It's the only Bitcoin ETN and that's the only place to buy it.

But it's probably executing client orders, not their own.

I think it's around 50 years too early for any regional or national government to protect themselves with BTC. I don't think it's too clever to bet the wages of hundreds of thousands of public sector workers on a few manipulators on piece of shit exchanges.

All they're doing is probably buying on behalf of clients through their regular platforms. They may not like it, but they do like the fees and it's a legit option on a legit market. 

One market is alive. The other is soon to be dead. I'll assume the living market is the relevant one.

Can you apologise to me for using up my valuable bandwidth with your watery pop shots of FUD and brain injury level of psyops?

Once you've done that then others may seek your forgiveness.

Chinese mouths are too small for that type of thing. I know to my cost.

They'll have OTC deals in place and if not OTC markets will continue to operate.

It's a shame. The death of Chinese mining would be far more beneficial than the death of Chinese markets, though that's pretty good stuff too.

So far people sold the rumour and sold the news. I don't think that's going to change in the short term.

Buy high, sell low?

I have analysed this strategy and concluded that money will be lost. This is not the preferred aim.

It took over three years for people who bought in late 2013 to be in the green. I doubt it'll take that long this time but anyone who bought in recently should be prepared for a wait. No direction continues unbroken forever, that includes down as well as up.

Within the next 24 hours it's more than likely that Okcoin and Huobi will be toast too. I don't think a bounce will be forthcoming during that.

You were extremely stupid to believe anything written here. You were extremely stupid to suggest it to her. She was even more stupid to follow through on it.

That's if any of it actually happened of course.

Wow. Can't wait.

Is it sneaking into your bed at night and putting its fingers in your knickers? If not then you may as well let it do its thing.

Death is now walking with you. Accept it and put your affairs in order.

I wonder why the PBOC prick teased their people. They could've done an orderly shutdown instead of reopening them earlier this year.

It's a hard fork. That's how it was designed from minute one. It can't be adopted smoothly unless every single node abandons Core and follows this. That's impossible.

If it happens it makes a chain split inevitable. Many, many people are not going to follow software not put out by Core which is what 2X is forcing. That'll devalue both chains and put the smaller one in danger of losing massive mining power.

Finally. I have seen others mentioning OKcoin and Huobi will stay open. I wonder what the deal is with that or whether it's just more bilge.

If there's a huge disparity between exchanges it's either closed rapidly, as in seconds or minutes, by people who can arbitrage, or there's some type of problem that means it's impossible to successfully arbitrage.

That could mean a wallet closure, volume so low that any significant buys or sells would distort the price even more, restriction to a certain country or other stuff.

Everyone likes free money. No one leaves it on the table. If it's staying on the table then there's a clear reason for it.

If you search for altcoin exchange script, or altcoin exchange software on google or github you might get a few results that are ready to roll. Whatever software turns up may still need a bit of work to fine tune though but you could at least experiment. Make sure it's open source.
