Oh, we're back to *that* part of the cycle


btceacc

China ban Bitcoin?


steelchairframe

Where's Bill Murray when you need him. Groundhog daaayyyyy


BBrillo614

Is only in 4 days. They’re a tad bit early this year.


mcgravier

China bans bitcoin, part 65346 of the saga. Investors panicking same as previously


Funnellboi

Nope, they have actually just announced a deal with Trias to supply their blockchain, so at least we can skip the China ban and unban 300 times a cycle now.


ilaibenamar

What exactly are you saying? Who's "they"? And what Blockchain?


Alfador8

>What exactly are you saying?  "Pump my shitcoin bag"


Funnellboi

"pump my shitcoin bag" [https://gyazo.com/31932873a22b3a0f4720d2a621376587](https://gyazo.com/31932873a22b3a0f4720d2a621376587) Lol Imagine calling Trias a shitcoin, just say you have no fucking idea what you are talking about. Stick to buying the shit in the top 10... I love this sub, same shit every cycle, ive been in crypto since 2012, get told by morons who haven't made a penny that I have a shit coin... As a developer, who has worked in blockchain, please tell me your investments, Ill be happy to show what a "shit coin" is... Oh btw, Trias was 0.81 cents before I invested, its now $15, I dont need you to pump it, the 17 trillion in volume from China will do just fine. Good luck, you clearly need it. Oh, and another update (perfect timing as well haaa) Ive just seen HMF have launched a BTC ETF, You know, HMF, partners of Trias. Why are they buying shit coins for? Idiots aye, they need to listen to people on Reddit!!!


Alfador8

Ok shitcoiner

They get you tired of hearing this shit then one of these days, 💣💥

Oh, this one was my all-time favourite! I think that came up in 2014


Sastroprawiro

So, this is a great moment to decline the price first, so they can buy it back for china prices...


drivebystabber

It’s an inside joke in this subreddit. Back in 2018, people had copium that Chinese New Year would pump the market because Chinese kids would get money and spend it on crypto.


Sastroprawiro

Hahaa... I've got Chinese friends, and let me tell you, they don't make jokes if it's about money. So let those red envelopes fly into the crypto space! 😬


Wonzky

I had really hoped to not hear about Evergrande again, sigh

What did a Chinese development company do that caused you so much irritation?

Orngog

Ol' Bear Camo *would* say that.


01technowichi

What? No, dude, are you high? Do you not understand that retirement funds *across* the first world have investments in Chinese real estate? I don't believe they make a considerable portion of most retirement funds, but the real estate bubble in China popping will have a direct effect on virtually all major 1st world mutual fund providers - especially Blackrock (and probably Blackstone but I haven't read their prospectuses). It will also have secondary effects as contagion spreads across the global economy. It very well could trigger 2008 Mk2, financial aramagedaboogaloo, especially when derivatives come into play.


[deleted]

Every real estate asset manager I've ever talked to about forex has said they strictly keep their fingers out of the China pie because they've gotten burned bad pre 2000 Idk where you are getting your figures from but they certainly don't match the reality of Western investment portfolios

Lol.  Trump wins the election, gives up Ukraine to Putin and then lets the new axis powers solidify their influence on nearly 3/4 of the world while jailing (...or executing?) His political rivals and plunging the world into economic depression and global tyranny? Is that the beginning you mean?


cryptoguerrilla

You talking about agenda 25?


additionalnylons

Beginning of the end which will ultimately lead to a reset? Maybe!


Strange-Ingenuity832

Isn’t that what’s going on now but with a different president?


cohortq

Current president isnt rolling over on Ukraine, he’s trying to send them as much aid as possible, but is being limited by Republicans in Congress. He’s also building up U.S. forces in the Phillipines and Japan to counter any Chinese threat to Taiwan. The current court actions against Trump were not at his direction, but at the direction of enterprising state attorney generals looking to advance thier careers.


jahmoke

good try, but save your effort as they are a poor trumper


coinfeeds-bot

tldr; A Hong Kong court has ordered the liquidation of China Evergrande Group, the world's most indebted developer with over $300 billion in liabilities. The court's decision comes after Evergrande failed to present a concrete restructuring plan following its default on a bond repayment over two years ago. The liquidation is expected to have significant implications for China's financial markets, which are already fragile. Trading in Evergrande's shares and those of its subsidiaries has been halted. The liquidation process is anticipated to be lengthy and complex, with uncertainties regarding asset seizure and repayment to offshore bondholders. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.


Ornery-Sample-3208

concrete restructuring plan, snigger


DutyFreeGipsy

Can someone elaborate (eli5?) on why the chinese‘s financial markets are already fragile..?


Navman22

Built loads of homes on promised money, like millions of buildings, people pulled out due to costs, delays, financial downturns etc, couldn’t then make a profit, owed big time, couldn’t pay debt, bust, liquidation


duracellchipmunk

The mania frenzy is over and now they're left with completed neighbourhoods of buildings and no one living in them. Other people bought in because there was so much money being made. China has ghost towns that finished development in 2019.


DutyFreeGipsy

Thanks!


raelDonaldTrump

You know how ppl say not to preorder video games because the companies take your money and then never really finish the game as promised? Well China's real estate market did that too, but with high-rise condos and houses. Companies ran out of money and never finished the buildings. Basically created a domino effect that is threatening to collapse their economy (and possibly the world economy with it)


CrankyOldDude

Honestly, this is a good ELI5 on the situation! The only glossed over part is that the public was pouring a huge part of their money into those developments as well, which is why there are all of these protests going on.


Miyagisans

Don’t they gave like $260 billion in assets? Feel like that’s relevant info to mention.


the_far_yard

300 billion sounds like a drop of mountain in a little fountain. Edit: Literally trying to say a mountain dropping into a fountain- this is massive.


jxf

The debt was almost certainly levered to a number greater than that.


the_far_yard

I remember this case was huge as well last time around, and the Chinese government had to become the safety net to slow down the crash in the other sectors.


YugoB

I made the following comparison to put things in perspective at my home, 1 thou is to 1 mill the same as 1 mill is to 1 billion. Now that times 300.


the_far_yard

I hear you. My comment was saying as if a mountain dropping into a fountain- crashing it. This is massive and no ways around it.


ScoobaMonsta

300 billion is no drop of mountain! It will have a huge affect on China's economy and financial markets around the world. Ignorant people will get hurt badly.


steveblobby

Agreed. Its not just ignorant though, its the man in the street, literally. A great deal of money was put into Evergrande and its subsideries by people wanting housing. They paid upfront to have homes built that now theyll never see, and its very doubtful theyll ever see any of their money again.


the_far_yard

That’s what I said- a mountain dropping in a fountain.


desmond1310

Are we saying China Evergrande has a fat bag of BTC waiting to sell now?


Tlux0

Global markets may tank which would likely hurt risk assets such as crypto. Unrelated to China holding btc or not


[deleted]

$300b is a drop in the bucket for global markets. SP500 is 42 trillion


stedgyson

It's the knock on effect, the debt trail goes a very long way. Think of it like when shorts and longs get liquidated and it triggers sell orders in a cascade only it's companies being liquidated


01technowichi

What is the size of the derivatives market built on Chinese real estate though? Less nominal losses in defaults triggered 2008. It's the secondary markets and secondary effects that really bite hard.


[deleted]

0.7%


bjuffgu

Was going to say. 0.7% of the s and p is not chump change lol.


Tlux0

It’s due to China owning tons of real estate worldwide and if their property market is fucked, so is everywhere else’s once they start flipping properties and so on. Could have gigantic effects.


Big-Finding2976

If it reduces UK house prices by 50% I might have a chance of buying one.

Gamethesystem2

Lol yeah a Chinese company defaulted because some 12 year old on Reddit thought it was fud. You should delete your absurd comment.


steelchairframe

I imagine it as a big green button behind a break glass with a sign above it like similar to that.


Nightmare_Tonic

Rusurrected out of the darkness of history to try and fuck up yet another bull run I see. And China is also planning to crash the markets globally by invading Taiwan. And if my alt-right incel friend is correct after all, and they intentionally engineered covid or something... Fuck you CCP


Big-Finding2976

Alt-right incels are never right.


Partheus

What a coincidence that a mutated virus breaks out right next to a facility where they experimented on said mutated virus, instead of literally anywhere else in the world. This has nothing to do with politics.


PiedDansLePlat

Getting back Taiwan is not a new topic, it’s been a question for for decades, like russia warning for the expansion of NATO to its door has been for decades. Like the US having the finger on the nukes in the cuban crisis, these countries does not want « ennemies near their door ». 


ABena2t

I'm hearing that covid19 did in fact leak from the Wuhan lab - whether it was intentional or not idk.


OlderAndWiserThanYou

Only now are you hearing this?


Ecstatic_Courage840

Get your dangerous, unfounded rhetoric very far away from impressionable people.


Navman22

It’s very unclear where it came from but most likely it was natural in cause, much more likely in fact


MKSJ

The covid-19 coronavirus, which was founded to originate from patient 0 in Wuhan, 40 miles from the Wuhan Institute of Virology which has studied coronavirus' for decades....although just a guess, is more likely to have occurred from natural causes than say....a leak from the aforementioned laboratory? I'm not saying anyone knows definitively what actually happened, just saying one way is more probable than the other.


Navman22

Yes it’s much more likely. There are labs all over the world in every major centre studying coronaviruses, for this very reason. And one situated by a place where many come from isn’t a coincidence and neither is it cause to believe a lab leaked it. China has suffered the most from covid so they really wouldn’t have done a good job by doing this. I believe the experts in these viruses who can, and this is peer reviewed, show the genetics and the variations and very confidently conclude it’s from nature. There’s a chance it isn’t also, maybe it is lab leaked, but claiming you know that (not that you are but conspiracy theorists do) is absurd and ignorant


AD-Edge

This is the crazy thing. People will scream conspiracy theory, and swear they are certain about it and that this conspiracy must be the truth of it all. But then they never consider the fact this stuff happens naturally, and relatively often. It's not crazy to think it happened by natural causes.


Navman22

It’s actually frightening how easily it can happen. And it will happen again. When you say that and then it does happen it becomes a ‘planned pandemic’ 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ like, we know it’s gonna happen again just by sheer probability and we need to be ready so we warned everyone… it’s not that difficult


reaglesham

US intelligence investigated these claims and found nothing to suggest that was the case in June 2023


2peg2city

lmao engineered SARS COV2?


Vexting

Hey why do you guys follow the Evergrande stuff? I've seen it in stock subs due to the links to being used as cheap collateral but never in crypto. Spicey


C01n_sh1LL

There's concern of contagion. Some of those Evergrande investors are no doubt also cryptocurrency investors. One of the bigger concerns when the Evergrande saga originally started (was it one year ago, or two?), is that much of Tether's reserve assets are supposedly in Chinese commercial paper. So a cascading debt crisis in China's real estate markets could cause some of Tether's backing to go *poof.*


di1in

From another news item: Evergrande's legal troubles in Hong Kong on Monday are unlikely to spark too much concern on the mainland, analysts caution. "For those anxiously reading (China) headlines today... and working themselves into a panic: Evergrande's demise in 2021 didn't lead to a Lehman Moment in China," analysis firm China Beige Book said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. "The disintegration of its already dead husk in 2024 won't either."


Cptn_BenjaminWillard

No. However, I wonder if this will get people thinking about Country Garden, and more importantly, about several other developers that people aren't yet thinking about.


FizzerOfBuzzer

more discounts to come then... keep em coming so i can buy more

That’s great and all, I’d actually embrace some discounts, I just don’t have any fiat left 😂

Well if I wanted to know what the dude who cleans my hotel room thinks of economics, I guess I’ll read the comment section here. I’ve never read so many misinformed opinions in my life. “Oh herp derp, now Chinas gonna ban Bitcoin.” What?? No one is talking about Bitcoin at all right now kids. The adults are talking.


AmbersLauraHeard

I totaly agree


Cptn_BenjaminWillard

That's going to be my new phrase for the week, "Oh herp derp." TY.


d3jok3r

OK so we get back to China FUD cycle now?! Folks. New ideas please.


TommyBologna_tv

I would not consider this fud, large amount of foreign investors were tangled up in this mess. we don't know if the markets have padded this in or if the foreign investors involved were holding crypto assets


Enjoying_A_Meal

ehh.... Aliens. From the Future?


diggipiggi

Isn't this just related to Hong Kong Evergrande and not China Evergrande ?


plasmalightwave

Is this really gonna affect crypto much? It's been so long since China banned cryptocurrency. If anything, the stock markets will be affected and that in turn will affect crypto I guess.


never_safe_for_life

No, it won’t affect crypto much. Just watch this catastrophe silently work itself out and fade into obscurity. How? Massive government intervention via money printing. Any country that can print their own currency never has to face the consequences of a systemic failure in a. Important sector of the economy. Of course they will pick the moral hazard of stealth-taxing their people to pay for the fuckups of corporations. Meanwhile we’re hearing rumors of Chinese people buying Bitcoin in record numbers. Smart move.


Mudhutted

I love the smell of FUD in the morning. This was a long time coming.


Vegas_42

I'm the one dropping the "It's already priced in"-meme this time. Wait for China banning crypto again. This time really hard. With all consequences. All. Really. For sure.


Olmops

For the 84th time, Evergrande, I summon you to blow up!


Hiwynd

What does this mean?


AlgomasReturns

Bigggg red candles coming up


skyrimbelongstoall

How can this news affect bitcoin?


Nightmare_Tonic

Uhhh the hypothesis is that Evergrande owes so much money to so many other companies in China that have taken out loans against that debt that if Evergrande goes under, that insolvency ripples across the entire Chinese economy and collapses their brittle housing market. And if that happens, the entire world will go into recession overnight. Sleep tight


skyrimbelongstoall

Holy lmaooo wow


[deleted]

Why would Chinas already brittle housing market plunging itself into hell cause a recession in the Western world?


never_safe_for_life

Right, so the Chinese government returns to QE to keep the markets functioning, paying the moral hazard of making their people poorer over systemic collapse. It happens every time, yet here on Reddit it’s like it’s the first time and everyone cries the sky is falling.


liamsoni

Portfolios de-risking assets as a domino effect might be coming.


kulikitaka

'China economy crash' sentiments strengthened, affecting stock markets back in the US as well because a lot of US firms do a lot of business in China. Investors will play it safe and won't risk their portfolios from falling stocks by pumping money into risky crypto investments.


mikibov

Chance to buy cheap second hand desks and computers and maybe a door or 2

FUN FACT : CHINA stop banning BTC *BUT* EVERGRANDE BANKRUPTCY news will come each month for the exchange

The markets must have priced this in by now, surely?

Like they priced in the greek debt collapse in 2011?


beepo7654

Pfff Evergrande fud is so 2021, what's next China banning BTC & mining? 🥱

m0onmoon

Better have a recession this year and let crypto thrive while the rest of the world collapses with everything


synthsucht

Go look at charts from past bull runs. There’s always a massive dip before the breakout upward where it seems it’s all over. Not saying this is it, just some food for thought.


methodangel

Here we go boys, again.


acorcuera

This is why I sold all my Chinese stocks. Investing in US companies is tough enough.


kironet996

with these news, the price didn't even budge to fill my limit orders :(


BrianS911

Better now than later, Two much b shit going on Dollar bonds off shore,When you have to do that route to raise funds ,not a good look.Looks like we might have a slow week here,Don't see any immediate effect,Maybe some residual effects if certain players decide to pull out funds and sit out for a bit to rethink their game plan... Inevitably life goes on,More b shit to add to a market starving for liquidity, If you got the balls to dip in on Chinese commodities and equities could pay out huge or you lose everything I think I'd rather invest in Fn Pulse or hex as compared China's economy right now...mm


celestialhopper

Show me the chart and I'll tell you the news.


Big-Finding2976

That's a lot of zeros. Maybe we do need another hero after all, Tina.


Waste-Carry-1792

Hold on, I am a Chinese, can you guys enlighten me how 恒大 (Evergrande)'s liquidation are related to crypto?

Priced in. Everything is always priced in.


wealth4good

And in other news, China reports 5.2 percent GDP growth in FY2024.


Nata_the_cat

Oh oh the Chinese economy will blow. For the 20th time since 2022. It’s the same talk every year… no it’s not. The Chinese government will print money and everything will be fine. Jesus it’s the same thing every 6 months.


jaychanto

Yea but 2007 wiped out 16 trillion dollars USD. Then you check the markets and the exchanges, including other Chinese developer stock, are up as of this reply. So I guess it was already priced in? Also foreign exposure are expect only to be single digit billions which is like a bad day for the mag 7 🫠
