Beijing’s Decision To Weaken The Yuan Sees Wide Market Rally Led By Bitcoin

2019-8-5 18:52

Last week, U.S President Donald Trump announced additional tariffs for Chinese goods coming into the U.S. This announcement sparked an overnight surge for Bitcoin, giving back the bulls the momentum they much needed.

What would even be greater than the gains triggered then, was the even greater gains that would follow when China retaliated. Sure enough, China has on Monday announced retaliation measures which have seen Bitcoin jump by nearly 10%. In the early hours of the day, China announced that it will weaken the Yuan to the weakest level in more than a decade.

Furthermore, the Chinese government has directed all state-owned companies to halt agricultural imports from the U.S.

The U.S-China Money Printing Game

Donald Trump has in the past criticized China for manipulation of the Yuan by the government, threatening to play the money printing game like China.

This has been the exact case with the Yuan being lowered by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) to seven to one, a position it has defended since 2008. One analyst stated that by doing so, the Chinese government was weaponizing the currency.

Bitcoin Responds With A 10% Jump, More Gains Ahead

In the wake of the new changes, Bitcoin has responded very positively and is now staring at the $12k position. In the last 24 hours, the digital asset has jumped by nearly 10% to reach $11,760.

There is some resistance around this position but if broken in the next couple of hours, the asset could rally to $12K before encountering major resistance. However, the asset is recording a low trading volume. This could see a bearish scenario play out as the asset has little support.

Since the trade war began at the end of last week, Bitcoin has made leaps and by the looks of it, the trade war will continue fueling it in the new week. Soon the U.S might look to further escalate the trade war with both governments trying to show dominance.

But as they continue to weaken their currency value more and more, holders will look for a safe haven in Bitcoin. This will continue driving prices and offering the bullish momentum desired in the asset.

Governance, Part 2: Plutocracy Is Still Bad

Coin holder voting, both for governance of technical features, and for more extensive use cases like deciding who runs validator nodes and who receives money from development bounty funds, is unfortunately continuing to be popular, and so it seems worthwhile for me to write another post explaining why I (and Vlad Zamfir and others) do not consider it wise for Ethereum (or really, any base-layer blockchain) to start adopting these kinds of mechanisms in a tightly coupled form in any significant way.

Notes on Blockchain Governance

In which I argue that “tightly coupled” on-chain voting is overrated, the status quo of “informal governance” as practiced by Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and similar systems is much less bad than commonly thought, that people who think that the purpose of blockchains is to completely expunge soft mushy human intuitions and feelings in favor of completely algorithmic governance (emphasis on “completely”) are absolutely crazy, and loosely coupled voting as done by Carbonvotes and similar systems is underrated, as well as describe what framework should be used when thinking about blockchain governance in the first place.
