Kripto računi začasno ustavljeni na kitajskem Twitterju, enakovredni razbijanju

Kitajski ekvivalent Twitterja naj bi začasno ustavil veliko število računov, povezanih s kriptovalutami.

Colin Wu, novinar, ki deluje pod Twitterjevim ročajem @WuBlockchain, je 5. junija izjavil, da je bilo blokiranih več računov KOL za kriptovalute na Weibu. Wu sklicevali na to kot "najstrožje suspenzije kripto v zgodovini."

Rekel je tudi, "da je to lahko odgovor na politiko zatiranja v Pekingu."

This tweet was the first in a thread. Wu went on to share that the blocked accounts included those of “China’s most famous Defi leaders” and “many famous traders.”

Weibo, or Sina Weibo, is a Chinese microblogging site, and one of the country’s biggest social media platforms. In March 2021, it recorded 230 million daily active users on average.

Od objave začetne teme je Wu podrobneje opisal suspenzije v še ena serija tweetov.

“Chinese social media and media are managed by the Propaganda Department. As for cracking down on Bitcoin transactions, the official media are attacking collectively. Therefore, the current ban on social media accounts and content involving cryptocurrency is continuous.

“However, the Central Bank’s crackdown on exchanges, the varnost department’s crackdown on money laundering, and the energy bureau’s crackdown on mining have not yet been issued.

"Trenutno je nemogoče napovedati, ali bodo ti oddelki uvedli politike zatiranja in intenzivnost, ker so njihove razprave notranje in zasebne."

Odnos Kitajske ima posledice

As Wu speculates, this move could be the latest China has made against the crypto space in recent weeks. On May 18, the country U-turned on its accepting attitude towards cryptocurrencies, instead deciding to ban Chinese financial institutions from participating in crypto services.

Many have subsequently regarded the ban as one of the potential root causes for the crypto price collapse on May 19.

The country also turned its attention to crypto mining amid its crackdown. China accounted for 65% of the bitcoin hash rate, kot so poročali 22. maja. By May 24, several crypto mining pools such as BTC.TOP and HashCow suspended their operations in China.

However, many believe the decision to stop mining will actually prove beneficial to the crypto space in the long run. The crypto mining process has come under fire for its effects on the environment. As such, a prohibition on standard mining practice hopes to open doors for green alternatives.
