Hong Kong lawmakers urge ban on bitcoin

[dataispower]

"The government should clamp down on bitcoin, said lawmakers Leung Yiu-chung and James To, who accompanied the complainants, among them Nepalese and mainland Chinese, as well as Hong Kong citizens.

"The government should not just stand aside," Leung told reporters. "It's simply not enough to just ask people to exercise caution when investing ... it has to ban the circulation of such virtual currency in the market.""

Oh no, this has nothing to do with bitcoin. Just because some bad apple which runs a company which so called relates to bitcoin, spoils the day, doesn't mean that it is bitcoin's fault. Somebody really needs to step up and explain all these to those people and clear the misconception.

It's no use, these people like to blame everyone but themselves for falling for obvious Ponzi schemes. Their brains have been lost a long time ago.

Look like bitcoin is going to die for the 43rd time!

Don't be too afraid for the ban, bitcoin doesn't really care about law makers.
