#BTC重返10万 CCTV is reporting on BTC, and Alipay has also started promoting virtual currency in the country, this is true

CCTV has reported on the madness of $BTC. Over the past few days, CCTV's finance channel reported that the price of Bitcoin has surged to an all-time high, reaching as high as $100,000, with an increase of over 10%. Perhaps I, as an editor, am simply not used to seeing such things.

I also checked CCTV's historical reports on Bitcoin and found quite a few. I roughly organized CCTV's reports on Bitcoin in chronological order, the earliest being on May 3, 2013, when Sichuan's Lushan County suffered from the 420 earthquake. The disaster area received a lot of donations, including more than 230 Bitcoins. Since then, Bitcoin has come into the public eye in China, and in such a warm and positive light. The next day, CCTV's news channel aired a program titled 'The Mysterious Bitcoin,' which educated the audience about Bitcoin and stated that its value had increased by 5,320 times in three years. In this program, a certain Li accepted an interview with CCTV, claiming to have a six-figure amount of Bitcoin, and he quickly became celebrated as China's Bitcoin billionaire by the media. At this time, Bitcoin began to reveal its mysterious veil. On December 2, 2013, CCTV's finance channel aired a program titled 'The Crazy Bitcoin,' which reported on the soaring price of Bitcoin and the frenzy of mining activities, which could be said to have surpassed the screen.

On December 3, 2013, as the People's Bank of China and other five ministries issued a notice on preventing Bitcoin risks, emphasizing the money laundering and investment risks associated with Bitcoin, CCTV's reporting tone began to shift.

On January 11, 2014, CCTV's finance channel aired a program titled 'The Harmful Bitcoin.' This program focused on the plunge and risks of Bitcoin, intending to sound the alarm for investors.

In 2017, with the price crash and the arrival of the September 4 regulatory announcement, on September 18 of that year, CCTV's finance channel discussed the regulation of Bitcoin and related trading platforms in a finance commentary program. The program discussed how Bitcoin is often used by criminals for transferring illicit funds and warned investors not to invest in Bitcoin and other virtual currencies.
