China VS Etherscan.io

[muniral4422 185]

Why would china do that. Well they could block it legally but people can still access the site using VPNs and other pricy tools. China is giant in the crypto realm and I suggest that their focus should be on seeing it develop.

[cryptovlek 2597]

This is another example of China war against cryptocurrency. We see every now and then China do something more to enforce the ban and block any access to crypto funds and with etherscan they also try to block the information. I don't think the China stance on crypto will change.

[Fixfin 2569]

It is terrible for China what they do, it affects little cryptocurrencies but it makes a big damage to the image of this big economy and country that blocks a website because it contains financial information they just don't like. I don't think there could be any law that etherscan breaks in china and it is only information given yet China did that move that proves how this country is run by corruption.

[Mella 3680]

I am known that China does not like crypto and they are banning and not allow anyone to hold in the country cryptocurrency. It is very dangerous for people in china and can be persecuted but the volumes come from this country are still big. It is bad to know about this website too that was not an exchange but had links that probably the china did not like.

[kryptonick 2659]

China is launching a CBDC, one of the first in the world and it has hopes that it will be a currency that will dominate commerce and replace the dollar as world reserve currency. It is called DCEP and the Chinese government has long banned any other currency except the yuan in the territory. Two competing payment processors rule chinese transactions sector. Wechat and Alipay, both use the yuan and have reached high adoption in the population. China of course wouldn't even want to know about any other money except the yuan and with the DCEP it will have total control of transactions.

[Syedbesharat 5423]

The Erherscan site shows the user wallet coins information and the blockage must have reason because China is working at own crypto currency and their could be some illegal activities monitored through this site form government monitoring team. But people use VPN for site visit may be bring more tightness in crypto sites where the government stop other sites in country. But the blockage reason was not announced. Their for we can guess the real reason of Blockage of famous Ether site. 

[mzk7736 1592]

I think blocking users from visiting a site that mainly belongs to ethereum can affect on the adoption and trade of ethereum as well. Because a large number of cryptocurrency miners and traders belong to China.

Eth Etherscan.io site filtered in China.

The massive firewall of the People's Republic of China, used by the government to monitor access to external internet sites, has blocked the largest public source of ethereum blocking data.

On Monday, the Ethernet scan site became one of the most widely used Ethereum block explorer sites by IPs inside China.

▪️This is the first case where a blockchainer searches for firewalls and filtering networks.

 

I don't know about this and he is blocking people but I think it is good because government take tho decision carefully but it should not create any effects on our work and I am also afraid because my country also banned many things in my country and it can also banned other website so I wish my country never do anything like this.

[zhoutong 2188]

I thought that China would have banned all the crypto websites already except from the exchanges, perhaps etherscan escaped the officials attention and was active for a longer time. They just cencor everything and while there are ways to access, it means you go against the government and risk a lot. The regime that runs China is always against the freedom of exchange of information and sees enemies where there is none.

[Baba g Sialkot 527]

I don't comprehend what they are doing, in light of the fact that this site is only a site that clients use to follow their exchanges, see their equilibrium at the ethereum address without signing in and different highlights. There isn't anything hazardous about this platform.

[Jhujhu 62]

I don't understand why they filtered the etherscan, maybe they have a plan we don't know yet, and hopefully the market won't affect this news, take care and post well then you can make money.

[Abdulrahman3 1252]

If large sites such as Facebook and WhatsApp were blocked in China for some time and replaced with other programs, it is not surprising that sites like th Etherscan.io are banned. China is so large and has a huge population, it can dispense with the whole world by itself, and it can rely on The programs you want.

[Dissy sb 945]

My friend I want to tell you that the Chinese sector in these days on the cryptocurrency is going with the the massive effect and one thing more I want to tell you that the Chinese sector is more active then the other two sectors of the cryptocurrency

[abohasnn9 2401]

My friend, China is one of the most looking forward to the future, despite the fact that Bitcoin is a currency controlled by the American platform, which is the blockchain, but despite the differences between it and America, it continues to support cryptocurrencies and the adoption of Bitcoin within it Thank you very much

[godislovefll 1880]

China has its good points in favor of cryptocurrencies, but personally, as long as they want to monitor and know what their users do or take care of us, the blochckain will always have problems with that country, even if it supports them today tomorrow, we do not know why the Chinese people You must live with incest regarding cryptocurrencies.

I do not know what technology is used, but I think they were able to filter the Ethereum site in general, but it can still be obtained in other ways

[yulitzacalvete 1366]

China is for me a bipolar government with respect to cryptocurrencies because it gives different opinions and it is strange why one day they are fine with creptocurrencies and the next day they are against them, I know they want to correct and avoid anonymity but it is not the way to fix it by blocking without warning because many users depend on this ETH network to monitor their transactions.

[Quickbee 26]

China is highly advanced in terms of technology. But they are very secretive. The news emanating from or about China cannot be relied upon. One thing is clear they are planning to bring their own coin.

[Jack764 1841]

I think that in this firewall, the state can control everything that people do on the Internet, and it is easy to prevent dealing in cryptocurrencies or establishing rules for them. But I don't think China will reject this development 

[RoyalHouse01 9]

I do not know what is the actual issue with the etherscan and the blockchain is I think working perfectly and there is no restriction on the basis of it for any country by the blockchain.

[Syriana 350]

It is sad news about China in general and the users of cryptocurrencies in particular, and this will lead to a great loss in the field of cryptocurrencies if China does this work and I hope this does not happen, but is it true that it can block everything related to Bitcoin

Why great loss that China should face while blocking etherscan.io, friend? There were sensible reasons as the fraudsters were openly sharing transactions hash exhibited on etherscan.io via WeChat messaging app. In order to prevent attackers, firewall of internet service providers blocked the access. Not only etherscan, there are so many other explorer to track the transaction, check https://www.coindesk.com/chinas-internet-firewall-has-blocked-access-to-ethereum-block-explorer-etherscan-io

[Wanderdark 2178]

In fact they can not block the blockchain but only the sites that enables you to trade your assets. In other fact it seems they can only block exchanges. So using a vpn, can't you bypass that block somehow? Anyone can confirm this issue? 

[Pereira 2303]

China is the largest power in the most extensive cryptocurrency and encryption network there is, for this reason do not underestimate the Chinese and their encryption technology, China may in the near future be able to track transactions that exchanges or people do at the time, but really Chinese technology is at a totally different level.

[teebasas 3018]

The Chinese government simply needs as few people as possible interested in cryptocurrency. They don't care about cryptocurrencies unless they can handle them and possibly use them to obtain technologies for their government.
