I still am trying to figure out what the big deal is for China. My first BTC was purchased by sending money to Virwox to buy Linden dollars to then buy BTC. Cost me 10% more than the market rate, but I found a way to get BTC. Now Coinbase is how I get BTC. In the United States it seems to be the most reliable and convenient way of getting fairly priced BTC and even then some banks like Chase bank have been known to freeze deposits. My point is, how can the Chinese government possibly stop the flow of BTC into China without preventing the CNY from moving around internationally and being exchanged for other currency. I realize that the cost to them may be a little higher but since the world seems to follow China that could oddly drive up prices bit by bit as CNY finds its way into BTC because the realized cost would always be more than present market price. I know, I just went down the deep end of speculation without a life vest.
