Taiwan Regulators Block Robocoin Bitcoin ATMs

[Bitcoinpro]

It is just hilarious that they want to stop the machines - as if this will do anything significant. They will just accelerate personal interest - which they can't stop

they want the machines to mine the coins

who can tell me what's Robocoin in short?

Watch this video. Everything is crystal clear.

We don't need Taiwan because we have the rest of the world.

We don't need Taiwan because we have the rest of the world.

Exactly. Already Switzerland, Germany and many other smaller nations have legalized Bitcoin. The rest will follow.

The population of Switzerland is 8 million and Germany is 82 million. The population of Taiwan is 23 million and China is 1.35 billion. It would be nice if it was the other way around. I'd give up Switzerland for China. The city of Guangzhou, China has 4 million more people than the country of Switzerland.

If we don't want users and are just looking at wealth then we need to get the tiny countries of Qatar (2 million) and Luxembourg (500 thousand people) on board.

Reminds me of the comment of one Chinese economist that PBOC calling Bitcoin not a currency is like McDonald saying KFC is not a fastfood shop.

That rampant HODL mentality is what made them consider bitcoin not be a currency but a speculative virtual commodity.

Too bad to see these harsh restrictions.  Hopefully it's not a sign of things to come from other countries.

No way China-PRC is involved. Taiwan have monetary sovereignty. They can convert to foreign currency without restrictions, their policy is radically different to that of China mainland.

China is heavily influential in Taiwan...

Bitcoin is just 5 years old! So I will not complain at all. Switzerland and Germany is better than nothing at all. And I'd rank the German economy on par with the Chinese one.

Germany is a good one but it would be nice if we can get the larger ones too. GDP of Germany = 3.4 trillion USD, GDP of China = 8.227 trillion USD, GDP of USA = 15.68 trillion USD.

People had been hodling gold since time immemorial yet it was beyond doubt a currency.
