I don't think that this is the very reason to shutdown ICO and closed its local exchanges. Its more deep rooted as I speculate. Its probably that bitcoin has really threatening Yuan and they have to do something about it. I don't think that they just want to appease the Communist Politburo.


I have to disagree with this. Bitcoin economy is booming in China. You could look at the sheer number of trading volumes per 24 hours, so its not that small to really not affect their economy. They need to move fast to stop all of this before its too late.

Well, let's see if this just just a temporary in nature and they will made a U-turn to let everything back to normal once more. But I seriously doubt though. We already withstand the test of not having China at our back so its better be like that.

I'm not sure what world people are living in to still believe that China is a communist nation.  They literally support private property in their Constitution, saying:

They do still claim to be a socialist state but based on the fact that there is a very significant private sector, this is simply false.

The trading volume has risen because people are now trading frantically with the intention of leaving their exchanges before they close down.  This is not ordinary trading volume.

Even at current rates, it's not enough to have a particularly significant effect on their economy.

The information is too general and not specific to draw its conclusions. It is possible that all of these prohibitions in China are related to the forthcoming party conference and soon all prohibitions will be removed and China, as before, will again return to the crypto currency market, which it almost lost.

If China stops to manipulate the market, then some kind of arcing country will do it. This is a regularity. Where there will be the largest number of miners, from there will come the manipulation

China illegal initial coin offerings (ICOs) earlier in the week in a very move to stop concealment and prohibited activities.
ICOs enable organizations to lift investment by commercialism new cryptocurrencies, that square measure kind of like bitcoin.
China’s forbiddance of initial coin offerings for brand new digital currencies could stop scams and improve the market however these ICOs square measure considerably here to remain.

ICOs enable organizations to lift investment by commercialism new cryptocurrencies, kind of like bitcoin, reciprocally for money or different established digital currencies. However, the People’s Bank of China dominated earlier in the week that the apply, that has become standard round the world, similarly as in China, constitutes prohibited fundraising.

Around $1.78 billion has been raised through ICOs since 2014, in line with knowledge from the CoinDesk ICO hunter. However, a serious issue is that several ICOs can be scams, with no hope of backers receiving a come on their investment.

“There’s no secret that plenty of the initial coin offerings, with ads on Facebook promising vast discounts and returns, square measure nothing however a scam,” aforementioned Sasha Ivanov, corporate executive of [Suspicious link removed]pany Waves, in associate degree email.

“The Chinese government might deal with those firms operating in a very shadow zone of the law, however they need finally lost patience, as additional and additional firms tried to lift millions for nothing.”

Ivanov says the move are useful for the business, and predicts that regulated ICOs are allowed in China within the future.

One company littered with the ban is on-line disposal platform Blackmoon Crypto. It recently raised over $9 million in associate degree ICO pre-sale. the corporate has currently halted its planned promotional activity inside China. it’ll additionally disallow Chinese voters half|participating|collaborating} in its token sale on Sept twelve and can refund voters UN agency took part within the pre-sale.

“Blackmoon Crypto can still take terribly seriously all initiatives of worldwide regulators and can suits the upheld necessities. As knowledgeable within the business, we tend to welcome the cleansing of the market from scrupulous participants and square measure able to collaborate with regulators,” aforementioned the company’s corporate executive Oleg Seydak in associate degree email.

The purpose of ICOs

Part of the matter regulators could have is that ICOs cowl a good vary of activities, in line with Linus Lindgren, strategic capitalist and adviser at BTCXIndia.

“One facet of the spectrum would be to sell components of future revenue of an organization via issued tokens to investors UN agency look to invest within the worth of such tokens. the opposite facet of the spectrum can be charities provision ‘thank you’ tokens in exchange for donations. In between, there square measure many sorts and mixes of those,” he told CNBC via email on weekday.

“The discussion to be had now’s wherever on the ‘token spectrum’ regulators can draw the road, and wherever and the way these activities ought to be regulated.”

The move by China received mixed reactions. Cryptocurrencies fell on the move because it created negative market sentiment. Bitcoin hit a coffee of $4,037 on Tues however has recovered to around $4,500 on weekday.

Some, like David Moskowitz, co-founder and corporate executive of blockchain-powered social network Indorse, welcome the move as the way to shield customers from fallacious ICOs.

“We hope the authorities can acknowledge the potential of the world for economic process and technological development, and enact rules which can afford the safe and secure way forward for the business,” he aforementioned in associate degree press statement.

Others were additional skeptical, citing that the ban could lead on to competition with different countries that square measure additional hospitable for ICOs.

“Some governments and incumbents can try and finish off this movement, and are available to unreasonable extremes so as to try and do therefore. However, due to the web and cryptography, there is not any going back,” aforementioned Luis Cuende, co-founder and project lead at blockchain developer Aragon, in associate degree email.

“Eventually, another governments can embrace token sales and crypto normally, making territorial competition, and forcing the incumbents to be affordable.”

I do not understand why Chinese should prohibit cryptocurrencies. Nearly 50% of global capacity for the mining of the coins is concentrated in China. They are investments which have great growth prospects. Who would abandon the gold Creek? It seems to me that all these rumors are fake.

Well, just my two cents. I think the ban may be temporary in the sense that the market volatility will dictate the terms of how the Chinese government will go about the existence of BTC. But then again, China is the ultimate economy nowadays that it can variably dictate on how the market works. We must remember how strong China's economy is. It can affect both high and low-income generating economies because majority of States depend on China for goods, labor, and etc. Thus, we have to await on the changing circumstances.   

If we agree that Bitcoin markets are full of insider trading and that most events get priced in before they become known to the public, that just by looking at current price one can deduce that some bullish news might be coming soon, as the price very quickly rebounded from the drop caused by China. Legalization and regulation of exchanges seem to make sense, as China has a very strong position because of miners and miner manufacturers and it would be a waste to ban Bitcoin - instead they can try to monitor and control it by controlling exchanges.
