Can someone explain to me why china is trying to ban bitcoin.?
China enslaves her remarkable labor force with many powerful monetary tools such as currency devaluation. This means the people in Chinese government can capture huge wealth while the common chinese worker makes products that are competitively priced all over the world. Bitcoin allows rich factory owners to to keep the money instead of giving it to the government in a maneuver called 'capital flight'.
Don't worry. This is GOOD for bitcoin.
Not good for the short term price of Bitcoin, but good for Bitcoin. Bitcoin was created for this very reason. Bitcoin was created to prevent governments from controlling (just a nice way of saying 'stealing') other people's money. Bitcoin will really shine when it proves that a powerful government like China can't prevent people from exchanging value as peer to peer.
The whole fucking reason we have Bitcoin - is now being put to a real test for the first time. This is totally perfect. This is Bitcoin V. China. We are about to find out whether Bitcoin can be controlled by a governement or rather if Bitcoin is actually successful in its primary mission.
Who could be upset by that? It is the greatest thing that could ever happen to Bitcoin. I hope the fight gets fierce and nasty. I hope it goes hard and heavy to the wire. I want the test to be complete. If China backs up and takes a soft path, we will never know the true strength and nature of Bitcoin. The test is on! I hope it is a good one.
Is the BTC still expected to fall?
Who cares? Only short thinking profit mongers give a damn about that. Why would you be interested in a few bucks this week rather than the entire reason for being of Bitcoin? How fucking dumb can you possibly be?
