my only question right now regards how much longer china can remain tolerant of people using bitcoin to get around the capital controls.
Good question.
I've seen the argument put forth (Andreas perhaps?) that China will ultimately be unable to ban bitcoin, because enforcement takes place at the local level, and local police can be bribed. Imagine being a clandestine miner siphoning power illegally from a power plant in China, being told by a local enforcer you have to stop. Unless you give me half your bitcoin. Mined using free (stolen) electricity. What's gonna happen? The enforcer is going to HELP the miner steal the power.
I'm not sayin' that a Chinese ban wouldn't be bad for the price, at least short term. I'm just sayin' ... bitcoin is too far out of Pandora's box to put back in place, and maybe, just maybe, the relevant Chinese PTB know this.

bitcoin was designed for the unbanked masses not the chinese middle class (specifically anyway).
i don't believe 'normal' chinese people are anywhere near bitcoin, just as no 'normal' westerners are either. it's still the province of enthusiasts, visionaries and weirdos regardless of what country they're in.
we'd already be firmly in the tens of thousands if regularish folks had taken it to their hearts. and yeah, the chinese government would squash the exchanges. they have nothing much to gain from bitcoin spreading.
if they're willing to shut down their stock markets then they're sure as shit gonna shut down a few obscure bitcoin exchanges too. i'd prefer if it happened sooner rather than later.

every gesture towards a reversal is failing at the moment.
my only question right now regards how much longer china can remain tolerant of people using bitcoin to get around the capital controls.
the most important factor in this would be how much clout and wealth the people engaging in this have.

of course both are in accordance with the values of the old school bicoiners among us, but it's worth considering i think.

Bullish as fuck right now

There are never any surprises when a correction happens, just a slight bit of disappointment here.
Correction is healthy

i've been away for months dealing with, you know, life. but i've kept an eye on the price.
seems like a steady climb this time, not any sort of real sudden climb. maybe we'll hold it this time.

China too strong.

Europe exchanges trying to pull over Chinese huobi and okcoin, but Chinese are simply saying f.ck off.
This is the short brief of last 20 minutes.

LOL Who sold at the bottom?

Who is leading this 'dump'? It would be nice to see 1000$ hold.
Bearstamp has overtaken bitfinex in volume (according to bitcoinity) now a dump's started. But coinmarketcap contradicts that by showing bitfinex has twice the 24 hour volume of bearstamp.
China can't be leading it because its volume dropped since it went to sleep.

Looks like we're having another little correction before the next flight upwards. Looking good as far as I can see, consolidating as we go along!
January 02, 2017, 03:09:23 PM
Looks like under 1000 is coming. What is everyone else seeing over the next few hours?
January 02, 2017, 03:07:43 PM
It's crazy how that if BTC were any other "traditional" investment, it would be front page news of any news outlet because of its rapid appreciation. I guess we'll need to wait for another hack or some sort of FUD for BTC to be the main headline again
