Can China use bitcoin
although bitcoin still has great risks, after years of development, with the increase of its application population, application scenarios and application technology, no country or organization can completely eliminate it. If you can figure it out, it is likely that countries will generally accept bitcoin and embrace it
according to my personal judgment, bitcoin, after a period of continuous development, is likely to become a world currency in the future, which can play the role of electronic gold and become the target of the value of other sovereign currencies. From this perspective, bitcoin can be used as a means of asset preservation in the future when inflation is inevitable
Unfortunately, bitcoin is no longer tradable in mainland China. Bitcoin China announced that it will stop all trading business on September 30, 2017
development information:

the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto on November 1, 2008, and was officially born on January 3, 2009. According to the idea of Nakamoto, the open source software is designed and released, and the P2P network on it is constructed. Bitcoin is a virtual encrypted digital currency in the form of P2P. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
since September 4, 2017, China has expressed its opposition to the virtual currency exchange
on the market, the large-scale exchanges are graally fading out of the domestic market, some of them are going to Japan and some of them are going to Nanyang. Of course, with the release of the new regulations in Hong Kong in early November, we believe that the virtual currency exchange may obtain a legal license in Hong Kong in the future to serve the local institutional investors
