China specifically instructed them to not miss bond payments to western nation investors. Those who do not do what the Chinese govt. instructs usually assume room temperature.

China also banned ANY Crypto transactions this morning, sending Bitcoin, and the secondary coinage, into a dive.

China Declares All Virtual Currency Transactions "Illegal"


if only you had the ability to send it P2P without the need of a trusted intermediary

oh wait

Seriously is this like the ten thousandth or ten thousandth and first time they’ve banned crypto?

Read the original thread

So this is like Bear Stearns/Lehman type meltdown of 08?

This may be the tip of China fricking the world again, KK. Evergrande is the start of a bigger problem that China has created by letting companies rack up massive debts.

They can enforce banking and IP bans on it very easily

I mentioned Blackstone has exposure to Evergrande debt since they own some of it. They also have $9 Trillion under management. This will hurt them but not kill them.

My theory on crypto is they know their real estate bubble is going to pop and people might flock to Bitcoin as a save haven asset and can’t have that.

Yea I get it. We all hate China but this has the potential to do a lot of damage globally so once again China may put the screws to the rest of the world.

They're going to get it a lot worse, though. When China became the focus, circa Trump 2016, people wouldn't listen that they weren't a threat to us anytime soon b/c their bubble was going to pop sooner or later. When that happens, everyone will feel pain, but China is going to REALLY slide back.

Your theory is likely correct but China has the ability to really impact crypto. I mean they have government-approved social media. They control the networks and will impose decades-long imprisonment if necessary.

as far as I know they’ve been fighting a war on VPNs for a long time yet people still find a way to use them there

or you could just leave the country temporarily, use a fiat on ramp and make your investment and HODL.

Not saying they haven’t made it harder to obtain them or access fiat on ramps, but where there is a will, there is a way.

The thing with China is they will play the long game. You want to leave to transact crypto? You won't get back in or won't be able to use public services if you do get back in.
