| By Greg Wilson, analyst, Palm Beach Daily It’s the biggest crypto-related news of the year since Facebook announced its Libra coin… Yet it hasn’t been getting as much coverage. In late October, Chinese President Xi Jinping called for his country to accelerate blockchain technology adoption. And a slew of bullish news followed… China’s Congress passed a cryptography law to provide clear guidelines and regulations. It goes into effect January 1. The Cyberspace Administration of China announced over 500 projects have already registered with the Chinese government. The vice chairman of the China Center for International Economic Exchanges said China’s central bank is close to rolling out a digital currency. And the Chinese National Development and Reform Commission scrapped its plans to eliminate the bitcoin mining industry (which had previously been a major threat in the nation). Overall, it’s huge news. Any uncertainty surrounding China and blockchain tech evaporated. And crypto markets rallied over 25% as a response. Now, the crypto market has pulled back some since then. And the People's Bank of China (PBOC) came out and said it was cracking down on “illegally” operating crypto exchanges. We’ve seen this play run by the PBOC before. Our advice: Don’t sweat it. This is typical of China. For example, it made the same announcement about illegally operating crypto exchanges in September 2017 – and bitcoin. What’s important is that Chinese developments are a stark reminder that blockchain and cryptos are a worldwide phenomenon. And today, I’ll tell you why this news will not only be a catalyst to blockchain tech in China… but throughout the world as well – for months and years to come. From Blockchain to Bitcoin Here’s what President Xi declared for China: We must take blockchain as an important breakthrough for independent innovation of core technologies, clarify the main directions, increase investment, focus on a number of key technologies, and accelerate the development of blockchain and industrial innovation. In short, this announcement gave the green light for nearly 1.4 billion people to use blockchain technology. Now, you may be wondering how this will boost bitcoin. After all, Chinese state media tend to focus only on “blockchain,” rather than “bitcoin” or “cryptocurrency.” But that’s like a university building a new athletic facility… and then saying it’ll only help the football team. Obviously, every athletic team will benefit. Likewise, China’s push into blockchain will benefit the whole industry, including bitcoin and other cryptos. In fact, one of China’s state-run news agencies, Xinhua, recently ran a front-page story hailing bitcoin as the first successful application of blockchain technology. The bottom line is: Xi’s endorsement elevates the status of blockchain, bitcoin, and cryptos as a whole. And the fact it did not ban bitcoin mining suggests that China values bitcoin. This announcement virtually guarantees significant investment into the industry for years to come. Su Zhu, CEO and CIO of Singaporean hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, said it best: [More than] one billion people will see this news. Search volumes and web traffic will balloon. Parents will be urging kids to learn about crypto and blockchain. And we’re seeing these effects already… | Recommended Link | | [Urgent] Federally legal pot in these ten states… Former hedge fund manager and Wall Street insider Teeka Tiwari just got big news from an investigative reporter with special access to the White House. “If what we just heard is true – and it’s since been covered by 21 reputable sources, including insiders at Barron’s, The Wall Street Journal, and Fortune… Then a brand-new batch of pot stock millionaires will be made in the coming weeks. And, with one simple move, you can be one of them.” | | | -- | Blockchain Takes Off in China Just a day after Xi’s announcement, “blockchain” was all over the headlines in People’s Daily – China’s largest newspaper and the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. A few days later, the local government in Guangzhou announced a fund worth roughly $150 million for outstanding blockchain projects. (Guangzhou is the country’s fourth most populous city behind Shanghai, Beijing, and Tianjin.) Other local Chinese governments will likely soon follow suit. And according to the founder of crypto venture capital (VC) firm Primitive Ventures, Dovey Wan, major Chinese universities have started offering blockchain classes overnight. VC investment is also starting to flow again. Following the 2018 Crypto Winter, 90% of blockchain-focused Chinese VC firms left the market. But now, with the government’s endorsement, VCs are returning and deal flow is on the rise. Plus, the Cyberspace Administration of China revealed some of the largest Chinese banks and tech companies are working with blockchain tech, too… The Bank of China, China Construction Bank, and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China have nearly $10 trillion in total assets. And Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent are all advancing multiple blockchain projects. Combined, these companies generate over $115 billion in annual revenues. We’ll see the benefits of these initiatives in the months and years to come. More importantly, we think it’ll light a fire under other countries in the race to blockchain supremacy… | Recommended Link | | Available Now: New Retirement Blueprint from America’s Most Trusted Options Trader For the past 36 years, Jeff Clark has helped people retire wealthy… But he hasn’t done it the usual way. He uses options. Options probably seem risky. Reckless, even. But his options strategy is different – unlike anything you’ve probably seen before. It helped him retire at 42. And thousands of others have used it to make $10,000… $100,000… even $1 million or more – in some rare cases. Which is why he's offering his never-before-released blueprint… and a year of his guidance… for just $19. | | | -- | A Little Competition Never Hurts Again, blockchain and cryptos aren’t exclusive to China. They’re part of a worldwide phenomenon. As Mark Zuckerberg said in his testimony before the House Committee on Financial Services: While we debate these issues, the rest of the world isn’t waiting [to innovate]. China is moving quickly to launch similar ideas in the coming months… If America doesn't innovate, our financial leadership is not guaranteed. Now, he said this before Xi’s announcement. But China’s just called “game on.” And its move will force the rest of the world to step up its blockchain and crypto use. We think the U.S. and other countries will rise to the challenge. And the entire blockchain space, including cryptos, will benefit. One simple way to play the trend is to make a small allocation to cryptos. If you’re new to the space, we recommend you start with bitcoin. But always remember, bitcoin is volatile. So don’t bet the farm. You just need a tiny grubstake for the potential for life-changing gains. Regards,

Analyst, Palm Beach Daily P.S. As we’ve mentioned, the crypto market has experienced temporary weakness like this before. And we see them as buying opportunities. Not only is China headed into crypto, so is Wall Street. And Daily editor Teeka Tiwari has found five tiny cryptos (some trading for just a few cents) that could soar so high they could potentially help you turn $500 into $5 million in as little as 300 days. This is exactly what could’ve happened the last time a rare crypto phenomenon occurred three years ago. So now’s the time to get in, especially with a rare event coming around the corner that will push bitcoin – and other altcoins – to new highs. MAILBAG From William T.: Captain Teeka!
