Don't you find it insane that the biggest crypto exchange such as binance are own by Chinese yet they ban BTC?
Those ban orders are just for the public notice but in reality its not really ban, there are several Chinese parents I see wearing shirts with the logo of BTC in my kids school.
If they are going to be releasing State-backed crypto then good, I'd like to see how US and other governments will try to stop them from doing so.
Because Chinese are one of the early adopters of bitcoin, remember they still command the majority of mining power. There are still Chinese crypto back-up exchanges as of the moment, but it doesn't mean that they will change their stance on bitcoin.
This newest strategy of Chinese government might result in another hot trend globally. Government-backed crypto currencies. Personally, such government-backed crypto currencies, when widely launched, will boost the crypto ecosystem to all time high level, that we all have never imagined.
I doubt that, Maduro Petro didn't bring any hype, Russian's Crypto Rubble, the same. Russians didn't support it because of the huge tax. So I don't think that it will boost the crypto ecosystem.
It is great news that China is going crypto but I see a huge potential threat for all crypto currencies, because if each county would release their own digital crypto backed by something, why would they need to accept crypto currencies?
The reason why governments are creating their own crypto is for tax purposes only. But they can't really stop crypto because it has taken off and I don't think that their population will support their own country's token.
