This is the seventh time since 2013 that the ChiComm apes have banned Bitcoin. Now that the Commies have shaken out the weak hands, they’ll swoop in and buy.

Already started, last year. In April 2020, China also began testing its own electronic currency—the e-CNY, or digital yuan—a project that could put the government in more direct competition both with cryptocurrencies and with corporate payments systems.

Just the beginning. There will never be a currency not controlled by government, who thought they could have that?

Bitcoin is currently 42k.

Bitcoin is bigger than China.

Bitcoin owners better create an army, or they will be crushed like a bug.

Government “crpyto” isn’t crypto. It is little more than a digital method to use the national fiat currency. That make government crypto basically a sort of debit card.

Turning off the power or the internet would prevent all money transactions. When the power comes back up, Cryptocurrency (as an open distributed ledger) would be back instantly while all non cryptocurrency accounts will be utterly impossible validate.

Seems like a lot of things are making bitcoin fall these days? One nation accepts it as currency, and it supposedly causes the price to drop, then another bans it, causing price to drop.

It’s like the confluence of rivers - strong currents hitting each other and creating massive volatility.

I think it’s best to choose an amount of money you can risk and let it ride the river. Ignore the days and weeks. Look at months and years.

In other words, HODL.

We took our initial investment out, after a big run up. It is all not “house money.”

Our strategy now is HODL!

1) Forging transport invoices and shipping contracts

2) Forging trade records

3) Re-using invoices

4) Faking transaction amounts for customs

5) Putting money in other people’s accounts and asking them to transfer money in installments

6) Going through underground banks

7) Using invalid custom clearance forms

8) Creating false reasons to explain to banks the need for transfers
9) Diamonds and other compact items of high value
10) Chinese Cultural Societies or Tongs

And if you happen to own bitcoin. You can leave in your underwear, and when you arrive somewhere else, simply log on to a computer and you brought all your money with you.

—”and when you arrive somewhere else, simply log on to a computer and you brought all your money with you.”

How is this different from any online account at Robinhood or MLPFS...?

Bitcoin seems to be operating outside of causal influences at the moment, like the TulipMania in Holland... for a while at least.
