They have no choice. Their own currency is over-manipulated by the government. The fact that they started to ban bitcoin in China is a very good sign: without real threat they will not bother.

i think it is problematic. What is achieved now?
Many chinese will be (illegally) continue trading maybe be criminalized.
Over all the POBOC makes china-people poor people. PBOC right now destrois the wealth of chinese citizens and on top of it criminalizing those that will not bow down to the misery. From the peoples standpoint it is the worst. Many honest chinese people are ruined by that zombi-bank

It was 100% naive to think that Bitcoin would have been allowed to operate in China in the first place.

Their government is Communist.  It's centralized heaven over there.

They get to "control" the prices because bitcoin is dependant of other currencies. Thats why bitcoin would need to be used on more a daily basis, but the problem is that you need your computer around you. If people start putting fixed prices in btc, then it can really start to be independant. Btc value should be determined by other factors.

Its a free market.  The only determinant of bitcoins value could only ever be what someone is willing to pay for a bitcoin at any giving moment in time.  If someone was to 'fix' bitcoin's price, is would no longer be open and decentralized.

I think he meant actually the prices of products (sold in BTC) to be fixed ; not the price of bitcoin itself. Smiley

Fixed that for you.

stupid or not, price going down, im not worried, will wait
Me, too. Back when I purchased my first few BTC, I had to wait months to see the value do anything but go down.

Believe me when I say my patience and discipline paid off.

Over all the POBOC makes china-people poor people. PBOC right now destrois the wealth of chinese citizens and on top of it criminalizing those that will not bow down to the misery. From the peoples standpoint it is the worst. Many honest chinese people are ruined by that zombi-bank
Absolutely correct, and the political ramifications (rage of millions of Chinese who lost out on all that wealth) in China when BTC returns to 1,000 will tear that country in half. Watch.

China was already overdue for a revolution, this will almost certainly be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Once the people realize how badly they got fucked by their own obedience to tyrants and fools...

God help them.

Yep.
