There's no way to say who was responsible. Maybe "foreign Bitcoin investors," maybe Chinese activists, possibly even be an adversarial power like Japan.

Whoever was responsible, it certainly won't endear cryptocurrency to the Chinese government. But at least it shows the Chinese people that however pervasive and smothering their state, it's not invulnerable.

I saw that headline.  I was thinking, who would be DDOS'ing the China bank?  Imagine if all the savy BTC creators etc. decided to attack China?  Finally someone to slay the dragon and their stupid Great Firewall that helps keep the masses from knowledge.

Their commie media are doing their job: "foreign investors are mad, not our people, our people know we are doing this for their own good".

Well this isn't going to help anything... they should be focusing on alternative methods to continue using crypto.

Just wrote a piece on this, quoting George Chen of the South China Morning Post:
