In case anyone questions my authority on these matters, you can check out an endorsement here.

Proudhon knows what he is talking about. Heed his warnings and be saved.

I took back my post since someone said they we're attacking the network and not gaining >51% of the mining rate network.
Anyway millions of petahashes is rediculous.

Since US companies and wallstreet are investing in Bitcoin would a chinese attack on bitcoin protocol be an act of war against the US?

Calculations don't matter when we can check the facts from the confirmed sources.  Just read the link I provided.  It's all there in plain Chinese.

Here's some terrible English language bad news.  Summary below:

1.  Overstock.com started accepting bitcoin
2.  They did $100,000+ sales in 24hours

The bad news is that despite this, the bitstamp price is below $1000.  This just demonstrates that bitcoin has reached its saturation point.  Even without governments planning large scale attacks on bitcoin, it would likely die this year anyway.

Yup, I've heard from some well placed friends in HK that there are mentions of PLA Unit 61398 already working on ways to cripple bitcoin. They'll likely attack the network aspect of BTC instead of attempting double spend. A vast chunk of btc's value would vaporise on the basis of it being vulnerable to delay even though it wasn't breached. The attack will begin any day now, I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't sold yet.

Yeah, wasn't 100% sure about your comment, good one

A day in the life of a Bitcoin short trader...  

You missed the "uber inner Bear" comment.  

(should have used a smiley - my bad)

What's up with all these people thinking Proudhon is serious? You might want to try use that excessive growth between your shoulders...

HHAHAHA, good luck with that

I think China is intending to send assassins across the world to steal peoples hard drives and get everyone addicted to Ping Pong again

Is this satire?

Maybe a serious thread on this subject would be in order?

And CIYAM Open you forgot your /sarc detector somewhere?

Really?

Do you actually *know* Chinese?

I thought you'd stopped trying to "short" Bitcoins way back - the recent news in China has brought back out your "uber inner Bear"?

Please use this thread to only post confirmed news from confirmed sources to help everyone understand what is obvious - bitcoin is in a downtrend to oblivion.  

My latest find comes, of course, from official sources in China and details how the Chinese government is planning a massive 99% attack on the blockchain.  I'll put the main points below, but anyone can check the facts from the source:

1.  Chinese offials delcare bitcoin a global financial virus
2.  Officials from other nations are in agreement with china China, including the US
3.  The Chinese government has millions of petahashes ready to deploy on the blockchain to destroy the protocol
4.  In addition to attacking the blockchian, China will sell all their mined bitcoins on MtGox

It's obvious bitcoin has gone as far as it can go, but any other thoughts about this devastating news?
