It will be interesting to see how the landscape looks the morning of 16 April 2014. Then, we might know if the rumors are true.

April 16th?

The only way that china can be remove from the equation  is that other countries lift the restrictions on cryptocurrency trading.

China have become the largest  market  for cryptocurrency due to its lack of restrictions not because of the rich people (that's true,even now,cryptocurrency trading in china is still easier than USA、UK、even japan,just days before,china can even trade bitcoin with credit card.)

So,even if the world's interest in cryptocurrency grows,if their laws still so harsh on cryptocurrency , the lost of China will effect deeply.

I wasn't saying that China was the largest market for cryptocurrency because of rich people. I was just saying that if you want to be something that 99% of the population isn't then you have to do something different than what 99% of the population is doing. That's why I gave the example about the falling prices of say Bitcoin. If the price of Bitcoin is falling that is because people are selling their Bitcoin in such a hurry. It sounds counter intuitive but you are better off if you do the opposite of what the pack is doing.

I would argue that China became the largest market for concurrency simply because they have the largest population of any nation on Earth. They have like 1.3 billion people or so while the United States which is the third most populous country only has like 320 million people. I don't think it is necessarily because they had a more relaxed regulatory environment or the purchase of cryptocurrency was easier their its just a matter of population IMO.

What needs to happen is for a critical mass to accept cryptocurrency and then it won't matter what any government or nation says.

Markets without  proper regulations is bound to have scams.What do you think the reason the world's financial crisis happen in 2008?
These are the centralize problems,they can not be solved .
Sad but true.

As for the price,if you knew average Chinese can easily set up a credit card with 10000 USD or higher credit,and put it all into bitcoin without any regulation from
the bank and without thinking,you wouldn't doubt the number .Most american I know,they investment only hundreds of USD in bitcoin ,and went through a lot of trouble.As for the
Chinese,they don't have the same restrictions,and their more risk taker than other countries (because there is no proper investment for them anyway.)  Further more ,they have little financial experiments on this subject,So,they buy bitcoins like crazy at high price,and sell it crazy when price drop just a little bit .This trading method leads to the high numbers that seems to be faked.

That being said,in my understanding,without China,there is no country provides the easiest way to trade bitcoin for a lot of people,let alone other coins.
And the sad part is ,PTS is majorly  trade in China.That's not a good sign.Some chinese are doubting why PTS is not as popular in other countries as bitcoin.
Why is that not a good sign? The reason that PTS is not very popular in the English-speaking-market is mostly lack of marketing, hardly anyone has even heard of it. It might be that the Chinese are more alert or that the marketing has been better in China.

So,we will just have to wait for the United States to catch the ball (I doubt that,US is a harsh on financial systems since 911 ,plus the tax regulation ).
or,just jump to the decentralize process with 3I 's bitshares X. (sounds too good to be true,but...I'm a sucker for dreams...)
I suspect you're not the only dreamer here. I also share the frustration about the lack of enthusiasm from governments, academia and adminstrations in general. You'd expect them to come running when a solution to so many of their digital and administrative problems are handed to them on a silver platter. I find it (borderline) criminal that my government has not ordered development and cultivation of this new technology for itself, but have no qualms about throwing heaps of money at flawed design after flawed design for digital payment systems for transportation tickets, identification, etc.

Yes it will have a big effect, nobody will doubt that.  Personally I was hoping the Chinese government would realize the potential of crypto-currencies and crypto-equities as one of the first. Now is the time to colonize this new world and now is the chance to redistribute the wealth and break the current status quo without having to fight any wars for it.
 
Any thoughts on the things Bobby Lee said during CoinSummit about Chinese exchanges faking numbers and deceiving people? (Adding extra zeros to volume, repeating past trades, selling to itself, showing non-existent orders that disappear with large market-orders causing flash crashes/spikes, plus zero-fee-trading as fuel on the fire). The most worrying statement I found was saying, in Chinese culture it's seen as OK if everyone does it.

Personally I don't completely blame China for the price tanking, my thoughts were more in line with this article, albeit not as well worded. I thought of it as up till now Bitcoin had nowhere to go and there was this dam of future speculative-potential that caused the water(price)level to rise. Now the dam has burst and bitcoin is finally starting to flow and being used, so the waterlevel has to come down. That is a positive thing, because flowing is what it was meant to do and may finally offer the general public a reason to adopt it and value to increase. This might even help achieving a higher waterlevel(pricepoint) than before, but this time instead of being an unhealthy dead-puddle it will be a raging torrent with a lot more momentum behind it.

The sell off on Bter last 2 days, from the Chinesse, has moved bitshares-pts significantly... thoughts?
Invest now or wait a little more because the pressure will continue the next days?

You want to know a secret?

You will get the same results everyone else is getting if you do the same things everyone else is doing. Think about it this way. What percentage of people are considered "rich?" Its a small percentage of the general population and part of the reason the rich are rich is because they are doing and have done something you're not.

What I'm trying to say is that if everyone else is selling their Bitshares-PTS then you should be BUYING them up at such a bargain. Then when the price goes through the roof you should be selling. :)

Its only temporary it'll rebound and go through the roof. I'm actually happy that the price is going down  8)

This means I'm able to get cheap Bitcoin and in effect cheap Bitshares-PTS also. :)

If the Ghandi quote really does apply to these development and we've already arrived at the "fight" stage, then we'll be in for a rough ride.

A lot of people that I've heard repeating the quote don't seem to realize that the fight-stage might not be a walk in the park and success might not be an obstacle free straight stroll to the finish line.

I agree that we are in or entering the 'fight' stage and that it won't be a walk in the park. Governments/central will probably kick and scream in horror as the monopoly they once enjoyed comes to an end. I would hope that they be smart enough to realize that the easier they make this transition for us the nicer we'll be to them after they have lost their monopoly.

I honestly don't know if its just rumors or fact. I'm sure that they probably do discuss and plan on how to take down or control cryptocurrency networks. There is just to much at stake for them to not want to control or shut it down. Either way it doesn't matter what the banks or governments want because these technologies benefit the 99.99% of people that don't have the privilege of printing money and reaping the benefits of it.

It could also be that there a lot of Chinese trading in PTS because Invictus initially received funding from Bitfund which is Chinese.

With centralized exchanges shut down in China something like Bit shares should have explosive growth. I see this as good news for all of us  8)

The more that governments of the world and central banks fight us the more publicity and support we gain. In the end they won't stand a chance and we will win. Just like we have won when it came to p2p filesharing.

Is it a proven fact that China is officially banning Bitcoin? I have only seen rumors.
