BTCC was founded in 2011 and is now one of China's largest bitcoin exchange platforms. According to its CEO Bobby Lee, Chinese people like the 'online gambling' feel of bitcoin's instability; also, with the Chinese government's restrictions on many investment channels, people welcome new ways to invest their money. Yes, online gambling. |

I've read a few stories lately that predict it won't last much longer, we shall see. Bitcoins only have value because enough people decided they do, that could change overnight. I had a crack at litecoin a while back and almost broke even, there's a narrow window of opportunity for home miners on most coins and I missed it. It is a crazy scheme in hindsight, basically it turns electricity into currency at an ever increasing difficulty while not actually producing anything. |
