May 25, 2017 by Jon Southurst Maybe you were excited at $2,400 yesterday. Or even $2,600 later in the day. While all that was happening, a Chinese over-the-counter (OTC) exchange recorded its first 20,000+ RMB bitcoin trade. That’s about $2,900 USD. The record trade of ¥20,107 happened at 4:06AM on 25th May (China time) on BitKan’s OTC exchange. It’s significant for two reasons: the high price, and the changing nature of bitcoin trading in China. Shortly after the first above-20,000 trade, the price dropped to around 16,000 RMB ($2,320) but has been rising since. Over-the-counter trading means users trade directly with each other, rather than on an exchange. BitKan’s system has similarities to an exchange, offering a trading platform with charts — but it still matches individual sellers with individual buyers. They usually use electronic payments like WeChat or PayPal to move fiat funds, so users don’t have to be in the same physical location. If you sell a bitcoin to a friend, that’s technically an over-the-counter trade. Some brokers can arrange such off-exchange trades worth millions of dollars. Reasons for trading OTC mainly include convenience, speed, privacy. As mentioned here previously, a sizeable amount of China’s bitcoin trade is moving to OTC markets thanks to recent crackdowns on online, centralized exchanges. BitKan’s platform now has over 500 traders, and a total 50,000 OTC exchange users. Reasons for Surge in OTC and Other TradingIn a Chinese article recently, BitKan said this is also causing prices in OTC markets to soar. “Because the major bitcoin exchange platforms have been banned from processing withdrawals by the Chinese supervision department, a lot of bitcoin traders have moved to OTC trading. Compared to the depression in spot market, the OTC price is rapidly rising at the same time. Because traders can buy actual bitcoins OTC.”BitKan CEO Yang Liu added there were three main factors worldwide driving up the bitcoin price, whether on-exchange or off. The WannaCry malware attacks are actually helping, by drawing attention to bitcoin and forcing many to buy. Since it first appeared, BitKan’s monthly new-user acquisition has risen tenfold. New favorable regulation in both Japan and Australia are also helping. On the other hand, political instability in South Korea is also boosting price — and OTC trades. The last factor is the new Bitcoin Scaling Agreement out of New York City this week. While bitcoin was definitely on the move before the agreement happened, the prospect of finally solving problems like 200,000 stuck transactions in May could bring money out of altcoins and back into bitcoin again. Do you trade on exchanges or some other way? We’d like to hear your thoughts. http://bitsonline.com/china-first-otc-20000rmb/ |

“The bull market is back. Bitcoin price is rising up everyday.” That’s the recent status of Bitcoin. In China, Bitcoin price was around ￥6,300 a month ago(April 25th). Today (May 25th), the price went up to ￥18,488. Started from May 15th, Bitcoin price has encountered 10% daily rise. On the other hand, the OTC price, take Bitkan for example, has reached ￥20,000 at 4am May 25th 2017. The first transaction over ￥20,000 had been made at ￥20,107. According to Bitkan, because of the major Bitcoin exchange platforms have been banned from withdraw by the PBOC, a lot of Bitcoin traders have moved to OTC trading. Compare to the depression in spot market, the OTC price is rapidly rising at the same time. That is the only way for now, buying and withdrawing Bitcoin in China.  Bitkan bitcoin OTC transaction price(Up to May 25th 2017) Source: Bitkan About the price booming, Yang Liu(CEO of Bitkan) indicates that there are 3 major causes: 1) Effect of the WANNA CRY ransom ware: mainstream media report have drawn public attention to Bitcoin, which led a lot of people to take part in Bitcoin investment. According to Bitkan’s data, it is greeting its 10 times increase of new user monthly acquisition. New users to Bitcoin, on one hand they focus on the Bitcoin price, on the other hand, they exchange Bitcoins through Bitkan’s OTC module or hedge between global markets.  Daily new user acquisition of Bitkan(March 2017 — May 2017) Source: Bitkan 2) Benefits from the favorable policies: the Japanese government has identified Bitcoin as currency in April, the Australian government is going to admit Bitcoin as currency in the coming July. On the other hand, demand surge in Japan and political instability in Korean is also driving the Bitcoin price to rise, especially the OTC price. 3) Segwit has been reviewed in the Consensus 2017 this week. Segwit is looking forward to be activated in this September. For recent couple years, Bitcoiners are suffering from the blockchain network congestion. There were 200,000 unconfirmed transactions on blockchain network in May this year. A lot of users couldn’t bear the inconvenience of congestion so that they turn to invest altcoins. Segwit’s being reviewed has rebuilt the confidence on Bitcoiners’ long-term investment. |

BTC price ebbs and flows, like the waves of the sea. It swells with passion and exhilaration, and then wanes, and all of a sudden it rises again! Skyrocket all the way up to 1760 dollars per BTC.

Ouch, it’s still rising!  3, John Doe the Newbie John Doe: It’s said that 1 out of 3 clients experienced forced liquidation? A: not me. B: me neither. John Doe: ......  4, Peter Smith the Broker “The broker next door lost his voice when arguing on the phone all day!” “Meh, I typed so hard that I wore off my fingerprints.”  5, Lee the Miner I don’t care what’s been going on as long as I got my mining machine.

I'm glad they finally at it,Japan is a technology giant with their full acceptance of Bitcoin I'm sure they will innovate and invite usage of Bitcoin,I think a lot of great things will come out in Japan in terms of bitcoin usage I doubt if they will set up a mining company they would set up applications and products that they are going to sell to bitcoin users.
Yep, there is a news that you could use bitcoin in supermarket in Japan now! Really great experience ! |

Yea, we also had a guy who paid $150 for a beer at a local pub when he got a bit tipsy and there will be people who would exploit this. This is no different for any other currency, because you can do the same with cash or credit cards. What you can do, is to use a separate wallet for "social" nights.... Just transfer enough for the night before you go out. This will prevent scrupulous bar men to clear your Bitcoin balance.  Wow！$150 is really a large amount just for a beer ! Keep your bitcoin in your pocket.  |

Maybe you could  |

Just transfer enough for the night before you go out. This will prevent scrupulous bar men to clear your Bitcoin balance. BitKan App could contain some reference pricings in a database and popup an alert if figures don't fit. That would be the modern way to do. Easy on beer. But.. I would not tell any App anything about what I am trying to buy or rent (Kimonos are out of question here) and many users might feel similar concerns regarding their privacy. Great suggestion! I'm also think about the privacy problems, only in the world that we don't use 3rd part and only pay each other with our address QR code, then no one will get my information in anyway. Your bank is stealing your information somehow. who knows. |

Anyway, we should keep it in mind that the exchange rate might not be fair, and Visa or MasterCard is still a better choice.
It's a bit unfortunate that price might be manipulated because of fast changing exchange rate. What would be a fair exchange rate for Bitcoin anyway, is there even something like fair price? Maybe the price based on our trust. |

i think people realized already that they can live on bitcoin, but the point is that until their government accept it as a currency they are not going to risk possible task evasion and all the other unsecurity that come by using it in fact you see by the time the japan government accepted it the masses which is what matter, started to use it more btw that girl had 1000 btc, imply that japan are buying en mass, which is nice boost tot he value, they are probably leading the market right now I'm glad this experience wasn't one of those "no, I must only spend directly from Bitcoin to Bitcoin" types of deals that others have done only to conclude that Bitcoin is difficult to spend.
Living on Bitcoin means having bitcoins and spending them. Even if you need to go through third party services.
I imagine if someone were to do an experiment of "I'm only going to spend dollars" and use actual cash they would experience more limited options. Some places in the US do not accept cash anymore.
yes but i can't see the reason to use third party you can easily use bitcoin with only your core client, you can scan qr code from there and pay anyone like the girld did It's easy to pay directly using BTC because you trust each other and trust in bitcoin, if you wanna pay any stranger, make be 3rd part like visa card is much acceptable. |

Yep, through 3rd party to make BTC much more easier to use is the best way to let people use BTC. We don't need everyone understand it then trust it then use it, it's difficult. But we could let people in the world to find a better way to pay and exchange, and finally they realized that that's BTC |

Yep! We hope it will getting easier and easier for people to use bitcoin |

Finally, the Japanese government accepted bitcoin as a legal payment!BTCWant some insights or a quick guide into how bitcoin works as a currency in Tokyo? What kind of products and services we can buy using bitcoinsBTC? What app should we choose to trade bitcoins? Or even how’s the Sakura going on under the landmark Tokyo Tower? Yes, way too many questions! Therefore, we invite Ruby as our Tokyo bitcoin guide to help you discover more about Bitcoin & the City.
Just by watching the video below!  If you couldn't open the video, just click the link here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfJG6iVeRfIorhttps://www.facebook.com/bitkanofficial/videos/1826169514312062/In case you don’t have Wi-Fi now and neither do you have an unlimited data plan, we have prepared a quick preview for you: Ruby from BitKan which is a very aggressive and professional Bitcoin agency, in a city full of innovation and wonders, discovering every single possibility of our beloved Bitcoin, this whole thing could totally appeal to you. And to add spice to this documentary, she accepted our challenge of living in Tokyo only by bitcoins for 72 hours! As soon as it began, she rushed to her favorite place in town, which of course is the National Museum... no way, just kidding! It’s a bar. Ruby rushed to a bar in broad daylight! But, drinking is just like marriage, you need to choose the right timing! 5 o’clock in the afternoon is of course not a good time for getting drunk. Maybe that’s why this bar won’t open until 8 pm.  Still, nothing could stop Ruby to get a taste of Tokyo nightlife. She made the second charge into that bar, and this time she succeeded.  But how to pay in bitcoins after you get a little bit tipsy? There are two methods for you, so please stay sober and read on:  1, By using a Third-party Bitcoin Payment app. Some apps in Japan could ensure the instant transfer of currency by using third-party payment, and the rate will be automatically calculated. This actually is as quick and easy as WeChat Pay, only in bitcoins. For instance, Ruby this time used CoinCheck to pay her bills. All she needed to do is scan the QR code and press “confirm”! 2, By discussing the rate with the merchant and transfer bitcoins with BitKan app. This method is widely used among small merchants. For instance, when Ruby was renting a Kimono, the shop keeper decided his own rate.  5000 Yen (around 50 USD) = 0.5 BTC!!!!!!!!!
(You must be kidding me! I will give you 500 USD for 5 BTC please!) OK, it turned out that the shopkeeper was not that good with numbers. And it should be 0.05 BTC. Anyway, we should keep it in mind that the exchange rate might not be fair, and Visa or MasterCard is still a better choice.  (obviously Ruby doesn’t care about the exchange rate at all! Stay happy, girl!)
Q: How many dollars did Ruby pay in Bitcoin to rent the Kimono?
LEAVE YOUR ANSWER and YOUR IMPRESSION OF VIEW on the comment, leave your BitKan ID number, you will get a surprise!
