China blocks access to the most popular Ethereum Block Explorer website

Recommended Posts

Today, I read a news in Coindesk.com about Ethereum in China. It is said that Chinese government has used its firewall to block one of the most prominent source of ETH blockchain data which is etherscan.io wesbite. This censorship has started since October 30, 2019 and now Chinese users can't access this website with their Chinese IP addresses.

This is a bad news because it seems that it is possible to ban or limit crypto activity by blocking some websites and making it hard for most crypto users to stay active. This is a fight between centralization and decentralization in China. It is still unknown why this censorship has been done. I think this is another attempt to control cryptocurrency. ETH users in China can still use other websites but this website was a useful source for them.

It is stated that the Chinese government has used its firewall to block one of the most prominent source of ETH blockchain data which is Etherscan.io wesbite.  I think block use of ETH would be good for China, China has come to the crypto world with many big projects, hoping for something better in the days ahead.

Something like this is heard all the time in China.  In fact, blocking the accessibility of a coin like Ethereum is nothing more than an unpleasant thing to me. Because in every country it is better to take the coin forward.

Me too I found it sad, and not good at all for Chinese people, but like I heard is to respect the privacy in China, but I didn't understand what kind of privacy is China taking about here??

It makes it difficult for Chinese ETH holders to continue their tradings but what is the point of blocking websites when there are lots of VPN or VPS services out there which makes it easy to access any website without any problems? Is there any problem with accessing crypto related websites using a VPN or VPS? Do these websites care about their users' IP addresses or just care about their coins and investments?

There are some people that even use VPN all the time regardless of surfing blocked or unblocked websites. They want to protect their privacy. Is Chinese firewall so strong that Chinese users can't access blocked websites even through VPN? Cryptocurrency and VPN both share a same feature and that is anonymity and privacy.

This is a failed method and will not succeed in preventing traders and those interested in cryptocurrencies from dealing with this site and accessing it.

I do not think that this method will help in controlling decentralized cryptocurrencies, and I believe that China is trying in every way to control cryptocurrencies.

I'm sad to see this happen. I check this is still happening. However, I check that they still can use another explorer. 
I've tested the https://ethplorer.io/ and it is working fine for them

This is bad news for Crypto users in China. At the moment they seem to indeed be blocking sites related to Ethe coins. This will narrow down the use of Crypto there. We don't know what they mean by this.

I think this method is failing and will not work to prevent trade because people are interested in the crypto world, and I am sure China will do a variety of ways to control cryptocurrency.

I read some news in this forum that China will create their own coin but my question is why they restrict the user in this kind of things? Maybe they don't want competitors? I hope this restrictions stop or minimize.

Yes the authorities in China cannot hide their distrust for cryptocurrency, first they tried to ban Bitcoin only to retrace their steps when it dawned on them, they were merely pouring water on the back of a duck. I don't see what they stand to gain by banning one website, when there aremeans to bypass their ban and when there're other websites rendering similar services.

I also read the news recently. But I think there is a reason behind it. We all know that I'm the first time they made crypto as illegal. After that now they want launch their own coin. We will know soon the reason.

China is always been known to act this way, and still surprise that China is still the big contributor in Cryptocurrency, they can always find a way even if they blocked it, Chinese investors can always use VPN to check and find the site I think there are a lot of vpn in China working for Cryptocurrency holders.

Well, the Chinese censorship is very strict towards its people. I don't understand how the Chinese president is making statements about supporting blockchain technology and then banning Ethereum scan site!.

This will be a total tragedy to those who invested huge amount into the crypto currency bussines,  this will just dicourage others from going into the crypto thing, I i don't know why the government will keep on blocking people from making money conviniently 😏

Perhaps this is a temporary phenomenon and perhaps it is due to internal disagreements. Well, for ordinary users, it will not be difficult to bypass the block.

    • Даа, часто так бывает, на что не верим, тот происходит). Думаю что серьезное изменение у биткоина связано с етф. Халвинг не так сильно влияет на цены биткоина, это мое мнение. Бнб конечно не сдается, он же 630$ был, пока биткоин же немного падал, после 73к, и он падал пропорционально.   
    • Также Аркхам и не только они, а очень много проектов не хило выстрелили именно из-за поддержки Бинанса и тут скорее всего будет тоже самое. А вот сможем ли мы попасть в тот список счастливчиков, пока что непонятно, хотя нужно дойти до минимального рубежа - 6-ой уровень.

    • Главный инвестиционный директор Bitwise Мэтью Хоуган заявил, что институциональные инвесторы, вложат в биткойн до 1 триллиона долларов через биржевые фонды (ETF), поскольку они постепенно переходят в криптовалюту. В записке, разосланной инвестиционным экспертам, Хоуган выразил обеспокоенность по поводу волатильности цен на биткойн. Поскольку актив колеблется от 60 до 70 тысяч долларов, генеральный директор считает, что лучшая стратегия — «сохранять спокойствие и смотреть в будущее».   Несмотря на краткосрочные колебания, Хоуган выделил несколько ключевых предстоящих событий. К ним относятся халвинг и потенциальное одобрение спотовых биткойн-ETF такими крупными платформами, как Morgan Stanley или Wells Fargo . Хоуган подчеркнул, что текущие процессы комплексной проверки, проводимые инвестиционными комитетами и консультантами, являются важным шагом перед совершением инвестиций в биткойны. Он упомянул, что в ожидании этих событий цена Биткойна может испытать боковое движение в ответ на незначительные изменения настроений. Тем не менее, Хоуган с оптимизмом смотрит на будущее Биткойна, ссылаясь на устойчивый бычий рынок с ростом почти на 300% за последние 15 месяцев и веские причины для дальнейшего роста.   Январское одобрение спотовых биткойн-ETF значительно открыло рынок криптовалют для профессионалов в области инвестиций. Хоуган считает, что это знаменует собой начало интереса со стороны профессионалов, управляющих триллионами долларов, и этот процесс займет годы. Он также подчеркнул приток $12 миллиардов в ETF с момента их запуска, назвав это самым успешным дебютом ETF. Тем не менее, он ожидает, что глобальные управляющие активами, выделяющие всего 1% своих портфелей в биткойны, могут привести к притоку в 1 триллион долларов, в результате чего первоначальные 12 миллиардов долларов кажутся минимальными инвестициями. Ранее в марте Хоуган предположил, что спотовые ETF Ethereum могут привлечь больше активов, если будут запущены после мая. Учитывая более осторожный прогноз относительно майского дебюта, он предположил , что декабрьский запуск может быть более выгодным. Задержка даст Уолл-стрит и традиционному финансовому сектору больше времени для понимания сложностей криптовалюты, особенно Биткойна. По оценкам Хогана, Уолл-стрит потребуется от восьми до девяти месяцев, чтобы приспособиться к биткойнам, прежде чем рассматривать новый ETF.
    • Hello, friends, I wanted to alert you all about my recent experience with an airdrop group named @Airdrop_Fam. Initially, everything seemed legitimate. They requested an advance payment for their services, which I thought was standard procedure. However, the situation took a turn for the worse when they began demanding additional funds to publish a post. When I resisted their sudden and unexpected demand, communication came to an abrupt halt; they completely ignored my messages. The person behind this scheme is the admin of the group, known as @Airdrop_FAM_Admin. At first, this individual appears cooperative and friendly, but don't be deceived – it's all a facade to extort more money from you. Please, I urge everyone to be cautious and steer clear of @Airdrop_Fam. The group is a sham, filled with no genuine participants. The admin is a charlatan through and through. Don't let yourself be their next victim! Stay safe and always do thorough research before engaging with such groups
