Chinas state-controlled television station, CCTV.com, recently hosted a segment breaking down
Bitcoin, according to a prominent trader that closely follows the regions cryptocurrency scene.
China's state controlled television explaining the basics of "first ever
blockchain technology" #bitcoin $btc, and how a distributed ledger works
Imagine 1.3 billion people got to know bitcoin because state made an effort to explain how it works.
I think the country is expanding regarding the benefits of blockchain and not exactly bitcoin. some argue that bitcoin is blockchain but this isn't true. Bitcoin is merely a currency created over distributed ledger system blockchain is very big and generic china wants to familiarise their country with this new technology and not bitcoin.
