People here have claimed that Bitcoin is in fact controlled and ruled by China, as mining is centralized by Chinese mining institutions.

Do you think that China is controlling/ruling bitcoin yes or no?

Bitcoin is not and cannot be controlled by no one. The fact that now in China is the biggest interest for bitcoin mean that simple people here want more bitcoin and that's all. Is not the State who have desire to have bitcoin but the simple people. And this mean that they are not able to control bitcoin because are to many and not only one owner. Then to not forget that bitcoin is decentralized and open source; two factors these which make even more impossible that bitcoin be controlled by some centralized authority and even less by a bunch of people.

I do not think that China is controlling bitcoin,  the concept of decentralized peer to peer should explain it.  Even with majority of the hashrate is located in that place, it is not own by a single personality.  So the interest and idealism about what to do with he hashpower is not controlled by only one person.

no one can control bitcoin


Exactly, no could really control it because it is alive as long as there were people who supported it. Yet the fact that most of the miners really huge percentage of miners to be exact was in china. They might not be able to control bitcoin itself(but the flow can be manipulated in the long term process). If they succeed the peer to peer concept would be centralized only to that certain country + the strong community(they would surely be the strongest group in bitcoin community) and that is not good

I dont think so bitcoin is being controlled by china because i havnt seen chinese involved in bitcoins.. if it would have been controlled by china then there would be many chinese..

Yes it is true tha China has no control over Bitcoin. But wait, China has the biggest stocks of bitcoin, it means that if they hold bitcoins the price may increase in a very large range and deflate at a very large range also. They also have the biggest bitcoin mining farms in the world. This just implies that though they have no control on bitcoin but they have the ability to control its market.

I agree if china can control the bitcoin, because as the largest world's country and largest bitcoin users surely china can controlling the bitcoin. So, is this very advantage for us.

having a large population or having the most interest in bitcoin doesn't mean they are controlling bitcoin. this is a false assumption which starts from the high volume on their exchanges.
controlling bitcoin has a completely different meaning which is not the discussion of this topic and I am not getting into it.

China capable of decentralized bitcoin / alt for all developing countries, the quantity of cheap low-quality market Bitcoin make them affordable to most people in the world. If Bitcoin collapse, it is not because the quality is declining, but trust humans to market movements.

If the African continent is able to do the same thing, bitcoin will become a phenomenon unmatched.

Does it really matter as long as the price goes up. The Chinese are taking over the world not just bitcoin.

Mate you have already know the truth with what you said. Let me use this as an example. The Central Bank of your countrry are the one who provide and design new currency into the system, isn't it? Likewise as bitcoin cos the means to generate more/new bitcoin into the system is to mine and the country which see that as business automatically control bitcoin cos the more they mine the more you and I see more bitcoin in the market

Your analogy is far from perfect

The main problem with it is that the Central bank of your country is the only entity which is allowed to issue new money tokens. This basically means if it doesn't do that, then nobody will. And here's the crux of the matter. If Chinese miners choose not to mine any longer, that doesn't in the least mean that no one else will mine bitcoins either. On the contrary, miners around the world will just be happy to mine the bitcoins that the miners from China chose to lose. This is where your analogy fails
Don gt me wrong mate. If China choose not to mine anymore all the miners in the world will be happy i know that and i use the Central Bank thing as an example cos China is the gateway of bitcoin mining.

China is a gateway to Bitcoin mining

But only as long as they have the controlling stake in mining, i.e. as long as they continue mining. As soon as they stop mining or someone eventually outmines them, so to speak, they will lose that control. So it is rather lopsided and not very authoritative overall (if what we see can be called control at all) since they can do nothing if someone powerful decides to wrest it from their grasp

From what i understand is they have like 75% of control of the  BTC mining. The reason is the cheap technology they have like mother boards and other components. Not to mention the cheap energy they have. Its very hard in the USA where i live to compete with them due to how expensive energy and computers are here.
You're absolutely correct and that's the point why China is the controller of bitcoin. But I don't know is hard for people to accept this cos you can't run away from the truth.

The Chinese are only controlling the mining of the bitcoin. But the miners can also be built by westerners.

Even knowing that China does have big miners over there, the mas they can do is to control them, but not bitcoins, early adopters and small traders does own a lot of bitcoins, preventing a single person to get control over bitcoin, besides to we be talking about a currencie worthing billions.
Well you're right China cannot control bitcoins. The only thing they have power on is their mining capacity and the bitcoin market. They rule the mining industry since they are the number one miners of bitcoin. They also rule bitcoin market since Chinese owns huge amount of bitcoins, if they hoard it bitcoins price will skyrocket but if they will sell all maybe bitcoin will go back to one dollar each.

Do you think that China is controlling/ruling bitcoin yes or no?
No, I don't think so as we know that bitcoin is p2p system and owned by every user around the world which mean no one/country could really control bitcoin. Even majority of bitcoin miners located in China doesn't mean that the country control bitcoin through them and what I know that most of daily transactions (spending) occurred in US (forget where I read about it). If in China has more miners so they could manipulate bitcoin price I thought due to mostly supply comes from there with big volume of daily trading but not to take control.

I believe that china controlls the biggest bitcoin exchanges and also the biggest bitcoin mining industries. but i would disagree with the saying that china controls it. It plays a big part in the success of bitcoin but does not control it.
Bitcoin is for all of us, and the control we are talking here is not the manipulation because I believe we are smart enough to understand if it's a manipulation or not. It's not centralized like the government are in control so we have the freedom to choose the action that we want.
yes that is right to say but i think in one sense we can say that China is controlling bitcoin, as the number of bitcoin users is more that users of bitcoin in any other country, so in this sense we can say that China is controlling bitcoin.

Actually china is not controlling bitcoins .they are investing a lot of money in the mining of bitcoins .bitmain is the biggest company in the mining of bitcoins .well if u buy one of them u are likely to earn a lot of bitcoins .kudoo Smiley
A lot of people are saying that China is controlling most of the Bitcoin mining, and while that might be true, they are not controlling Bitcoin as a whole.
Plus a lot of people that are saying that China controls Bitcoin mining are really exaggerating.
No exaggeration..
you can easily find these informations, and you'll see that the majority comes from china.

it's not like they are manipulating bitcoin right now, but what they can do with all this power...
with more than 51% of the power china can do a big mess in bitcoin, not only attacking but imagine if china government tries to ban bitcoin(like has been discussed by them), that would crash the price.

ps: i dont believe they would ban bitcoin - and i know how hard it would be - but a simple attempt would be enough to see this crash.
Operators of Chinese mining farms are only interested in the financial aspect (profits) that their farms are generating, and not how to mess up things.

If they want to cause a massive amount of harm, it will not only harm Bitcoin, but also themselves as they have huge coin stashes and millions worth hardware when it comes to the larger farms.

Theoretically it's possible to harm Bitcoin, but as long as they are making millions each year, there is no point into making a mess of Bitcoin. Doesn't make sense.

Governments are another aspect of this story. If they were planning to ban Bitcoin completely, they would have done it already. I don't think they ever will.
