if this is really going to happen, now is the last chance for chinese ppl to acquire some BTCs without having a hard time! therefore BTC for CNY may soon trade for a premium?!

Let's hope we don't face another major crash like the one that happened in April this year.
Seriously, Chinese have the power to crash it, if not make it or break it.

This PBOC announcement is super fresh..

You can bet there are many people within the bitcoin/bitcoin exchange community in China right now- figuring ways around the "ban" that will continue to allow the people in China to trade and be able to convert their bitcoins into fiat

Just look at online poker.. they found a way around that in the US...

oh wait...

You can measure the corruption of any given government by the way they react to bitcoin. China (unsurprisingly) is easily the most corrupt country on the planet, followed (by wide margin) by the u.s.

Germany, on the other hand, appears to be relatively little corrupt (at least for now) given its size.

This is a good way to get a somewhat objective measurement on the evilness of govt. and their representatives.

The altcoins had their 2 weeks of fame. As the demand from China dips, it will affect altcoins like Litecoin and Namecoin more than the Bitcoin itself. Soon Litecoin will go down under 0.01 and other altcoins will follow.
