I don't shy away from conspiracy like theories since Snowden. Anyways, in a troubled country like China with many poor, kept ignorant, and bathed in pollution, a way to lift money without a connection to government may be desirable.

About 1-2 Billion could have been made, this is enough incentive. Remember those who have massive amounts of money have that much because 'a ton of money is enough' is not their mentality.

The point is it must have been relatively easy to accomplish this and per the value gained it must have been worth it.

The Chinese gov is far more centralized than the U.S. - it wouldn't be too hard to have regulators wait to make a cool billion. Remember the currency QQ? and China's capital controls? They wouldn't like Bitcoin normally, but are ok with making money. Hence the strict regulations now.

Let me remind of the famous NY Times article: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/26/business/global/family-of-wen-jiabao-holds-a-hidden-fortune-in-china.html

"...politically connected people have profited from being at the intersection of government and business as state influence and private wealth converge in China’s fast-growing economy."

You think if I had evidence I'd be posting here?

Just postulating what I think per human nature is most likely

Why not? for its value per effort ratio, its very lucrative

And of course the Gov is made of people who like money

After being wary of all those new Altcoin pump and dump twitter accounts, no one was looking in the other direction.

Lets take a moment to remember what those in power do: use that power.
With a dumbed down populace due to the great Firewall, throw some pro Bitcoin messages on the media, and buy up. When we've double topped, dump, and start the flow of bad press.

A simple yet brilliant plan at the same time.

Long time trader here,

Right now BTC is at a low and is going to start growing again. These hearings have been positive, and this means Altcoins will usually fall against BTC (but still rise in USD).

Even so their are some historically strong coins with active communities and specifications. If I were to invest into Altcoin I would diversify approximately this way:

25%MEC 20%DGC 15%ANC 25%LTC 7.5%PPC 7.5%XPM

Guaranteed to make profit, Likely even in BTC.

Good Luck

Litecoin is resting on its last support, a very long term one of .0085. Once this is broken we may see a freefall.

Excellent work, Dr. Kimoto and the community! This is why I keep coming back to Megacoin - An extremely competent and committed developer, and a super enthusiastic community.

As a trader, I decided to pick up some Megacoin because it is stabilizing during Bitcoin growth. MEC has a consistently strong supporting ecosystem so I will only be holding, versus selling during another BTC rise. Megacoin is definitely going places!

Gavin is definitely Pope - He's even wearing all white now

I think he'll be back after BTC is done rising, and altcoins have a chance

No idea
