Hold on a second:

Bloomberg Twitter - "BREAKING: China bans financial institutions from Bitcoin transactions"

Reuters - "China's central bank warned on Thursday that financial institutions should not trade the digital currency bitcoin, saying that while it does not yet pose a threat to China's financial system, it carries risks."

Uh, so... financial institutions banned, or warned?

The Chinese Gov "said however that ordinary individuals were free to use bitcoin, so long as they took on the risk themselves."

I guess that's not that grimm after all.

Eh, this really doesn't seem like a big deal.
It will be portrayed as a huge deal though, to attempt to incite a panic.

Per ardua ad luna

tldr version;

Not banning Bitcoin at all; Central bank recommending banks don't use it until risks are better understood.  It's still fine for individuals etc.

Eh, this really doesn't seem like a big deal. China is cautioning financial institutions not to mess around with Bitcoin.

If China didn't like Bitcoin they'd have taken much stronger action.

Guess we get to find out where the support is though  Smiley
