We don't 100% know if it is fake news or not, I am on the fence and think that there's not usually smoke without fire. Obviously it could be manipulation by someone trying to make money off the price, but two rumours in one week could mean that there is some fact behind it all.

• The author also stands by his claims and says that Caixin have seen a document.

"The requirement, which Caixin saw in a document the central bank's headquarters recently sent to regional offices, says money can be taken from the accounts before the deadline, but no deposits can be made. Banks that fail to close the accounts will be punished, the PBOC said, but it did not elaborate on what those punishments would be."

• This is further substantiated by the fact that last week PBOC dispelled the rumours

"The report by certain media that ‘PBOC has issued a document as of 3/18, requesting all bitcoin transactions be halted by 4/15′ is in error. The attitude of the PBOC towards bitcoin has been clearly stated by the [5th December] document issued by the PBOC and five other agencies.”"

however this time we haven't (to my knowledge, correct me if i am wrong) seen anything from them.

Was the same on Friday, even when confirmation came out, things didn't "pick up" until later on in the day (https://www.tradingview.com/v/rO1xsK4F/). This time is a little bit more ambiguous, there is no 100% confirmation that this information is false and as a result I personally think that things will take a little longer.

When China's central bank come out and give definitive advice on the legality.

It's not just Bitcoin though, here's another example of "Chinese whispers"

One of mine did this once, I turned everything off, left it for 5 minutes not connected to a power source, then removed the cables connecting the boards to the controller. Turned it on, it started up fine, then I just re uploaded the firmware, shut it down, reconnected the cables and rebooted. Seemed to do the trick

Akbar speaks sense.

Signed up today and had a look at it, platform seems really nice and professional. Not traded on it yet, but plan to soon.

Regardless of the above, from looking on their forums it appears that Plan B will likely not happen now. No official word though, so take it all with a pinch of salt.

If that is true, it's potentially very good news.

Exactly my point here, if you look at the video date and when the bank supposedly sent out their memo, it's like he's got himself on the TV as he knew a drop was incoming.

Hahaha, great idea, though I am not too comfortable running a 10K machine with something i've wired myself

Nice use of  your resellerid there.

What does Foundry stage mean? I wish they would update on power specs, I have a lot of Neptunes coming my way and really want to begin ordering in PSUs
