Bitcoin dives as South Korea moves to ban cryptocurrency trade!

SEOUL ? South Korea?s government said on Thursday it plans to ban cryptocurrency trading, sending bitcoin prices plummeting and throwing the virtual coin market into turmoil as the nation?s police and tax authorities raided local exchanges on alleged tax evasion.

The clampdown in South Korea, a crucial source of global demand for cryptocurrency, came as policymakers around the world struggled to regulate an asset whose value has skyrocketed over the last year.

Justice minister Park Sang-ki said the government was preparing a bill to ban trading of the virtual currency on domestic exchanges.

?There are great concerns regarding virtual currencies and the justice ministry is basically preparing a bill to ban cryptocurrency trading through exchanges,? Park told a news conference, according to the ministry?s press office.

After the market?s sharp reaction to the announcement, the nation?s Presidential office hours later said a ban on the country?s virtual coin exchanges had not yet been finalised while it was one of the measures being considered.

A press official at the justice ministry said the proposed ban on cryptocurrency trading was announced after ?enough discussion? with other government agencies, including the nation?s finance ministry and financial regulators.

Once a bill is drafted, legislation for an outright ban of virtual coin trading will require a majority vote of the total 297 members of the National Assembly, a process that could take months or even years.

The government?s tough stance triggered a selloff of the cryptocurrency on both local and offshore exchanges.

The local price of bitcoin plunged as much as 21 percent in midday trade to $18.3 million won after the minister?s comments. It still trades at around a 30 percent premium compared to other countries.

Bitcoin was down more than 10 percent on the Luxembourg-based Bitstamp at $13,199, after earlier dropping as low as $13,120, its weakest since Jan. 2.

South Korea?s cryptocurrency-related shares were also hammered. Vidente and Omnitel, which are stakeholders of Bithumb, skidded by the daily trading limit of 30 percent each.

Once enforced, South Korea?s ban ?will make trading difficult here, but not impossible,? said Mun Chong-hyun, chief analyst at EST Security.

?Keen traders, especially hackers, will find it tough to cash out their gains from virtual coin investments in Korea but they can go overseas, for example Japan,? Mun said.

Park Nok-sun, a cryptocurrency analyst at NH Investment & Securities, said the herd behaviour in South Korea?s virtual coin market has raised concerns.

Indeed, bitcoin?s 1,500 percent surge last year has stoked huge demand for cryptocurency in South Korea, drawing college students to housewives and sparking worries of a gambling addiction.

Bitcoin Plunges as South Korea Crafts Cryptocurrency Crackdown | The Wall Street Journal

A top official from South Korea said the government is preparing a bill to ban the trading of cryptocurrencies on exchanges, stepping up its efforts to curb speculation.

The remarks from Minister of Justice Park Sang-ki came just days after the country?s financial regulator started inspecting some of South Korea?s largest financial institutions that help facilitate digital-currency trading. Bitcoin prices tumbled as much as 13.7%

Bitcoin tumbles on reports South Korea will ban all cryptocurrency trading | MarketCrunch

Meanwhile, two of South Korea?s biggest exchanges, Coinone and Bithumb, were raided by police and tax authorities this week, according to the Reuters report.

Thursday marked a volatile day of trading in the digital currency space, with bitcoin under pressure, and Ripple and Ether coins suffering losses, after reports that South Korea plans to ban all cryptocurrency trading.

The bitcoin spot price BTCUSD-4.02% was recently down 7.9% to $13,713.85, having tapped an intraday low of $12,845.71, according to CoinDesk data. Those levels haven?t been seen since late December, and the cryptocurrency remains well below a recent all-time high above $19,000 hit in mid-December.

Bitcoin futures for January BTCF8-2.77% on the CME dropped 5% to $13,720, and on the Cboe, bitcoin futures XBTF8-2.73% saw a similar drop to $13,700.

Among other cryptocurrencies, Ripple sank 9.2% to $1.73, while Ether coins on the Ethereum blockchain slid 11.5% to $1,193.37, according to CoinMarketCap.com data.

?There are great concerns regarding virtual currencies and justice ministry is basically preparing a bill to ban cryptocurrency trading through exchanges,? South Korea?s Minister of Justice Park Sang-Ki said at a news conference Thursday, according to the ministry?s office, Reuters reported.

The decision was made after discussions with the country?s finance ministry and regulators, the report said. But even if a bill is drafted, the process of getting the votes needed to approve it could be lengthy and could even take years.

Day trading is the new trend now. Buy it low and sell it high later that day or two. Easy money if you know what you are doing.

pimpmaster9000 · 01-12-2018, 03:23 AM

the pimps guide to arbitrage:

1) be a studio boss and have tons of model documents
2) open lots of accounts at lots of exchanges
3) use fast transfer/low fee coins
4) fucking crush daily limits
5) buy lambos

*spreads FOMO*

with arbitrage it does not really matter if it is up or down and there is no risk...pimps always make money...

*spreads more FOMO*
