A few days ago the Financial Times, MIT and other organizations were putting out releases about how Bitcoin's rise is meaningless primarily because the market cap when compared to all financial transactions and instruments is a "rounding error." Ergo, nobody should care about Bitcoin. If that's really the case, then why the warning's and pronouncements from the PBOC and other central banks? They really ought not care if there's nothing to see here.
