Accept That Bitcoin Is A Currency And Stop Blaming The Victims of CrimeIn Hong Kong the Bitcoin “investment scheme” MyCoin has reportedly disappeared, along with over $350 million. The Hong Kong government’s response was to issue a warning about Bitcoin and digital currencies in general. That probably doesn't raise many eyebrows; we have all become accustomed to that response, but replace “Bitcoin” with almost anything else of value that could be stolen and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA)'s reaction would be outrageous. There is no talk about investigating or attempting to prosecute the crime, just a warning. The attitude that comes across is “What do you expect if you own a virtual currency?” Replace those last two words with gold or U.S. dollars, or almost anything else for that matter, and the statement becomes an insult. http://www.nasdaq.com/article/accept-that-bitcoin-is-a-currency-and-stop-blaming-the-victims-of-crime-cm442726

Hong Kong is part of China. If China wants to ban bitcoin in Hong Kong, they now have the excuse. I think they should draft regulations and not a complete ban.

This is NOT FUD. 1. The PBOC ban in China between banks and exchanges goes into effect on China's new year... a couple days away! 2. The lawmaker in HK has the backing of about 45 pissed-off customers to get the HK ban going. 3. The BIGGIE... ALL of the Chinese exchanges use vouchers claimable in HK because of the up-coming PBOC ban. These three things = If an KH ban happens, BTC will drop to serious lows as all Chinese will be selling-off! Market controlled price with the Chinese continuing to control over 70% of all trading spells disaster if they are forced to sell. Strap in. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Read, then you will find that Mycoin was not an exchange but a weird sort of investment scam that smells like Ponzi. Completely different from what the Chinese major exchanges do. MyCoin promised clients a return of HK$1 million ($128,966) over a 4-month period, based on a HK$400,000 investment that would produce 90 bitcoins on maturity, the South China Morning Post reported on Monday.and the lawmakers do realize the difference, so I would be surprised if they ban Bitcoin outright... The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) said in a statement late on Monday that the case "may involve fraud or pyramid schemes," adding: "Given the highly speculative nature of Bitcoin, we have all along urged the public to exercise extra caution when considering making transactions or investments with Bitcoin."Good FUD but still FUD. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
