Another Bubble Bursts - Bitcoin China Crashes Over 30%
First it was Chinese stocks, then Chinese real estate (twice), then Chinese commodities (twice), and now Chinese Bitcoin's bubble has burst as a massive short squeeze on the offshore Yuan combined with comments on 'virtual' capital controls has sparked a bloodbath in the cryptocurrency from 8,896 yuan to 6,101 yuan in the last few hours...a 31% collapse.
Despite the collapse - BTC China is only back at 2 week lows...
For those chasers, don't say we did not warn you, as we noted previously, for those buying into bitcoin here on the momentum, most of which originates in China, we urge readers to be cautious as by now the PBOC has certainly noticed that the digital currency remains one of the final, and most successful, means of bypassing capital controls in China. Should Beijing mandate that bitcoin no longer be a means to illegally transfer capital offshore, there is risk of a dramatic, and sharp, drop in its price.Also at ZeroHedge:
