“They also said that Banks could not perform withdraws for the purpose of Bitcoin purchases, [...] that sent a chill through the bitcoin ecosystem”.

is that referring to withdrawals for bitcoin purchases at exchanges or something else?  however, it's already explicitly stated that you can not price things in bitcoin.  im starting to think this is referring to exchanges.

What does that mean? I understand *withdrawing* money from your bank account for bitcoins, but how do you *deposit* money into a bank for bitcoins? Do banks now sell bitcoins?

BTC China has a voucher system. But I have no idea how that works. If someone can explain, that would be great.

Chinese are gamblers, they will wait till the very last minute to see what happens. Many of them are feeling lucky, but when they see all those red candles for hours on end it will eventually cause them to panic sell.

Shotr bitcoin for sure.

I believe what he is referring to is this excerpt from the Official Bitcoin Noticed issued by the Peoples Bank of China:

"Financial institutions and payment institutions are not allowed to use bitcoin...or directly or indirectly provide customers with other services related to bitcoin"

See paragraph 3 of this English translation provided by BTC China https://vip.btcchina.com/page/bocnotice2013

Essentially, banks are forbidden from having anything to do with bitcoin, directly or indirectly.

BTC China has a voucher system. But I have no idea how that works. If someone can explain, that would be great.

The BTC China voucher system is basically like buying a gift card - that can only be used to buy BTC on BTC China.  The problem is that a big part of their network of retailers who sold these vouchers were on Taobao (China's Amazon) - who have sinced banned the sale of anything bitcoin related.  So the voucher system is all but dead

BTC China also set up a "Maker-Taker" system, which essentially promotes the sale of BTC between users, which is allowed under the new Chinese regulations.

Bad news for now, but essentially this is exactly what the bitcoin community wants. Banks, back of the queue!
