The crazy and idiotic part of this all is that it is very likely China will come with some very bad news, that Chinese exchanges are dying, that everybody knows what's coming but still choose to follow China and will completely fucking panic if Huobi closes their doors.
Bitcoin traders...my god.
Well imho if the exchanges would just say enough already and inform china authorities and outside world they are "leaving china" ..at least a clear path would be shown...
imho always better to walk out the door yourself then be drag'd out...end the drama...clean break
of course such an announcement for the faint of heart could blow it up worse..but if i was running a china exchange I'd be decoupling out of the mainland fast
on a side question are they also (the china gov't) going after asci manufacturer's of btc equipment as well? imho china would have a pretty good shot
at panic/despair and hurting bitcoin if they went after the equipment makers as well..
it would be like fine....you can make the equipment but only can sell it via direct person to person bitcoin..no way to sell it via fiat
man that would suck
again i claim no knowledge on this just speculating how far will the china gov't go w/o saying outright ban
