Fake News: China Lifts Bitcoin Ban; Individuals and Businesses Can Now Own Cryptocurrencies Legally

in #china6 years ago (edited)

I just came across this news article claiming crypto has been legalized in China.

https://www.btcnn.com/china-lifts-bitcoin-ban-individuals-and-businesses-can-now-own-cryptocurrencies-legally

According to the post it is now legal tow own cryptocurrency and for businesses to accept them.

That would seem a huge reversal and open the door for exchanges in china again.

Can anyone confirm this? It seems like huge news ro me that ought to move the needle quite a bit

Update

Thanks to @vimukthi for pointing out that this is not really correct. I was wondering why this was not bigger news.

Indeed

China was just waiting for the right low price to grab a bunch of Bitcoin. China wants control of the future coins

Or maybe it is trying to make sure its citizens grab a bunch of BTC at the right price
