RE: Breaking news: China's Central Bank bans Initial Coin Offerings

in #bitcoin7 years ago

You shouldve put that whole sketch up from southpark. China has done something like this numerous times over the years, that sketch is about when china attempted to ban bitcoin. Short term this is important but long term I don't see this having any effect on crypto

Sort:  

The biggest sketch is running the biggest ponzi debt bubble the world has ever seen and then 'regulate' ICOs because 'stability threat'.

But I welcome this sector growing up. Makes people think more clearly before launching bank ICO. Wishing regulators be gone is wishful thinking.

I agree, crypto is a completely new thing that governments really don't know what to do with. It is essentially the internet 2.0. Governments may try to ban certain aspects or regulate others, but it will be much more difficult than traditional banking systems.

What is this pocketsend thing?
