Why would anyone in China still want to buy bitcoins when this announcement demonstrates there is little hope for them there?
AFAIK, there are no restrictions on who can create an account on BTCCHina.

We don't know whether the selloff was actually caused by Chinese traders.

Even if you can create a BTC-China account. You won't be able to withdraw to a chinese bank account anymore. That breaks the idea of an online exchange. Only localbitcoins china would work.

Is that really the case?

I wouldn't have expected Bobby Lee's statement to be as upbeat in that case.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-12-05/china-s-pboc-bans-financial-companies-from-bitcoin-transactions.html

Quote
“We’re happy to see the government start regulating the Bitcoin exchanges,” Chief Executive Officer Bobby Lee of BTC China, the largest Bitcoin exchange in the country, said today in a phone interview before the PBOC announcement was made. Regulations would be for “the good of the consumer,” he said. BTC is seeking recognition of the currency so it can be used to buy goods and services instead of being used for speculation, he said.

New rules for Bitcoin may not clarify Bitcoin’s legal status as regulators are divided over the issue, the people said. People are free to trade Bitcoin even as China refrains from recognizing it as a currency in the short term, PBOC’s Deputy Governor Yi Gang was cited by the 21st Century Business Herald as saying last month.

I work for an international company and i asked a chinese colleague to translate it for me. *(No literal translation at this moment)*

The bank is not supporting bitcoins, the risk has to be taken by the user if he decides to enter the bitcoin market. No guarantees are given for the losses made (as other investment most of the time have).

So it;s basically the same as it is in the netherlands for me with rabobank, they state: we do not support bitcoins use at own risk. we will not be liable for the damage made.

I don't think it's bad news just a warning for the general public by the bank of china.

If people want the literal translation a donation will be appreciated for the time the colleague needs to spend on it

At this stage, financial institutions cannot denominate services and products in bitcoin, cannot trade bitcoin, cannot run bitcoin exchange, cannot provide bitcoin related services, cannot store bitcoin for clients, cannot establish bitcoin trust or fund, etc.

Who cares about what Bobby Lee thinks ? he's the CEO of the exchange , his opinion is irrelevant to me ...

Have been keeping a track on transaction volumes and China was doing around 90,000 - 100,000 BTC currency transactions every 24 hours, vs the second biggest market in the USA which was doing around 1/3 the volume.

Today China is down to zero.

I don't think its panic selling. There doesn't seem to be any selling.

What are you saying? I have just logged in to BTC-China. For the last 60 mins alone, the trade volume stands at 23,264.58 BTC.

Really?

BTC-China is already a legitimate exchange. You can see the link on the bottom corner of the site "

You can also enquiry the official "Ministry of Industry and Information Technology" of China government.





As Bitcoin is treated as goods, there is no reason for banning banks from deposit and withdrawal money from the registered bitcoin exchanges.

We all knew things like this would happen eventually.
We'll get a lot more resistance in the future.

No where does it explicity state that and I don't see how you can draw that inference from what is written there...

It is a great arbitrage opportunity for you, if you believe it. Just fly over to China tomorrow and you can make thousands.

Apparently there needs to be an intelligence test for BTC.

"How many fucks would you give if any government said that holding BTC is a capital offense, or made any less severe statement?
A) Zero fucks
B) All the fucks

You chose B: you're too fucking stupid to use bitcoin, this software installation will now self-destruct."

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

I didn't gave a fuck. I just made a few hundreds selling prior the crash and then rebuying it when it crashed to 900 on BTC-E. Now I'll just sit and wait for it to rise again, idiots panic selling.  Cheesy

in other china news. baidu. the chinese search engine accpeting bitcoin. has now reported the CEO is now worlds richest man. exceeding google and other bompany values too

http://www.bloomberg.com/video/meet-china-s-new-richest-man-0SlX524KSa~jqmYkejBlZw.html

if he buys more bitcoins. he will become even more richer in the long term, as will we all.

so dont panic

Careful, Baidu only accepts bitcoin's for their anti-ddos software... You can't use it to shop on baidu or purchase anything else.

i know, but richard branson also only accepts bitcoins for limited amount of virgin galactic flights. all this news means that bitcoin is going to grow. the only thing that is happening is the standard first week of the month sell off. which has happened every month since april. and may become especially apparent in december as people prepare to buy FIAT paid christmas presents. do not think this is a crash that will cause long term suffering. its just a 'blip' in the grand scheme of things

I DO NOT TRADE OR ACT AS ESCROW ON THIS FORUM EVER.
Please do your own research & respect what is written here as both opinion & information gleaned from experience. many people replying with insults but no on-topic content substance, automatically are 'facepalmed' and yawned at

So can ordinary businesses (not banks) accept bitcoin as payment in China?  It looks like they can't from the translation.

Just checked with my wife - basically it is not clear from the Chinese (and most likely this is on purpose).

With CIYAM anyone can create 100% generated C++ web applications in literally minutes.

What?? Did you sell your account to someone else? You've always been the biggest cynic in this forum. I can't believe you are being optimistic.
