Recently in China, various restrictions have been established that allow the suppression of the crypto-market. However, a group of enthusiasts of this world under the name Team1234, decided to shoot a documentary called Bitcoin Girl.

For this shoot, a woman accepted the challenge of traveling for 21 days in several cities within the country paying for her expenses only with 0.21 bitcoins. The young woman calls herself He You Bin and her trip started on August 28 with that amount of money that amounts to a little more than $ 63.

The girl only carries her cell phone with her btc wallet to cover food expenses and basic needs, including lodging, but she is not allowed to receive help or donations.

The team that documented the experience, posted it on an internet entertainment channel in China called iQiyi, where women were shown touring big cities like Beijing, Canton and Shanghai.

Although in many places the payment with cryptocurrencies is accepted, the first few times to He Youbin it cost a bit to convince the merchants to accept these currencies to buy food, so they had to feed themselves at the beginning with leftovers of hamburgers from restaurants of fast food.

The girl had episodes of poor health due to this situation, however through a chat group she located a little help to survive, giving information about the sites where they could accept this payment method.

These places have managed to circumvent in a certain way the norms that have been applied in the nation to control this market, including techniques for IP address camouflage. Recall that they have banned the ICO and have caused the closure of many exchange houses.

On the other hand, the authorities have also eliminated all event or conference related to cryptoactives and blocked access to more than 120 international exchange houses that operate in China.
