Every day, a man from China comes into my house and monitors everything I do with bitcoin.
However, it has been rather beneficial, because when I take him to the local Chinese restaurant for lunch - being a native speaker and all - the service is better.
How you mean a man from CHina comes to your house and monitor everything you with bitcoin? Am I crazy, or I do not understand what you wish to say with this. I`m curios what will you explain this, cause looks only benefit you have is better service in local Chinese restaurant.
No, you should replace China with Japan now, Japanese is pumping bitcoin and the trading volume is the largest now. Japan is the bitcoin leader, mtgox was located in Japan.
China is collectively the largest, if mtgox could be pumping bitcoin then china can also do it and impact is bigger than mtgox. Remeber before the Chinese new year or 2 months ago, they sell bitcoin and made prices drop up to 30%.
Here we talk about how much can some country pump the price, and here is important consumer power of the people in some country. I think Japanese can spend more money on bitcoins, they can spent much more money on everything.
