Topic: The real reason why China banned Bitcoin. - page 3. (Read 420 times)
China believes that Bitcoin, as a virtual asset, has regulatory risks. It also has the characteristics of anonymous circulation and centralization, which makes it difficult for the supervisory authority to play a supervisory role, and it is easy for criminals to use Bitcoin to launder money. And Bitcoin is not issued by a Chinese government agency, and it is not a real currency. It is calculated by network nodes, so Bitcoin cannot replace traditional currencies. The management also made it clear that Bitcoin is not a currency in the true sense of the word, denying Bitcoin's currency status. Recently, Bitcoin has been shut down to prevent a series of unpredictable financial risks. This is what everyone can see. As for whether the Chinese government has privately levied coins, we don't know, perhaps through various news, suppressing the price of Bitcoin, so as to get more low-priced bargaining chips. It is also possible to face the open and transparent technical code of blockchain technology and Bitcoin. Innovate to issue China's own digital currency to resist the position of the dollar's leader.
I am a Chinese who was exposed to Bitcoin earlier. I hope to analyze the reasons for China’s Bitcoin-related policies to eliminate FUD against China.
Recently, FUD about China is often discussed in forums. China has successively issued a number of policies to prohibit the use of Bitcoin in China, including banning mining and banning bank card transactions in Bitcoin. Many people think that the reason why China is doing this is the decentralization of Bitcoin that is difficult to regulate, but this is only a small reason.
The biggest reason for China's ban on Bitcoin is carbon neutrality. China’s carbon strategy roadmap is to achieve carbon peaks before 2030, achieve carbon neutrality before 2060, and even initially achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. According to the Bitcoin Mining Council report on July 1, 2021, 56% of the energy consumed by Bitcoin mining is renewable energy. But in the past in China, although the specific proportion was not announced, the proportion of renewable energy such as hydroelectric power generation must be far smaller than this figure. This is not conducive to China's goal of achieving carbon neutrality. In order to achieve this goal, all industries need to make way for it.
Another important reason is the unprecedented chaos in China's cryptocurrency industry. I believe that if the Chinese people just invest in Bitcoin or Ethereum, the Chinese government will never prohibit the transaction of Bitcoin. Unlike the United States or Australia, many Chinese who invest in cryptocurrency don’t know what decentralization is, just blindly follow the trend to buy some unknown coins. Chinese investors lack the most basic understanding of the cryptocurrency industry, most people end up in bankruptcy. Only by restricting mining and restricting bank card transactions can China prevent these ordinary people who have been deceived by become parvenu from joining cryptocurrencies. The reason for the Chinese government to create FUD is not to suppress the price of Bitcoin, but to prevent ignorant people from losing money in the cryptocurrency field.
Finally, China's current development focus is still in the manufacturing or infrastructure fields. In China, finance or economy is still a very abstract word for most people. China's overall strength in the financial field lags far behind the developed world. Therefore, the current strategy of the Chinese government is to stabilize the economic foundation first, and after improving the people's knowledge and living standards, it will begin to develop at the financial level. Before that, it is necessary to ensure that China's overall capital flows to the real economy rather than various financial field.
There are some misunderstandings about China on this forum. I do not comment on the policies of any sovereign country, but in ten years, we may see a China that actively embraces Bitcoin. Although China may still issue policies that have a negative impact on Bitcoin now.
