China will invest heavily in another cryptocurrency, but probably not bitcoin. China will want to have a cryptocurrency that is competitive with bitcoin, but under its centralized control. This will, in general, provide legitimacy to all cryptocurrencies.

I can personally attest to this. I recently edited some documentation by a Chinese company that will soon launch its own cryptocurrency. The Chinese strategy is always to outlaw or ban certain web based technology ("twitter, facebook, google") and create their own version of the same technology allowing their comparative advantage (i.e. population) to propel it. I would not be surprised if China out-right banned bitcoin, and all other cryptocurrency for that matter, and began issuing its own crypto.

Nope, it's already up 40 cents since you posted. You have to understand this is basically gambling though, and you have to know that there are gonna be some major down turns and the potential to lose it all is probably the most realistic outcome. You have to stomach the losses and resist the urge to sell when things look bad, for example litecoin hit 102 the other day, dropped to 77 the same day and was back up to 107 today before dropping.

I’m actually buying and forgetting about it. Going to store my shares offline for extra security.

James Altucher's 10 predictions about where bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are headed

He's right, I got people at the IMF who are leading in it that said that America wants in. Especially the Feds. The issue is there running into the bankers who are all in for bitcoins.
