A million laissez faire enthusiasts rage into their beer as their dreams of anonymity and "minimal" Gov disappear.

It's like bitcoin but without burning the planet, criminal enterprises and neoliberal politics.



It's also bang on time. Well done China.
Anyway, should be interesting to hear all the bitcoin enthusiasts explain why it won't work, why anonymity matters, spreading FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) ... blah blah. Just like the old data centre providers when faced with Amazon etc.
The sad part is the US will probably take its time, be convinced of the virtues (aka lobbying) of bitcoin and will get itself into all sorts of difficulty over taxation as bitcoin runs riot and delivers its payload of stagnation as we all discover why minimal Gov is a bad idea.
So, well played China.

Good to see someone has a clue.
X : What about UK?
Me : We'll do ok. We had one shot to change the system and create a truly competitive collective on an international scale. That shot was Corbyn. We blew it. C'est la vie. If you want radical change, if you want to see the future - all eyes on China.
