While Beijing banned bitcoins last September, the government has embraced blockchain, whose technology drives cryptocurrencies, as a key strategic industry. Will China, which was the biggest miner of bitcoins before the ban, be able to contain the industry? How can China on one hand embrace the technology but on the other hand outlaw its most obvious commercial application? Ultimately, will governments allow decentralized and unregulated virtual currencies to survive, and how can they manage their national economic policies? Join cryptocurrency investor Mitchell Dong and bitcoin experts Harumi Urata-Thompson and Kwon Park to find out the future of Bitcoin and the block chain technology.
