This article is about Hong Kong, the laws in HK are not the same as the rest of China.
edit-- just read all of it, the debit card is definitely a good development

This was just a fun experiment, but its interesting to see the data... So far 5.28% agree with you that it will be between $6-700, meanwhile 6.69% think it will be over $1,000 and 3.17% think under $100. Over half (55.63%) are in the $4-$600 range...

Because the government does not understand Bitcoin, so response is slow. The government is afraid of doing something wrong, so also more conservative.

+1 Yes. and what is wrong with that? China is not out to crush bitcoin, they just are afraid of hurting their economy. Those who know the story of QQ money in China know where they are coming from.

This is a good development. At least the people from mainland China can purchase Bitcoins without much legal hassle, if they are ready to travel to Hong Kong. Let's see what the PBOC is going to do about this.

I doubt any government is going to embrace Bitcoin. It's the people who need to embrace it. We're talking about a currency that entirely bypasses the strict and rigid systems China (and other governments) have setup to control their currency. As individual adoption starts thriving, then the governments will do something to earn tax revenue from it (probably by taxing exchanges heavily). Point is, don't hold your breath for major government adoption. My only hope is for adoption in developing countries where there is no stable currency. That's what will be most powerful in the long run. Lao and Cambodia both have a population with access to the internet and smartphones, yet their economy is a mix of THB/USD and their local unstable currency.

Hong Kong is not China. Well, it is, but it isn't. They have their own government. They are a special administrative region of China, just like Macau.

Hong Kong is not China. But Mainland Chinese can travel to Hong Kong and indulge in Bitcoin trading without any restrictions. That is the entire point. There is nothing that the Chinese government can do here.

People from mainland China need a visa to get into HK.... not that it's a hard visa to get but it's not as simple as driving down a few miles to another town.

I followed the link in the article to Cryptex. Unfortunately, Firefox indicated a problem with the certificate of the site. What does this mean? I don't know. But it would seem odd for a financial site to overlook the certificate authority issues.

Anyone with a campaign ad in their signature -- for an organization with which they are not otherwise affiliated -- is automatically deducted credibility points.
