The message explains that on February 14 at the press conference on digital currencies the deputy head of PBOC Ban Gongsheng will be present. Then,<br> in an e-mail,<br> it was said that PBOC and HKMA are planning to introduce new charters,<br> which will lead to the fact that all enterprises and services will be tied to the crypto-currency industry.\r\n\r\n<em>\u201cThe press conference will make it clear that neither the People\u2019s Bank of China nor the Hong Kong Monetary Authority recognizes Bitcoin or any other virtual currency as a legitimate means of payment,<br> thus applying it as an official currency to pay off debts and financial obligations,<br> \u201c<\/em> explains email.\r\n\r\nThe Chinese authorities have already blocked access to all domestic and offshore trading platforms with crypto currency,<br> Hong Kong has not yet realized this.\r\n\r\nIn addition,<br> the report says that China will also introduce new laws making the crypto-currency \u201cillegal\u201d,<br> although officials understand that the country is home to the world\u2019s largest Bitcoin-Minner community.\r\n\r\n\u201cThere is a risk for financial markets,<br> including the shadow banking sector,<br> which can provide unregulated services to avoid detection by authorities and protect the identity of those who provide and receive funds,<br>\u201d the letter said.\r\n\r\nThe president of the Bitcoin association in Hong Kong,<br> Leonard Wise,<br> said that the letter was most likely sent in order to cause more panic in the community. The goal was to manipulate the news to have some effect on the price in the market,<br> which was already very bearish.\r\n\r\n<em>\u201cThe goal of senders of fictitious letters was to spread rumors and panic in the hope of manipulating the price of Bitcoin by taking short positions in futures and betting that the price will fall ,<br>\u201d<\/em> Leonhard Uize said.\r\n\r\n[sc name=\"Ads\" ",<br>"json_metadata":" \"community\":\"steempress\",<br>\"app\":\"steempress\/1.0.1\",<br>\"tags\":[\"bitcoin\",<br>\"cryptocurrency\",<br>\"news\",<br>\"\" " | | comment_options | "author":"vichetuc",
