And cryptocurrency is no exception. On the one hand, the totalitarian regime does not allow citizens to freely use uncontrolled and alternative systems of payment or accumulation, "independent currency".
On the other hand, the principle "money does not smell" works - and if the crypto market generates income, then .. Then you can! But not for everyone, but only for state-controlled structures.
I am sure that all mining farms are now in the hands of the state, or proteges of the state have been introduced there.
It's like with Alibaba and its owner Jack Ma - the state said "now you can't do this, now we will do your business", and Jack Ma left China with his family, and disappeared "from the air" for almost half a year.
The episode involving Jack Ma stands as a stark reminder of the possible traps in this pathway. Nonetheless, we must ensure not to overlook the bigger picture and opportunities lurking within. Digging a layer deeper, maybe we're witnessing the birth throes of an innovative economic scheme, one that bridges the gap between the disorder of laissez-faire economics and the strictness of centralized control. As time unspools, it will divulge how this absorbing tale unravels. Until that moment arrives, let's persist in fueling these enlightening exchanges and nurturing our shared wisdom.
The "funny" is that China is just doing "centralized management of decentralized assets"!
Sounds contradictory, but it's true
I repeat once again - China will not deny itself the pleasure of managing another sphere of people's lives, this is embedded in the paradigm of Chinese "capitalist communism"
Considering the change of vector from development to totalitarianism, at least regional imperial ambitions, and attempts not only to declare but also to really try to make oneself the second pole of the world - this is all to be expected. It is difficult for me to guess how the situation will develop, we will just observe the development of the situation.
The only thing I will assume is that the population of China (developed regions and business regions) will not like the "clamping" of rights and opportunities, and total control by the state, after almost 20 years of free development .. What will this lead to? Let's see.
