Big governments are catching up with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. And are crushing them.

A couple of days after announcing that Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are “seriously disrupted the economic and financial order,” the Chinese government banned ICO funding.

That was certainly bad news for cryptocurrencies, which crushed across the board, with Bitcoin losing close to 10 percent, Ethereum 21.74 percent, Litecoin 24.92 percent, and BitConnect 32.10 percent.

Coin/Investment Trust   Change 24H*
Bitcoin (BTC)   -9.84%
Ethereum (ETH)   -21.74
Litecoin (LTC)   -24.92
BitConnect   -32.10

We are back up again, which is an incredibly fast recovery of price. Currently we are already trading at $4500+ per coin.

The Chinese government got scared in my opinion, because they didn't want cryptocurrency to go out of their control and would like to sort of "remind" everyone that they still hold much power in regulating markets.

Where are we going after this recovery, i have no idea. But i think that we might retest the $5000 level again. We are dangerously close to mania territory, though. This could be a bull trap, so be careful trading.

I dont see it as a negative just rely on the where it come? remember the media can be bought by the money a single blogger or person who can do it. Just think on it . Wether with or without chinese bitcoins will continue to rise there are so plenty of negative news but no one makes, it only makes the bitcoins price dump and give chance to the whales in the bitcoin world.

Chinese is a big player in crypto market and although we may suffer for a big loss by there absence but still the crypto market can still manage to handle this situation since there are non chinese whales and big countries still do trades with crypto. And I think on next time around crypto markets will became more healthier and chinese players will comeback later on these years.

Hong Kong regulators have now issued a warning about ICO's:

http://www.sfc.hk/edistributionWeb/gateway/EN/news-and-announcements/news/doc?refNo=17PR117

Quote

As digital tokens involved in ICOs are transacted or held on an anonymous basis, by their nature they pose inherent and significant money laundering and terrorist financing risks. The SFC reminded licensed corporations and associated entities in its 16 Jan 2014 circular7 to take all reasonable measures to ensure that proper safeguards exist to mitigate these risks. Investors should also be mindful of the potential risks involved in ICOs and investment arrangements involving digital tokens. As these arrangements and the parties involved operate online and may not be regulated, investors may be exposed to heightened risks of fraud.

This feels co-ordinated. First China bans them. Then South Korea says it is thinking of banning them. Now Hong Kong issues a warning about them.

I wonder if Hong Kong is taking a pot shot at bitfinex?

Well, I don't believe in coincidences to be honest. I think it has to be something coordinated, or probably everyone was considering banning ICOs and they were just waiting for someone else to do it first to see how the market would react. Now that they have seen that idiots sell bitcoin too even if it has nothing to do with bitcoin, we are going to see a lot of governments releasing these news of "ICO banned" prior setting shorts on BTC and probably a couple big volume alts, profit from it, then watch it go to ATH.

I think all of them has taken this mutual step to stop the fraud which was increasing day by day. Every other day a person starts a new altcoin and start the ICO and get lots of money on the name of investing in ICO, and then run away with all those money. Not all ICO are bad but still its a good move to discourage scan via ICO.

Well markets have already started picking up. Total cryptocurrencies have again touched $150 bn value.

I do not think big governments can crush bitcoin as part of the reason people buy it and support it as that at a certain level it is hard to crush by anyone. All this stuff about ICOs is not to be unexpected ie governments issung warnings since alot of the ICOs are just to get peoples money and they should be warned.

The price of bitcoin being up or down by 10% is nothing - it could even drop by 50% or more and will not be crushed. Have a look at the recovery from other big drops - its usually (in terms of years) very fast. Hell we were not so long ago "stuck" at about $250.

So long as it does not trip itself up bitcoin will be fine. Do not worry about governments. Let governments worry about bitcoin.

I don't beleive that for me this is just another conspiracy theory. Ok, China has made some destructive movements towards bitcoin but generaly I think we give to much attention and importance to government influence on bitcoin. This situations now will not influence the price long term and I don't think it's aimed to destroy bitcoin because it's simply not duable, not that easy.

The government is eyeing BTC and destroying it? about 10% to 15% down the bitcoin price, because the Chinese government is eyeing BTC because of such unique price movements.

Weak hands sell on news, it was expected with this big rise. We have been through this many many times in the past so I dont think things will change. Also the problem countries are having is with ICOs, which are illegal securities and scamming people. I have no problem with them going after that market.

Looks to me that they have already recover and most of the altcoin is already green. Bitcoin trading in a average of $43xx and may soon get to $4500 again. Yes, billions of dollars have been wipe out already but it doesn't make that we are going to crash or something that bitcoin will die. If you have been in the ecosystem you should know that bitcoin will just laugh at this and them steam will build up leading to another massive run.

Well that's what government do, but I don't think that they are intentionally crushing crypto in general. They are just putting tighter laws just to give protection to those unsuspecting victim by fake or scam ICO. What we don't like is the timing of the announcement. We are enjoying a good run that is suddenly halted by the Chinese and South Korean's banning ICO.

Well it's really only China. ICOs are still legal basically anywhere else in the world.

But yeah, this move from the Chinese government has significantly undermined the current pump. Price was almost at $5000 before the correction came that brought it down to around $4700, and when the news came out again the price went down to sub-$4000 territory.

Though price seems to be rebounding back and i think that this is going to be the start of another bull wave - albeit the new regulations. Even though this brought crypto investors nothing but bad news, it actually helped bitcoin get out of a pretty big bubble that was just waiting to be popped.

Some people tend to forget that Bitcoin is a global market, unlike Forex and the rest of the markets. For this reason, it needs a good 48 hours post-news in order for market participants to make their decisions about what they are going to do. I predict that somewhere mid week or friday as of late, the correction will end and we'll see a clear recovery marching back towards new all time highs, this time to kill the damn $5000 psychological barrier.

So let's give the market a couple of days to absorb the news and realize the fact that these news are irrelevant to Bitcoin, and there's no reason to sell at all.

its just a whale dive and they knew with this current issue panic holders will be force selling their coins and that is what happening right now
and I also do believe that after some time maybe after this week bitcoin will bounce back much stronger, just know the drill and enjoy the
ride,.

It's not just about ICOs, read the PBoC statement! It's all crypto and even platforms that offer background information, pricing, etc.

Already some other countries in Asia are following in the footsteps of China.

BTC to the moon is inevitable...

anyone who has been around for a while or anyone who is new but not super lazy to take a look at the charts would laugh at that title hard until they fall on the floor.

going down 10% in bitcoin is like the normal change in an hour that you don't even lift up your head to watch what is happening!

and the worst part is that "big governments" didn't do anything. big governments have adopted bitcoin. and they are very open to it ever since 2017. they however are always going to be vigilant against all scams aka the ICO scam mania.
if you can't understand the difference here then maybe you are in a wrong place.

If I were you I wouldnt say that big governments are crushing cryptocurrencies because most are not even moving at all to affect bitcoin price only China does. Also to clarify, China is not against cryptocurrency and is somewhat not crushing it but they are against ICO's and is somewhat illegal to their country. On the other parts of the world, joining or supporting ICO is still legal and therefore, big governments are not crushing cryptocurrencies now.

Bitcoin was basically the best performing crypto in this dump(apart from tether of course), not surprising if you think about it as ICOs are basically how all the altcoins launch these days. Nobody just release the code into the wild and let others mine the first blocks and whatnot with no strings attached.

China banning ICOs would actually be a positive factor for bitcoin in the long run, in my opinion. Most projects out there are only here to take your money and never redeem what they promised to you in the beginning. The Chinese investors, if they want to get their hands onto cryptos still would have to go with the most obvious option-bitcoin.

Anyways, btc is making a nice recovery back up to $4200 right now. I think we can expect btc to probably rise at least $100 today.

Do you know how dumb that comment is?! Governments crushing cryptos??? Ehhmm NO! It's all about ICOs! Just ICOs! And only in China! There are a few more countries out there I would guess right?! The market is overreacting as we've seen so often when you some news came out which may only influence a small portion of the market in the future. Nothing of a big deal. Just a dip you should take advantage of. That's it!

Have you noted that South Korea is following a similar path to China? If it was just ICO's then why would Bitcoin or Ethereum come down?

While crushing is a strong word. Cleansing is more appropriate in the China situation
