China is banning crypto and stable coin.
China has effectively “doubled down” on its comprehensive, long-standing ban on cryptocurrency. In February 2026, Chinese regulators—including the People’s Bank of China—issued new, stricter guidelines that re-classify almost all crypto-related activities as illegal financial activities, targeting offshore trading, stablecoins, and marketing to maintain total control.
Key details regarding the 2026, intensified crackdown:
- New “Ban 2.0” Measures: A joint notice from eight agencies on February 6, 2026, reinforced that virtual currencies are not legal tender and are prohibited for transactions.
- Stricter Scope: The new regulations target not just trading, but also marketing, intermediary services, and “traffic facilitation” for crypto services.
- Targeting Stablecoins: The crackdown specifically targets foreign, unauthorized stablecoins—particularly those pegged to the yuan (RMB)—viewing them as threats to financial sovereignty.
- Legal Consequences: Under these new, stricter rules, investing in cryptocurrencies is seen as violating “public order and good morals,” leaving investors with little legal recourse for losses.
- Controlled Exception: While banning public crypto, the new rules create a very narrow,, state-approved channel for certain real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, requiring strict government filing and oversight.
- Illegal Activity Persists: Despite the 2021 ban and current, stricter measures, underground trading and mining operations continue to exist, with China still accounting for a significant portion of global hash rate.
These actions confirm that China maintains a zero-tolerance policy on decentralized crypto assets while prioritizing its own state-backed digital currency, the e-CNY.

Your not alone in that belief. We cannot let them back in, they are the children of hell.
They’re not even smart enough to realize finishing the job they’ll finish themselves. They will also be forced to live in the state they represent and the consequences as they should be doing now and only be able to represent that state on any policy if the states break up. No more united states. They will stand alone with no one else to blame.

My God can do ANYTHING! I’m living proof of that. …. so…. Pray for “HIS” Miracle, expect it….and receive it! Then Thank Him For it! Life is Silver-n-Gold!

Just from reading the article portion of the interview, he’s 100% right. I fall into the patriot category and he’s lost me. His cabinet is filled with Bushites – Wiles and Bondi. Patel turned out to be a kitten. Bongino too. I don’t know anything about his spiritual guides but if he’s using remote viewing and psychics he might as well call the devil himself.
It really doesn’t matter what good he does for the economy, energy, immigration or even defense, if he doesn’t throw the people who committed treason and undermined the country in jail, they’ll be right back in a couple years to finish the job. But this time, it won’t just be Jan. 6’ers, it will be his patriotic voters the left goes after with the justice system.
I don’t hold out much hope for this country going forward. Best thing that could happen is the separation of red/blue states.

Yes I remember that back in 08. Perhaps that is part of the reason they want to split up the mines. Another is investors wanting something closer to home as what happened in Mexico to those miners. Today the gold mines of Barrick apparently are not heavily hedged…
Barrick Gold Corporation is not heavily hedged today; it largely maintains an unhedged strategy, allowing it to capture maximum spot prices for its gold. While the company uses copper hedges to manage price volatility for its growing copper exposure, its core gold business remains unhedged, designed to provide high sensitivity to gold price movements.
Key Details as of February 2026:
- Gold Strategy: Barrick focuses on providing investors with unhedged exposure to the gold price, allowing them to benefit directly from high price environments.
- Copper Hedge: The company uses hedging for its copper business (e.g., Lumwana and Reko Diq projects) to manage risk while expanding production.
- Financial Position: Barrick’s strategy relies on holding a strong balance sheet rather than relying on hedging, aimed at maximizing cash flow during high-price cycles.
As of early 2026, the company is experiencing high profitability driven by the gold bull market, with expectations to maintain this strategy.
