The mass exodus has already begun, as millions go back to their homes for the celebration.   These next couple of days will be quiet, as people complete their journeys.   The first day or two of the actual holiday will also be quiet, since most families will have huge banquets and festivities and lots of fireworks at night.

I would say after day 3 of the holiday, those that have an interest in BTC will be breaking out their computers or iPads and logging in, or more likely, showing the rest of the family how it works.

The holiday last 7 days, but often people need an additional day or two to complete their return journeys.   Normal market activity in China should resume by about the 9th day of the new lunar year.

BTW, I am not Chinese, but I have lived in Beijing almost 9 years (it's what the BJ in my name stands for) and I am married to a Chinese girl.   So I am not an authority, but I do have some experience.

Will do.

Not too bad, given relatively little marketing of the event beforehand.

Hi all,

we had a meet up on Wednesday.   3 people turned up, with 2 others saying they couldn't make it.

Next meeting Thursday evening at or near Surin beach.   Will post a message soon as we have selected a venue.

Fair enough. Only decided yesterday, but depending on numbers, will make it a regular event.

Cheers,

Paul.
