It's very possible that Bitcoin price and network will take some impact once China ban Bitcoin mining since they are consider to be one of the worlds largest mining farms, but I bet that the effect will not last too long because miners will just shift to a new country that is Bitcoin friendly to continue doing their business. I have read on some articles that the countries like Canada, Switzerland and United States will be the best option for Chinese miners.

If China look forward on banning bitcoin then it will surely have a great impact on btc prices as the network will be disturbed due to china being center of bitcoin mining.But the miners will not stop working due to profits and will shift to other ways or other big companies will take oppurtunity to break this monolpoly and enter mining business.So we will have to wait for that moment.

As right now China is thinking of creating their own coin, so it means that they wont stop mining but they can regulate it and make more strict restriction so that illegal usage of power in mining wont work

A few years ago I was hearing news that there were indeed rules for mining in China, I forgot the details but the government gave notice to them. If bitcoin mining is banned in China, then where will bitcoin mining benefit? Here the biggest bitcoin mining is in china, and after I looked for information indeed in the calculation of costs in China is very supportive for mining.
We already heard that news before, but look at the price of Bitcoin, still there's no much effect with their announcement of banning Bitcoin, as on the other side of story, Chinas government itself are the one investing and doing mining, they wanted to just keep it but they already know the benefit and advantage of Bitcoin. |

China is already try to ban crypto and nothing changed. I dont think that they are going to really change something
They tried but they have not succeeded, china controls 70 percent off mining in the world, so they have so much influence on mining, if china bans it now, the Chinese people would be finding it hard to freely mine bitcoin and other coins that are mineable, and to move the mining machine out of the country would be difficult because their custom would really want to frustrate such miner. This will surely make these coins to start becoming quite more scare, though the more the coin becomes scarce, the more the value will appreciate, but we cannot completely keep miners out of the market, and the remaining miners around the globe would not be enough to really satisfy the need of the community generally for these coins, so we need china to have full support. |

When china gets their filthy hands on something, they always ruin it. Besides, it doesn't make a lick of sense to waste so much energy. It's ludicrous, egregious, preposterous.

Its only speculations and probably its quite impossible that they will ban bitcoin mining. They have benefited to it in many years and its ridiculous if they will ban it directly. Many countries are very interested about it and if they do ban bitcoin mining its their big loss. They must be ready if they do the ban.

The title says bitcoin mining so it only includes the mining of bitcoins. Mining anything else there is no law against or anything. Yes, the illegal use was not really illegal it was more of taking advantage of a situation that was never meant to work if people require such high amounts of power. Keeping things normal is fine so that is why that worked for a long time. I am surprised they were able to mine as much as they were for so long without anything being done. |

China owns a large span of Bitcoin miners. They have approximately 70% of hash power I supposed. Though if they were to ban it, it would probably slowing down transactions, and as well it will increase mining decentralization. In addition China would be able to conserve a lot of electricity 'cause for about approximately of 70% of hash power are in China they got more than half of the world's total hash power right there. Though the bills they are receiving in return of allowing it would just be cut-off.

I agree, many bitcoin miners are in china and most of them are a richer. if they do that it will affect more there businesses and other company's that starting to use blockchain and crypto currency. and you are correct that china had benefit on bitcoin mining in several years. they really think about it well before they do. or it may cause any trouble on its users. but we will see it in their next steps. it is not easy to do this for no reason. |

It does not make sense for government to have even thought of banning mining in the first time, when it had not negative effect on them. I know that when it comes to financial strength, china is already great, but they need to keep it up by allowing some of these projects that would help more of their economy and also help their lending strength to other countries. That is in the past anyway, I don’t think that they are still planning on doing so because they are also working on their own cryptocurrency, which they will need miners a lot to be able to meet up with the number of coins that needs to be mined for their citizens to be able to use it for whatever reason they want them to use it for. I think now, they are going to be supporting them a lot. |

Then the whole mining system will collapse, that's what will happen
I doubt that it will collapse, it may have significant effect on the ecosystem. But to say that it will fall just because of China banning bitcoin mining is absurd. And I'm sure big mining companies inside China has already a plan B in case the government made that bold move. At least if this happens, then it can break the monopoly and I'm sure there will be companies and countries will to take the lead. Why it going to collapse? is the china was the one who can mine bitcoin? I think it can cause to reduce the mining percentage everyday but other country can do also mining so we can recover it until we mined all the bitcoin. Nothing will be changed. Bitcoin is the world cryptocurrency, and even if China bans its mining, it will not affect the other market. As soon as I know, Chinese guys manage to deal with all activities that refer to cryptocurrencies now (including mining and cloud mining). Hope, soon everybody will understand that the BTC ban will not stop it. |

Even now the contribution of China in mining is very big, but if something happens surely someone else will take responsibility and continue to mine. It is same as a ban of bitcoin from a country. Just because a country banned there won't be big impact on the market of bitcoin. Maybe there'll be small level of crash which will get to the normal pace of functioning in a short. |

LOL. I'm not a big fan of China, either, but it mostly has to do with their culture of counterfeiting American goods. I could care less what they do on their own soil, but that affects our economy and it's built into their way of life. There was an article floating around here the other day saying that China wasn't going to go through with the mining ban, and I think that's a good thing. Chinese citizens ought to have the freedom to mine if they want to and the government should just fuck off. But even if the ban did go through, I would imagine that those Chinese miners would migrate to a country nearby that was friendly to miners. I can't imagine that they would just give it up. Can Chinese citizens move freely to other countries? I know they're a communist country and sometimes they have harsh laws about that. |

Bumping this interesting year old thread to see if anything has changed. Appears China miners continues to have the majority of the hash power (~65%) and currently China continues to be permissive of bitcoin mining. However, China's own central bank digital currency (CBDC) is gathering momentum. My current question is that as China rolls out its CBDC is there a risk of China making mining of bitcoins illegal since they might (incorrectly IMHO) view bitcoin as some kind of competition? If so what would be the short term and long term ramifications if the China's miners were turned off overnight? IMHO short term there might be a negative knee-jerk reaction, but long term the decentralized nature of bitcoin should accommodate any major shift like that. Would such a shift make a 51% attack actually possible? Thoughts? A couple of related articles as FYI https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-bitcoin-holders-worry-about-chinese-control-of-the-mining-network May 1, 2020 US Bitcoin Holders Worry About Chinese Control of the Mining Network
China has consolidated more than half of the world’s Bitcoin mining operations. What threats could the situation create? https://cointelegraph.com/news/china-s-leadership-in-the-bitcoin-mining-industry-will-be-challenged Nov 14, 2020 China’s leadership in the Bitcoin mining industry will be challenged
China has a lot of advantages in the Bitcoin mining industry, though it won’t last forever, as more countries are entering the space. |

Not sure if this is going to happen, even though there have been several talks about bitcoin mining getting banned in China, but if it ever happens, it will be really devastating on one end cause lesser bitcoins will be mined and added to the market, that will cause scarcity of bitcoins and good on the other hand it will increase the price of bitcoin, cause with little or no supply the holders will refuse to sell at lower prices, thus there will be a spike in bitcoin price,although a few mining companies will be able to go out and establish an another enterprise in another country, the smaller ones will be stuck there and they will eventually quit mining since its been prohibited by the government .

Nothing will happen. Several times we've seen about the banning of bitcoin mining in China. At occasions on inspection about the disturbance in the economy bitcoin mining will be stated as a reason. Later the news fades, and mining won't be stopped by the government or the owners. Regularly there is more and more advanced mining equipments manufactured. China holding majority of the miners is also an advantage for them. If China goes against bitcoin mining, and people stops it automatically someone from other countries will take the chance and starts mining. So, at any cost the network won't get disturbed.

You can never be sure with the government in China. They can prohibit things, but they can also revert to this decision after a while. And then they can even offer it. I think that bitcoin and the mining around it will never really be accepted by the whole of society. Banks and government lose a lot of power and have little influence and control over transactions. That is why they are vehemently against it, including all the affiliated processes related to it.
