The Chinese government has been blowing hot, then cold on Bitcoin for years. Nobody can work out what's going on in their minds. With a 10 billion dollar market capitalisation Bitcoin's small change to the Chinese government. In 2015 it was estimated that one trillion dollars was moved out of China. Bitcoin's not big enough to move that much money.

Yes, they most certainly have. It seems like at first they indeed just wanted to slow things down. Again, I don't think they want to come right out and ban stuff - that is bad in multiple ways (e.g. their image, it attracts more attention, etc.)

True, Bitcoin is teeny tiny, but how long do any of you think it would take to get to a Trillion dollar market cap? I don't think it would be that long once the supply starts to dry up (both with the halving and just holding). I think we will see a 100 billion dollar market cap in the next 3-5 years, but a lot of that depends on the global situation. I could see a Trillion in 10 years. This is NOT going to be linear growth and there are variables at play that we are just starting to realize.

So, imagine they "take" her to a trillion in market cap in 5 years, with 15 million coins out there (much less due to loss and such) that is price of near $70,000. I just don't think that is crazy for what is sort of analogous to a "stock" with 15 million shares and with a world of uses, oh, but it is one of the only "stocks" like it in the world.

Oh, and it would be great if Satoshi appears around that time and sends micro payments to poor areas of the world, just spreading global wealth.

Honestly, I DON'T think we CAN understand what this is before our feet.

Its about sharing
