What a surprise!!! Not. This was to be expected, and to be honest, I find this to be fitting more in the bad news category. It was nice for once to not have China be part of the market, and now they slowly make a come back, regardless of the form, it's pure shit. The market has shown to be perfectly fine without Chinese exchanges being around, and for that reason, I would have liked them to stay away at least till next year, but it is what it is. I just hope that people for once take distance from that country, because they contribute to nothing but problems due to their paranoid government. I already wonder what they are going to pull once the market reaches another all time high in the coming weeks/months.
I fully agree with you and as far as China is concerned we have the same assessment. I am based in Asia too and though China is now known here as a helpful and generous government we know that deep inside it has its own agenda of controlling a big part of the world whatever it takes.
The Bitcoin community can be better if the China market is not open for cryptocurrency anymore. We have seen how resilient Bitcoin has become after all the bad news that slowly trickled into the market last month. And though it can prop up the market, the long-term effect may not always be that good because the Chinese government has a different mindset and they feel that they can do anything they want even just whispering words to the concerns (no law needed in many cases).
It should be noted though that even if Bitcoin exchanges were closed in China, the money still find its way to Bitcoin as many of them just shifted to Hong Kong. let us just hope that this time around China will not be anymore the big source of many big headaches and problems. They should behave well otherwise it would be us who will kick them out.
