Could somebody tell me, why it´s so difficult to get confirmed information about this China topic?

A few million of chinese BTC up for sale soon.

How would they sell their BTC if they can't withdraw fiat from the exchanges? Plus I don't think the Chinese have millions of BTC stored in exchanges. They probably don't even have millions of BTC.

If fiat channels are truly to be cut off, then trading must be halted and all parties forced to withdraw prior to the deadline stated

And I would not discount the size of Chinese mining operations Wink

What if most people don't withdraw ahead of time? Could we potentially see another Gox? Were the Chinese mining heavily before the introduction of ASICs? I guess people could still trade BTC locally there even if it's made illegal. And at least some Chinese can travel outside the country to cash their coins no?

Why would it be anything like Gox? There are no solvency issues. I don't really know much about Chinese mining tbh. Black markets are fine, but they will never cause the demand spikes that we have seen in the past.

I think the price should go up...
Because btc cant change to Yuan, it would be harder for underage / small player to change btc to USD. Let say many ptc that have less than 0.2 BTC would be over charged by "tax" to generated in btc/yuan to USD. And theres many people like that using faucet etc cannt change their BTC, let say 100k-500k btc dumped.

Anyway as long they got banned, btc prices would be normal again (less rumour)...

Oh, nice feature. Topics of ignored ones are grayed out now, Im tempted to add more people.

Do it

That's what all open-minded people do. They ignore what they don't want to hear


The boy seems to be in pain caused by the sound. Hes doing it wrong. Im enjoying selective muting, and its cauusing a mild smile(like when taking a dump).

why are you replying to a well-known attention whore? 90% of this forum has him on ignore for a good reason
Thank you Sir for encouraging me to do so, I hesitated to put people on ignore.

That's because you are a person of good will and humane respect for your fellows.  But there are many persons on these fora who seek to destroy you.  They want to use you in order to increase their bitcoin wealth.  They are happy to see you impoverished in order to do so.  They will take every opportunity to confuse or deceive you.  They are sociopaths, and many are criminals.  It's good to point them out when you can.  The gentlemen are the worst of the bunch, because they are the most beguiling.

fonzie may be a fringe nut and an outlier, but the trend is clear: PBOC does NOT like BTC and will continue to undermine and eventually shutdown bitcoins in China. The writing is on the wall.


This isn't really directed at you, but I agree with you and I feel this needs to be said.


Why do people still say other people are nuts on these forums? So because 95% think something will happen that makes the 5% wrong? Statistically speaking, 95% is way above what is to be considered a good percentage for "Herd Mentality".

So lets just keep going with the "Herd" huh? Is that what these forums are? Everyone stick to the Herd because there's no way we are heading towards a cliff?

Lets never listen to anyone who goes against the herd!

BTW, Yes, I do believe bank accounts will be closed. But this is just fud


HuhHuh??

Do you still trade on chinese exchanges?

I'm not Chinese. Why would I trade on China exchange??

Tell me more. What happened?

On the OP it says bank accounts closed after April 7 (Huh) for 3 major banks? or is it unrelated?

Isn't China Merchants Bank in a partnership with BTCChina? Why does BTCChina deny this info?

Image reportedly shows comment by official China Merchants Bank account saying all Bitcoin-related activity halted



Fonzie, I know you want BTC to crash. I wish it would too. But I can't rely on "images" or "chat logs" to make a good investment decision.

Show me the Weibo comment. Link me to it. I don't care about an image, easily faked by Chrome developer tools or Firebug. Show me the entire chat log, from start to finish.

Another guy here said he tested the same method on the same bank and failed to retrieve the same info.

Another rock solid source.  Roll Eyes

If you want to understand why the Chinese government is spooked by bitcoin you will need to read up on QQ and Qcoin. That is their paradigm, just as the liberty dollar is what bitcoin means to US regulators.

Q coin was a private virtual currency that took off in China. Before anyone noticed it had grown to be a threat to the economy. At least the PBOC thought so.

Please confirm source of chat log. It could easily be faked. To which bank did you ask these questions? Who asked the questions? We need more information.

Edit: after reading the reddit subsection, it seems like this isn't "real". This is what would happen in theory, but even the banks don't .. know? Please confirm

I can confirm it looks definitely chinese and therefore confirmed.



If you are chinese and didn´t realize until now that BTC def. get´s banned, than it´s your fault.
Should they sing and paint it for you? Hello`` Anyone at home , knock knock??

I just asked the official China Merchants Bank about this issue via the same method, and they told me that they don't know whether it's true or false.

I just contacted btcchina.com online support, and they refuse to say whether 工行、建行、中行 accounts got closed.

So I doubt the credibility of that "screenshot".

But, who knows the truth?
