Here is a good article explaining the protests:  https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/aug/13/what-do-the-hong-kong-protesters-want

I remember the fall of the Soviet Union.  

It is possible that Hong Kong will be the spark that tips over the Chinese Communist Party. Especially if the protests spread to Taiwan and Macau. 

China is not in the same situation as Soviet Russia was economically or politically based on my very cursory and casual reading of the news, I'd be very surprised if China doesn't get a handle on this. I'll go read that article, thanks for sharing.

How do you know in what situation they are?
Getting handle on this?
I am surprised that US is not supporting Hk all the way.
What happened to pro-democracy stance?


I don't think the end of the Soviet Union has a lot of parallels with the current HK crisis. China is not a bankrupt oligarchy with a large unhappy population. The US should support HK's pro democracy push, but I seriously doubt this will be the spark that brings down Communist China.

Hong Kong Activist Leader Calls For A Run On Chinese Banks Tomorrow
The shit is hitting the fucking fan. That's what happening in HK.
Tomorrow will be a good day.
This should be interesting, but won't the state run banks just close? China is a dictatorship at the end of the day no matter how they try to wrap it.

I'd tend to agree but it will be interesting to watch.

I really had no clue this shit had gotten so bad, i was under the impression china had a hands off policy on HK. Apparently thats bullshit and after alot of googling and watching youtube vids I still have no clue whats going on there. I thought HK was the Golden Goose, is china trying to kill it?


Seriously if anyone can explain wtf is going on or link something that doesn't take a day of research to wade through that will sum up what the deal is, post it please.

If the communist party in China falls and we see the ultimate and final "China Unbans Bitcoin" we will soar to 100k in a matter of months Cheesy

I was too young to know what was going on in Tiananmen Square when it happened and I think the media brainwashed me as a child to just remember some guy standing on a tank. I was reading up on it the other day and holy shit, I didnt know the commies killed 2500 to 10k protestors  Angry

Fuck these cunts, I hope the CIA sends lots of weapons and advisors to Hong Kong. Im usually with my future ex wife Tulsi Gabbard on avoiding regime change but not when its an antibitcoin regime, then I go full hypocrite Cheesy

That was a long read - but it seems pretty to take a pretty reasonable approach.  They ain't gonna ban a thing, and Bitcoin and similar crypto currencies are not going to be regulated at all in themselves.

Nice spot, Globb0!

That makes sense, my auto-buy doesn't happen until tomorrow morning, so I'm guessing we'll be >$13k by then.

I'm old enough to remember watching the protesters on CNN with their lady liberty statue and such. I also remember one of the reporters pointing out that "this group's idea of democracy is not quite the same as the US idea of democracy".

In a way, that event happened not too long after the "Great Leap Forward" and the "Zeal" of the "Cultural Revolution". There was a lot of insanity in China at that time after Mao's death and the Gang of Four. One could posit that the new regime, having spent decades in "re-education camps" under Mao was not too thrilled at the idea of another "Revolution" and this time suppressed it brutally.

You do have to agree though that after the protests Mao and his remaining supporters were GONE. And China would like to keep them GONE. They will never admit error, but Mao and his people were not.... very.... good....

Something to think about.

Here is a link to someone who has gotten and Apple II Computer to mine Bitcoin!

(talk about dubious)

https://retroconnector.com/mining-bitcoin-on-an-apple-ii-a-highly-impractical-guide/

I started a thread and poll below, for others to post 'dubious' devices that can mine Bitcoin, despite any practical notion that this is wise in any way.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5175622.msg52162302#msg52162302

Feel free to add any 'quirky' devices on this thread.

(stuff to do) Smiley

later

Brad



This thread is awesome, some gems in it.
Mining by hand? Really? Or with a NES?

Worth a visit when not observing price...

Wow, China really is adept at censoring what their citizens see.

I feel like the Western media must have been influenced by China to somehow softly censor what happened, because I dont ever seen any mentions of actual deaths when American media talks about Tienanmen Square. Just  "human rights" or "tank man".

They glibly gloss over the thousands of murdered students every single time.

If those students had been illegal immigrants I suppose we would have nuked China already.
