A week ago, President Xi of China has urged the Chinese to seize opportunities in the crypto market and blockchain industry. The announcement caught the market by surprise and drive the price of Bitcoin up until $10, 000. I personally believe that with the participation of Chinese, it is undoubtedly that the adoption rate would be greatly increased. But, wouldn't it subject the Chinese projects to be under the influence of Communist Party of China? What are your thoughts on this one?

It won't have any effect. "Blockchain" is just a buzzword being used by politicians, leaders and start-ups to burnish their tech credentials.

The essentials for a successful cryptocurrency are a) can you trust it and b) is it liquid enough for you to be able to either use it in commerce or cash out into fiat to pay bills.

I doubt anyone outside China will trust a coin issued by the Chinese govt and I doubt such a coin would get listed on western exchanges.
