Well, people said that Cyprus was a test for Europe. They tested how people react when the government takes their money. People who said this got called conspirancy theorists. As so often. And as so often, those conspirancy theorists were right.

yes yes.... its all a conspiracy.......

current movement with china tanking says otherwise. For the poor bitcoin is out of reach, but for the rich, you are going to watch while your fortunes disappear?

The rich have land, property and other assets. Bitcoin is microscopic and painfully illiquid. It has the future potential to be something special but I think it's naive to think of it as a genuine contender in its present condition.

It's decades away from being any type of safe haven, if ever. It'll be the first thing to go in anyone's portfolio if times become hard. If your choice is being homeless or hanging on to one's bet for a future which may never arrive then I'd go for a roof over my head.

As of jan 1st 2016 it became legal for the banks to raid private accounts in euro countries. Forget china, the entire western world is about to collapse.

Any links for this? I recall them working on it but have not seen anything since then.

In fact I used those exact words at the time. They wanted to see what they could get away with, and now they know, and so they will do it.

Interesting. Pretty shitty law.

I did see something about a year ago where they want to change the wording of bank deposits to investments. That way the money you deposit is no longer your money, you have given it to the bank to invest as they wish. If they lose money while investing your money, they will not be held accountable legally.
An investment with a 0% return is a pretty shitty investment.

So far the largest financial crisis to impact Bitcoin has been Cyprus. What a tiny tiny tiny tiny little country.

What happens when China plummets...........

Yeah i think if china goes the world is going to change at least for a while.  I run my current business mostly around buying crap from china like a gazillion other people.  I'd like to see what happens.

China is where 99% of the mining goes on. So if china goes down bitcoin may well collapse.  Huh
I dont think they have 99% mining power, can you provide a link where it is stated ?  Huh

no in fact they own 60% only, maybe this % is bigger now, but is nowhere near 80% let alone 99%

Didn't happen, will not happen. Much more complicated than this. Government can take money from your account to repay bank debts, but only accounts with more than 100k€

So not a lot of people!
The rules are what they are until they change, which they will as soon as it becomes convenient. Link incoming.

The Chinese market went down to the red marks yesterday and bitcoin went up while this happened.
So I think the opposite will happen with bitcoin when the china goes down.

Well the Chinese had to deal with some losses, they closed their markets earlier than usual, I guess what would happen is that whenever something goes down, bitcoin goes up again.

shutting down those miners would be the best thing that happened.....

Just don't ban bitcoin please

Do you think PBOC will sit and watch china-man evade the yuan control through btc?

They'll force close down chinese exchanges at the very least should btc gain traction as an evasion method.

LOL, another clueless person who has no idea about China.  China would be the last country to plummet.  US media/propaganda likes you to believe that, but China is far from even being in a recession.  China won't plummet in any of our life times.  USA or UK on the other hand, who knows...

Indeed, their growth is just less than previous years. Their growth is slowing down, not their economy.

Pumps like this are not likely from fleeing people though, more likely some single buyers who draw in the day traders.

sure, we need more independent miners, not just those Chinese miners.
we want decentralization, instead of mining power centralization in bitcoin.
