Why are we talking about China again?
Quite right, forget about China (the biggest BTC market in the world). Drawingthesun, tell us something else you are worried about. There must be more.  |

why are Chinese billionaires more likely to invest in BTC than any other nation?
China is embracing BTC like no other country. The government have all but backed it. The 'Chinese ebay' is accepting BTC for some sellers. The Chinese are huge savers. China has the largest BTC exchange in the world. The Chinese economy is awash with 'new money' held by young forward thinking Billionaires who are more likely to trust crypto-currencies than old-school Western money that is more traditional in it's investment choice. That is only a short list, why are you so dismissive? +1. Suggesting that the chinese are not enthusiastic about bitcoin is ridiculous. It would imply that either btcchina exchange statistics are falsified or bitcoin is being purchased in massive quantities by random non-chinese holders of yuan - neither is likely. But really, what's the point here? That we should have the website in chinese? If so, then I'm all for that. Arguing about the reason for the rise in price is not on topic. *edited for grammar and content |

There a lot of statistics and data in the article I put up a link to.
'The Diplomat.....international current-affairs magazine for the Asia-Pacific region. Since its launch in 2002'
It's from this year too, and you can see the source. Unlike your 14 year old chart with no known source. (snigger)
End of contact. Nothing you say is valid, or has any worth, just endless attempts at mockery and I'm not in the playground anymore. Unlike you, you sad sad little man.

I've had enough of China too. I only brought up the Winklevoss prediction and tried to work out part of the journey towards this 400Bill Market cap to steer the thread into a bit of positive talk for a bit. Didn't really work. (exasperated) Every second person on here knows better than you do it seems - and they aren't afraid to tell you.  |

Lol, let the buthurt flow through you. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gini_coefficientC'mon crumbs...you're flat out on the wrong side of this argument. Why the f do you get such a kick out of trolling? That cheerleader in your avatar isn't really cheering for you... Chinese are savers - over 50% unlike Americans Chinese like doing business in cash since they don't trust banks or their gov't btcchina exchange volumes are immense CCTV has put on 5 part educational shows on bitcoin - that essentially means that the gov't wants citizens to use it Anyway, the only point to discussing Chinese interest in BTC is the market for ActM to sell mining equipment. Everything else belongs in another thread. *yes - I responded to crumbs and I hate myself, a little* |

Back on topic - we should explore temporary listing on Havelock - a good exchange that is trying to future proof

Thats a waste of Ken's time. The SEC will contact them and it will be shutdown to US investors. Lets just go with direct shares. If someone wants to make a pass through then they can. Let Ken get the miners hashing instead of managing the shares. |

Thanks for sharing. I always liked this guy. Pretty disappointed in Schiff's take on BTC, but it totally makes sense since Schiff is a huge gold-bug, and BTC is on track to compete with gold as an alternative to fiat. |

I don't know much about this guy Peter Schiff but if you go to his 'slick' website you get a popup inviting you to take out a $70 a year subscription to his audio material. Now if the guy is supposed to be such an authority on all things stock related then why can't he trade and invest his way to financial demi-god status? He clearly can't get the results he want's from personal or public (his broker service) investment so he needs to sell his BS views to gullible club members - views which earn him nothing in the real world.
Why is he reduced to selling $70 memberships to his members club? The answer is he has no substance, no success in the markets, he's nothing but a salesman. If he backed Bitcoin I'd be much more worried.
OK just found this, looks like I'm not far off the mark, From the wiki page about him-
In January 2009, economic blogger and investment adviser Michael Shedlock wrote: "I have talked with many who claim they have invested with Schiff and are down anywhere from 40% to 70% in 2008"

Not a P. Schiff fan myself either but pretty much everybody was down 40-50% if not way more in 2008... |

Fair point, but he's supposed to be the guy who foretold of the coming economic crisis from 2005 through 2007 and beyond. Seems like he's been predicting hyperinflation since 2009-10, still waiting on that one 4 years in. Edit - S+P was down almost 40% in 2008 but for hedge funds 20% was the average. Hedge Funds in general finished 2008 -18.3%, compared to S&P -37%.http://www.marketfolly.com/2009/01/2008-hedge-fund-performance-numbers.html |

The machines are priced in fiat, so the promise is in fiat. This is a bad promise. What if Bitcoin price crashes? (maybe not now, but few years from now; after all it crashed from $30 to $1 in 2011... who knows?) Don't promise anything, as it is unwise for the mining company to take any such risks. |
