Where are the Chinese?

[gadman2]

Damn, you're right. Just where ARE the Chinese? You never really see them when you leave the house. I guess the world just needs more Chinese ppl. Maybe give them incentives to reproduce more

Lol at all the idiots recently talking about Chinese people as some kind of minority. I don't think people understand that Chinese are the -majority-, and everything else is the minority. They don't have slanted eyes; you have big googly eyes. Most people are not ready to admit that China will become the pioneer country, leading the world in most standards. Get used to it.

China always make 1-2 step forward they do an action, they have high motivation with businesses which they can get profit. That's the point I like China ppl they do something with seriously and high motivation. They not  run with SIG campaign only lol

I've heard that a large percentage of the Bitcoin community is in China.

Now, it does seem like there are quite a few Chinese people associated with cryptos. For example, there is Charles Lee who created Litecoin and his brother Bobby Lee who owns BTC China. There is also Bter which is located in China. The Chinese language board is also quite active here too, although strangely there are more Russians posting in the Russian board than Chinese in the Chinese board. It also seems that a lot of mining hashrate is located in China (link) and much of the trading that goes on in exchanges happens there too.

But looking at the list of names of people associated with Bitcoin, there doesn't seem to be many Chinese names at all:

Well even if you don't see them, you just know they are there. Probably they are more active in chinese based forum and that is why you don't see them here. Remembered that I saw a chart that says china based exchangers actually account for more than 90% of the trading activities. If that is what I saw.

The Chinese are around, involved in many projects.
I have no doubt about the ability of the Chinese to produce, and I do not doubt at any time than they are able.
If I'm not mistaken, today 54% of Bitcoins is mined in China (correct me if I'm wrong).

If you still don't understand where are the Chinese, you still don't understand Bitcoins.
I doubt Satoshi was himself a Chinese as they were the first ones to adopt the cryptocurrencies and give it the volume it needed.
