So with China devaluing currency and the Chinese citizens looking to get their money out of Yuan, do you think buying BTC will be one of their means for doing so? I dont know much about the capital controls, but if the citizens cant easily take their Yuan and buy other currencies maybe buying BTC will be easier and more efficient for them? This would be very good news for the BTC price. Thoughts?
Yes, Chinese citizens have only $50,000 USD a year of forex limit. Many go to black markets though and source their forex from there.
BTC is quite a good option to move their funds. In doing so it also educates the public about cryptocurrencies.
If one day BTC can be used nearly everywhere in Earth, then it would be even better. Because they wouldn't need to dump their coins again to get worthless fiat. Instead, they can say, buy a house using just bitcoins.
