China, Shmyna: Bitcoin Trading Is Way More Distributed Now AnywayWith all the panic selling following the Chinese government's renewed crackdown on bitcoin exchanges, it's important to remember that the country is no longer the trading hub it once was.
All else equal, that means the market may take less time to recover from the latest sell-off than from the one that took place in 2013 (you know, when the People's Bank of China suddenly declared that bitcoin was not a currency and ordered payment processors to stop accepting it).
Just a reminder of how bad the fallout from that that really was, during the three years it took bitcoin to recover from those bombshells, it lost nearly half its value, dropping from an all-time high of $1,150 to under $500.
