Why I’m buying this dip in Bitcoin as ICO’s are banned in China

The "China bans Bitcoin" meme repeats every year!

Hello my fellow steemians and crypto investors,

As we all know by now the recent news about China banning ICOs have spooked investors. We have seen significant price drops across the board, not only in altcoins as expected, but also in Bitcoin.

This is where I see a big opportunity because Bitcoin stars are aligning and pointing to a new impressive rally.

This is why I’m buying this dip in Bitcoin:

  • Transaction malleability is now fixed and the door to second layer scalability solutions, such as the Lightning Network, is wide open.

  • Segwit is slowly working its magic, reducing fees and it keeps increasing in use.

Andreas Antonopoulos explains in detail why China won't ban Bitcoin:

  • Bitmain’s Jihan Wu, noted that Bitcoin is still legal in China and its legality has not and will not change because of the government’s involvement into the ICO markets.

Other contributing factors:

  • Hurricane Harvey devastated Texas, what the mainstream media is not telling you is that the economy of Texas is the second largest in the United States. It had a gross state product of $1.616 trillion as of 2016. The Gross Domestic Product, and thus, the Economy of the United States, will be significantly affected in the last quarter of 2017, likely triggering a long overdue recession after 9 years of growth fueled by easy money. These will not be very merry Christmases...

  • Hurricane Irma, a 4 category storm already, has Puerto Rico and Florida in its sights. Let’s hope it doesn’t cause major damages but just the potential is enough to spook stock market investors.

great post.

Nice work!

Excellent analysis as always. I'm looking at this weekend as a 20-50% off sale. I was extremely excited to be able to buy TenX at a 40% discount.

Thanks for commenting Dan, I'm also looking at getting discounted coins, maybe some TenX, some EOS and NEO but keeping the bulk of it in Bitcoin. regards

Biger moves in price = bigger chance to nice profits ;)

Excellent analysis and good topic @cryptoeagle

Nice to see someone else has the same plan as me.

For me, this is a perfect moment to get in. I bought my first Bitcoin last week and, even though I would've loved to have waited until today, I'm not scared. Planning to buy more as well. This is the future.

Congratulations and welcome to the space! Never panic sell in crypto, this is a highly volatile environment, you'll see stomach churning drops very often. Whatever, money you put in you have to be willing to wait for it long term or lose it.
