“If the Chinese government intends to steer the country toward being an effective post-industrial economy, then offering increased economic freedom and a pro-innovation environment is the way to go. Perhaps there is indeed an ‘avant garde’ in the Chinese government, which sees Bitcoin as a place to make one of its first moves. Or, perhaps, China’s Bitcoin-friendliness is still simply the result of government blindness, and a crackdown is due to come in two or four months. But with every passing week the alternative hypothesis is becoming increasingly likely; perhaps China’s Bitcoin acceptance has more behind it than meets the eye.”
