Topic: China may ban bitcoin mining soon. (Read 669 times)
China is very careful about all mew technologies, they are afraid that due to cryptocurrencies they can loose the power, they are afraid of change of authoritative power to democracy.
I have heard this problem long time ago, but until now it hasn't happened, so I doubt the statement from China. even if this happens, the miners must have other innovations, because everyone is free to use the blockchain network even though it is limited by a country.
The decision of China is affecting seriously to the market and market stopped to grow for the last news. China doesn't want to be part of the biggest growing sector of crypto mining and they should have better alternatives.
I think that any serious action in the next six months we will not see. What that peretrubatsii associated with mining will definitely be, but I do not think it will be something significant. And what will happen in 2020 depends only on the crypto industry.
This is not news this was that year, and as we can see the situation was resolved. The whole problem is that the government understands that it cannot control the industry in full volume and therefore is trying to ban it.
Wow, this is a very strong blow to the Bitcoin network, because as far as I know the main mining capacities are there, if they really forbid BTC, it will have a huge impact on the network and maybe even kill BTC
Bitcoin mining trouble continues rising, and are at all time high. This does not sound good, Anyway. China’s crackdown on ICO and now making such statement is troublesome obviously, however restriction on bitcoin mining change nothing, technology always finds new ways. How often are they gonna do that. They should STOP!
There are always negative problems and issues when the market is moving positively, this is what blocks the movement of bitcoin because it makes investors think that bitcoin is no longer profitable.

After China closed the Bitcoin trading and banned (ICO), this was to be expected. Too much energy from mining, which put pressure on the country's energy system, and financial risks associated with cryptocurrency, there is such an opinion. Major manufacturers of bitcoins have already moved to other countries with a more loyal government. I don’t think that this ban will change something, at least not very much.
Before they prohibited ICOs and now they want to stop mining in China. Why aren't they welcoming cryptocurrency or why are they doing action when bitcoin / crypto is becoming popular. They don't want another source of income for their people that would lead to tax people who are into this industry? Big mining operations there would migrate to nearby countries that has friendly rules about cryptocurrency especially today that they can see the market would start growing again. These mining firms invested billions of money to make their operation continuous and if China prohibits even mining, they won't stop their operation.
Chinese governments has taking several drastic actions against bitcoin in the past, therefore, I don't see any new things if they ban bitcoin mining. Remember that this will only affect the mining companies or firms in China and not any other countries.
no need for the Chinese government to be considered fools. The fact is that they also know how to pursue a policy regarding everything that can benefit China. In economic terms. I see a completely different situation, which is forgotten by the Chinese government. Most likely, they can fully monopolize the Bitcoin mining business, since analysts say it is about 70% of all miners located in China.

China won’t be able to ban everything at a one stroke, in my opinion. Besides how can we be sure it’s not speculations? It’s only a guess work.
Chinese miners are slowly moving to Siberia, where there is a lot of territory and cheap electricity.
Even if there is a ban on mining, it will not affect the industry. Is that bitcoin will be a little more expensive, because the cost of mining will increase.
It will both have negative and positive impact on the cryptocurrency, the ban is coming when we need lots of interest in cryptocurrency, and china being the largest population worldwide will send a very strong signal to the rest of the world if crypto is adopted by them.Secondly, like the op said, most of the machines used in mining are produced from there because of their cheap labor, mining machines will become more expensive for people to afford and will also be scarce which will make it very difficult to mine now.
Finally, the advantage of this as you said is the demand for BTC will be higher making the cost of BTC expensive and increasing the price of BTC to the peak.
I am very sad by this news

I think that this will not happen, I see no serious reasons for banning mining. But even if this happens, the mining equipment will be transported to another country and continue to mine. SHANGHAI:HONGKONG

That would going to affect the cryptocurrency market too severe. Look at the volume of chinese people. As looking at the world map, we can already say that, these people have a huge market allocation and volume of the cryptos. Also, big investors are from china. I hope they would change their mind.
Even if there is a ban on mining, it will not affect the industry. Is that bitcoin will be a little more expensive, because the cost of mining will increase.
Certainly, an increase in the cost of mining a coin will increase the value of digital assets. This is logical.
