The second is that, traditionally, high net-worth individuals and investors first go to the property market to invest and then the stock market, but since the property market is capped and controlled and stocks maybe aren’t doing so well that’s changing,’ Yang said. ‘After we had the China Central Television piece [on bitcoin in March] people here know about bitcoin and are putting their money into it.'”
