Title: Hong Kong lawmakers urge ban on bitcoin Post by: dataispower on February 11, 2015, 11:53:00 AM "The government should clamp down on bitcoin, said lawmakers Leung Yiu-chung and James To, who accompanied the complainants, among them Nepalese and mainland Chinese, as well as Hong Kong citizens.
"The government should not just stand aside," Leung told reporters.
