Title: US Government Vs. Chinese Government and their impact on prices Post by: keithers on April 01, 2014, 01:31:24 AM We all know that the recent attempts by various government agencies around the world to put a clamp on bitcoin has affected the prices pretty drastically. I'm curious as to your guys opinion on which government's actions have the largest affect on prices.
Obviously China and United States are the big two in regards to laws and restrictions that could massively help or hurt the bitcoin ecosystem. Which do you think has a larger influence on prices in the short and long term? Title: Re: US Government Vs.

He said that a lot of the Chinese government has been stocking up on BTC while simultaneously making more and more restrictive guidelines. He said that this has been happening for quite some time.
Once they feel that they have a large enough holding and feel that they can control the market enough, he feels they will back off on the regulations. |
