 last year.

And do you think that China's position on BTC will change as it sees many other countries getting involved? Would it fear being left behind?

China has strict capital control ,ie. people can't take the money out of the country freely.
So it is not a surprise to see the government fear of bitcoin, and not allowing Chinese people to buy and sell bitcoin easily. :)

Everything in China has not been fixed.
But some news reported Bitcoin and Altcoin will lose RMB supply from all banks.
