For Fuck sake it went to $650 early. It is dropping like no tomorrow. I think China is selling their bitcoins since they can't use them.

What do you mean they can't use them Smiley)

It's not fiat
Companies in China were also banned from pricing things in BTC, i.e. you can't treat it as a real currency in China.  That's why Baidu had to pull Bitcoin acceptance.

Unfortunately while you can still speculate in China it's not going to be able to take off as a viable currency in China because of this stupid ass ruling so until they change their mind it's pretty much prevented what was a very, very, promising start in China.  What we need are Chinese folks who will do what the Bitcoiners here did before congress-lobby the hell out of their politicians to make Bitcoin work.  

People should first understand that the hype was about what could China bring.
Bitcoins weren't even used as a currency , baidu subsidiary got 30 spam transactions in two month , that's all.
The whole picture wasn't affected by the ruling , just dream of what may happen.
