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?

this is what happens when the algos are reading the headlines....
If this was algo interpreted we'd have had a much more sudden reaction.

It was Bloomberg that had the most sensational Twitter post. December 05, 2013, 03:34:56 AM

The actual story: http://in.reuters.com/article/2013/12/05/china-bitcoin-idINDEE9B405S20131205?type=economicNews
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.

That's not a ban. This is a knee jerk reaction. probably someone at reuters has a bunch of bids at 800

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.

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.
December 05, 2013, 03:32:03 AM
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
