Research and Markets: China Bitcoin Report 2013 - a Massive Market for the Developing Virtual Currency
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3jrp36/bitcoin_in_china) has announced the addition of the "China Bitcoin Report 2013 - A massive market for the developing virtual currency"report to their offering.
In February 2013, China became the second largest active Bitcoin market globally as measured by wallet downloads. This has attracted new Bitcoin-based businesses to China and what could be a massive market for the developing virtual currency.
What happens when you combine one of the most promising virtual currencies in the world with the largest country in the world? Even with the huge market potential though, will Bitcoin really take off in China? Can the Chinese consumer shift the value of the virtual currency as they did with gold in early 2013? What will the government eventually and inevitably do to control the currency?
It could be a potentially huge market, but will largely depend on its payment function development, the attitude of the Chinese government and the stability of Bitcoin's value.
