China is afraid. Bit-coin is an unregulated way of moving money out of China and they are known for keeping the movement of money in and out of china under very strict control.

The only way of regaining this control is by forcing all major companies to ban bit-coin.

You think the companies are happy about this they were making a very nice profit from the transactions.



Right. China still has currency controls on the RMB. Makes it a pain for me to move it out of China en masse, not that I've tried yet.


It's obviously a matter of controlling the flow of money (or capital in general). I fail to understand how anyone thinks this demonstrates a flaw or shortcoming of Bitcoin.


If you find an ant taking a crumb of bread from under your table you aren't afraid. You're annoyed. Let's not lose perspective here.


Bitcoin is spelled without a hyphen.
