While trading Chinese yuan for Bitcoin may technically be banned in China, that hasn’t stopped the country’s citizens from talking up a storm about cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

This much was made clear on Sunday when Samson Mow, CSO of Blockstream, noted that according to data from Weibo (‘Chinese Twitter’), Bitcoin was a trending topic. This is the third time this has happened in the past two weeks.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Trends on Weibo, “China’s ‘Twitter'”<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to a screenshot of Weibo’s trending list from May 10th shared by Mow, a search term mentioning Bitcoin’s price drop<\/a> was recently the 13th most popular term on the platform. This is notable as Weibo is a platform used by literally 400 million monthly active users, showing how excited the Chinese are about BTC.<\/p>\n
