And an influx of Chinese investment in Bitcoin is very definite contributory factor to the recent price surge. Baidu’s corporate stature may well be giving Bitcoin’s perceived legitimacy a boost in China. It’s also clearly helping to increasing BTC trading volumes in the country by giving a chunk of its customer base the option to pay in Bitcoin: Forex Magnates noted last week that China’s largest Bitcoin exchange, BTC China, had more than doubled following the Baidu news.”
