I am with you. Some time ago I opened a thread in meta about a similar case:

How to deal with multiple, factually incorrect threads?

The only thing I would'nt have done is to self-moderate the thread. That will cause it to have fewer replies and you may find several other threads with more replies than keep being bumped while yours dies.

If you are pissed off that people don't read and say false information you can try reporting but you may have not much success reporting for false information.

It is not important for it to survive but the support of China would help Bitcoin grow quicker anything which is there to slow down the adoption is bad imo. I think most citizens of China ignore the laws that China has I have friends that live in China and everyone is anti government uses a VPN to get around the restrictions they have in place there. Bitcoin will still be used illegally in China but it will slow down the adoption rate because there are no advertisements allowed and not everyone is willing to break the law even if that means giving up their freedom.

Having it self moderated is a good thing because it will discourage the people who spread these stupid rumors without evidence. Take a look at the replies on the topics linked and you will see that most are in a altcoin signature and they are posting similar posts to other people in the topic without giving it any thought just so they can earn money.

Some shitposts are not deleted, if I would allow the same guys to do this in my topic in which I'm complaining about them it would make no sense.
If the topic dies and it's not on the first page it doesn't matter, at least I tried, and just the thought of guys rushing to post to make their quota and then suddenly stopping because they know their shitpost is going to be removed is enough.


And who could expect the Chinese government to come out and say, we have been wrong about this!?
No way in hell this will happen, they would rather see a complete collapse of an economic sector rather than admit they made the wrong decisions about something, just look at everything that happened recently, from the housing bubble to covid, to the energy crisis, they will never admit of being wrong nor will they openly change a thing.

The banning of Bitcoin mining happened on September 24th. Since then mining Bitcoin has become illegal in China. It's ridiculous how we rush to comment in this forum when the news about unbanning Bitcoin mining by the Chinese broke out without know the real facts. Which the real fact is that the China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) it's only seeking public opinion on its decision to include bitcoin mining on her list of “phased-out” industries. The public comment period will last until 21 November. Just hoping that the public opinion will come out good.

The Bitcoin/crypto community has been like this for as long as I remember it; people spreading baseless rumors as "news", projecting their hopes and dreams, dismissing anything even slightly negative as "FUD". And when Bitcoin grows in price, they see it as validation of their views. This is not going to change anytime soon, not until Bitcoin's price becomes stable and "boring", so we just gotta accept it as a fact.

I knew it, it was either bbc.reporter was trolling or baiting the hell out of those spammers, I checked the link for authenticity prior to the topic but I wasn't able to find the fact that China is actually planning to unban Bitcoin, I didn't voice it out though, I just went against the topic and tried to convince everyone that it is quite unlikely for China's government to unban Bitcoin regardless of how beneficial it may be for their citizens. Good job, OP.

Actually, it does happen around here, in like half of Europe, the northwestern part mostly.
Sometimes is just the advantage of a multi-party system or just the fact that some party leaders know when they screwed up and they do have the honor of taking the steps needed. Ignoring the Netherlands which with 20+ parties is in a class of its own and looking even at more traditional parties there are a lot of examples, David Cameron is one, he called a referendum he fucked up, he admitted defeat, and he put a stop to his political carrier for good. 

China on the other hand is special, one party, one ruler, the system can't show weakness the whole communist propaganda relies on all as one stuff, so even if something happens it's the fault of everyone. The US is another case, just now democrats blame the loss of Virginia on Trump...everyone is at fault but them.

But leaving politics aside, there is no way they would change this even without the political implication, they're now focusing on the recovery of key sectors, they need to put back online at maximum capacity things that can help them in an economical war, and while semiconductors and other electronic parts manufacturing, steel, batteries, plastic products can be used as a tool, bitcoin mining can't. When half of the total annual mining reward is worth the same as their Christmas decoration industry, it's pretty easy to understand why they will never consider an unban.

I like to underline your sentence, I totally agree with the title of China politics in running the world financial and economic system. We saw how China easily toyed with the economic cycle by launching news, then had time to destroy the price of Bitcoin. After a while, then another statement appeared about withdrawing the Bitcoin mining block on the pretext that it would support it again.
We are indirectly following China political game. Even the world is also carried away by its political playing. That way China is confident, already feels that the world economy depends on its statements.

@BlackHatCoiner. Beijing considers mining for bitcoin and altcoins a waste of electricity. The policy makers will never unban this. Also, the energy shortages caused by the Chinese  goverment’s fight for carbon neutrality might extend for years. They will very much prioritize their energy usage for their manufacturing sector.

The one that has triggered the referendum is gone, as I mentioned, the moment the result was in he handed his resignation, have you heard anything about Cameron in the last 5 years? As for the screw-up, what was there left to do, the people have voted for Brexit, that's what they want if they wouldn't have gone with it everyone would have accused them of not listening to the poeple and being dictators.
What's to apologize? The poeple voted, that's it!

As for the collapsing economy where? Unless it's from dailymail there is no collapsing anywhere, and the energy crisis is not limited to the UK alone, China is rationalizing power and it had nothing to do with Brexit,  food prices have gone through the roof from India to Nigeria and it wasn't caused by the troubles in the UK. Besides the UK imports only 11% of its oil needs, one of the lowest percentages in the EU, they are better prepared for an energy crisis than the rest of Europe.
