As we know, the ban on cryptocurrencies from Chinese Government had a negative effect on the cryptocurrency industry. But, there are many of reasons to stay optimistic! Let’s discover why.

I would say we can expect a number of blockchain-based breakthroughs from China in the nearest future and governmental support is likely to boost the country’s R&D.

China and its advantages in Mining

Did you know that China is known for its plants producing video cards and ASIC miners? So its bid advantage is that Chinese miners are able to buy the equipment at a much lower cost.

China can already boast a remarkably low price for electricity; add to it the decision of the Chinese government to encourage the industrial production of cryptocurrency by offering additional discounts on electricity to crypto farm owners, and you can see why China is one of the world’s largest mining centers.
