The West is selling ... their bitcoins because there is nothing left for sale and they need to eat something. The only thing West still produces is Western values.
And food. The west produces food. In abundance. The rest of the world needs to eat something. Educate yourself, Westerner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InediaI'll read it when I need a laugh. I scanned as far as 'Roscrucians', and could go no farther. Yeah, you're just not open to shifting paradigms and thinking disruptively. The Truths of the Order of the Rosy Cross are more powerful than bioth your beetcoin and BBQcoin put together. It makes perfect sense that you can survive on sunlight and no water! More sense than wealth magically created by Chinese turning electricity into heat. Different strokes, I guess  |

ELI5 how debasing yuan counters the anti-dumping tax?
it strengthens US dollar = shit for stocks + makes exports more expensive imports cheaper. if exports are more expensive it means less foreign currency flowing in and more flowing out. singapore is an interesting exception to the rule, being the only island city state in the world: tiny with little capacity to produce physical goods, they have to import a shit lot and cant export much so a strong currency actually suits them quiet well cos it makes imports cheap and exports expensive. its vice versa to the US and china. it makes labor more expensive in the US too, basically exporting jobs to, guess where, china, where it just got cheaper to produce goods. edit: it doesnt so much counter the tax,, its more like a big "fuck you i can play dirty too" "best change your tone or shits guna go south for you quick" I'm not following. Ignoring your Singapore tangent, how is devaluing the yuan "make labor more expensive in the US"? And you do know that US minimal wage is far better than Chinese average wage, so which jobs would they be stealing that they ain't already got? Not seeing much of a "fuck you" there, to be honest. |

And food. The west produces food. In abundance. The rest of the world needs to eat something. How did they feed themselves before globalization? Not well? Well enough to survive to the present day and be a pest. Not sure I understand. Should we stop selling food to the pests? But they make us our iPhones for next to nothing? |

this is guna get quite interesting. the buying is obviously a direct result of china, but why? devaluation of the yuan right? right. thing is it was devalued as a direct result of, and retaliation to the US' 450% inport tax on certain metals.

Maybe people will just buy a little less child porn, so tx demand would drop and miners will have to drop their fees a little bit? Or do you think bath salts enthusiasts would start buying bath salts more often?

On top of that, western businesses are bloated compared to how lean Chinese businesses do their work. "Let's open some fancy offices that cost a million bucks, hire 3-4 secretaries for eye candy paying them 100-150k, hire a PR firm another 200-400k, hire a legal firm or a bunch of lawyers for another half a million etc etc.
Paying western minimal wage is a part of "etc., etc."? |

Serious question: Our Bitcoin committee is trying to decide which of Bitcoin's twin greatest minds -- r0ach or JJG -- to nominate for the coveted Nobel Brain Prize in Smartitude.
Frankly, we're torn. Our complicated and pricey laboratory apparata has failed to conclusively differentiate, via rigorous application of scientific methods and procedures, the greater of the two minds, due to them both being so ginormously huge.
Our team is tempted to nominate them both, but we worry: Would forcing two sovereign individuals [who are not gay] to share this, the highest of accolades, dilute and/or cheapen the experience for them?
Thoughts?

Spain arrests 30 suspected of laundering money in bitcoin centers
Many wow, they seize an amount of Bitcoin equal to robbing a gas station: "They did not say how much money had been laundered through the bitcoin mining operation but added they had for now seized 31,320 euros ($34,903) worth of the currency as well as ca$h  , motorbikes and luxury cars and a small aircraft ." Fiat currencies such as the USD and Yuan will now crash from them auctioning off "a small aircraft". Why would they store their precious bodily fluids value in rapidly depreciating, illiquid assets like btcoins? Not all criminals are crazy/stupid, you know .  |
