as a Chinese, I think Okcoin is not believable.
I agree with "thresher". I definitely do not want okcoin, or any company not based in the US to take over.
Lets not get our recovered btc stolen twice.
Our Bitcoin is already gone. Anything recovered at all would be a miracle at this point.
As for a US based company taking over that scares me more than a Chinese one by a considerable margin.
The Chinese
may spy on you and/or steal your coin.
The US
will spy on everyone and will probably seize the entire exchange the second they can prove a drug dealer (or worse a copyright infringer) used the exchange. Their asset seizure laws are insane and collateral damage is fun to their government.....
The US government is not here to save us or help us. Just screw us. Im stumped as to why anyone wants anything BTC anywhere within their reach at all.
