“The number of bitcoin traders in China increased dramatically in November as the virtual currency’s value rose to US$1,100. More than half of the new traders are women, according to Chinese bitcoin trading platform Huobi and the Beijing Morning Post. Huobi CEO Li Lin said the makeup of Chinese bitcoin traders changed a great deal in November. In the past most were people working at the IT or financial sectors, while newcomers over the past month have been from every walk of life and over half of them female. The trading website’s customer service has expanded from three receptionists to ten but still struggled to cope with the number of newcomers.”
