"This is huge. Don't know how this will end. Henan bank is NOT the only one that is having problems with liquidity. All four Chinese banks are having the same issue.

The banks, which include the Yuzhou Xinminsheng Village Bank and the Shangcai Huimin Country Bank, are under investigation by the authorities for illegal fundraising, the state-run Global Times reported.

The protesters were eventually bused to various sites where Zhang said they were forced to sign a letter guaranteeing they would not gather anymore. Late Sunday, Henan banking regulators posted a short notice on their website saying that authorities are speeding up the verification of customer funds in four of the banks and the formulation of a plan to resolve the situation to protect the rights and interests of the public.

More than 1,000 depositors from across the country had planned to gather in Zhengzhou last month to try to withdraw their money but they were unable to when their COVID-19 health codes, which determine if one can travel, switched to a "no travel" status.

Just cause it's outlawed doesn't mean it's impossible to use, just means it's more risky/costly to use. Crack is outlawed and is still bought in the streets, while sending BTC is even easier to do than physically handing over crack.

In SHTF cases, yeah crypto is worthless w/o power & network, but global society is too reliant on these for it to simply go away overnight. Anyone paying attention to real red flags would have time to get their worth out of a sinking ship before it's sunk. Besides, the wealthier you are, the more diversified you should be to protect that wealth.

Trading physical coins like silver has its own risks. Do you know how to verify the purity of a silver coin to ensure it's not just a silver-looking alloy? Gonna trust the minted imprint in place of a purity test? There's a reason society moved on from those days.

Yeah... Like trafficking counterfeit money, the penalty is just above manslaughter, but you can do it, why don't you do it? We know why, and it's not because of the technical difficulty

The day they realize that any given eCoin poses an existential threat to their monopoly, you can bet your ass they'll go as far as necessary. I mean they already confiscated gold a couple of decades ago, because "this time it's different", the sky is the limit. So yeah, they inevitably go full govcoin at some point

It creeps slowly for years, and then all of a sudden. And last time I checked a bitcoin transaction wasn't particularly fast, and to buy what? Gold? Ah... Delays... Deliveries... Supply chains... Taxation... Embargo...

It's not that simple, especially for big numbers

That's not the reason why society moved away from PMs, we're talking about a system as old as antiquity that was still in place 2 centuries ago
