It is only the speculators that ever listened to them anyway. Investors have a tendency to panic sell. Each time they do I buy some more.

We all saw the big price dropped 8 hours before in almost all Bitcoin Exchanges , etc. OKcoin, Huobi and Bitcoinstamp. The drop was triggered by the rumors which spread by a Chinese rumor group through Weibo, so that the People's Bank of China has banned all the Chinese banks’ accounts which rare elated to the Bitcoin Exchanges, including the third party companies, such as the agencies which offer deposit service to the Bitcoin Exchanges. The numbers of the rumor group dumped lots of bitcoins on the major exchange platform to make panic sell, it caused the price dropped rapidly. At the same time, they bought back more bitcoins on a lower price to make profits. Because of the high click rate on Weibo, this strategy worked effectively, and a lot of Bitcoiners lose. In my opinion, If we can hold the bitcoins longer until the price is up to $800(the data is according to the history bitcoin data, check it out!), the rumor group will not have that much money play, thanks to the Chinese government (limitation of deposit). Hold on Bitcoiners, we can make a new history this year!

When you say "chinese rumor group" what do you mean exactly? Is it just a couple of people on Weibo? Or is this a large scale organization getting out false information to a high amount of people quickly?

so much FUD in CHINA

[jc01480]

Only 30 years ago China would restrict and punish practices that were seen as capitalistic.... until they saw the enormous economic benefit and now China is a fast growing economy. I think the same protracted capitulation will happen with bitcoin China. At least that's what my crystal ball tells me. 

That's not the feeling I get when I stare at my balls.

China rumors have lost their power over the price of Bitcoin.

That's what happens when you overdo it, in too short a period of time, Chinese people.

I'm beginning to understand where the term "Chinese fire drill" came from.

Those are manipulations by some BTC market manipulators in China, start to spread FUD on Wiebo, dump some btc, get the price low enough, buy in, calm the panic, and then spread some abroad good news.
Within minutes these guys were making money on the panic sell of the thousands people. This is not the first time nor the last time this will happen, if certain market manipulators, such as some big V on weibo, have the means to manipulate price to make profits, they will do so again and again until the market stops paying attention. Good news is this time, the FUD has not affected the price much yet.

I bet a lot of these Chinese people have still got all there coins and are still trading.
There is always a way around problems, IE, Goverments.

You do it too many times and people stop listening. I think we are seeing that now. There was a time when if someone in China sneezed the price dropped by 75 bucks.

Nice is the "china ban" days of the month once again but who cares anymore? And who cares if china will ban bitcoin or something like that?

[CoolBliss]

You mean the $50 drop? That's peanuts compared with previous China bans. Which proves the point that at least the west is not buying it anymore. Actually, scratch that, the west is buying now. So let China sell all.

Bitcoin is over in china, for now. We've all known this since March. Please stop.
