RE: Bitcoin Pulls Back After Hitting $5000 USD - Why This Is A GOOD Thing!

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Well-written post.

The Chinese ICO ban is weighing on crypto prices, but there is also the 2X fork in November and that is also a major source of uncertainty. Then there's the issue of Bitcoin Cash siphoning off hashrate from the legacy chain.

The fundamentals for bitcoin are a bit mixed right now.

Sort:  

Somewhat, but I don't believe it's a reason to be too concerned long term. The free market always finds a way. But we're certainly up against a lot.
The Chinese ICO ban is ridiculous. Another slap in the face of those who wrongly call China a "free market". The technocratic state wants the future to be incredibly regulated and that includes a centrally planned cashless society.

Thanks for watching/reading! :)

A few ICOs focused on decentralized exchanges, plus, there is Lendroid + Øx, which will allow leveraged trading of ERC20 tokens, so Chinese investors will be able to freely invest in all kinds of digital assets without much effort. So I don't see what the Chinese authorities are hoping to accomplish with these ridiculous bans.
