These hopes surfaced shortly after a story appeared on cointelegraph.com claiming that Chinese investors might be in a position to trade Bitcoin again in the near future.

Though the story wasn’t confirmed by any official sources, traders didn’t want to wait
Still, the resumption of trade in Bitcoins in China won’t be a surprise.

As we wrote in a previous piece here, China's ban on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that went in effect on September 30 may be temporary, to appease hardcore communist party members ahead of the upcoming 19th party convention.

China's big government and government owned and controlled banks cannot tolerate Bitcoin. It threatens their very existence.

That's in the long term, though, when Bitcoin has the potential to replace China’s currency in everyday transactions, and as a store of value.
