As of this November, China is home to the world’s largest-volume bitcoin exchange (BTC China), some of the largest mining operations, and could well be leading the global rise of bitcoin. It was in May that China surpassed all other countries with 84,000 bitcoin wallet downloads, a world record few noticed.”
