2.Skype in China

Recently, Skype's China operations company Tom Online said it would stop Skype's operations in China and said it would officially take over Skype's business in China on November 24. A few days ago, Microsoft clarified that Microsoft will not be able to control Skype's operation in mainland China in the future, but would form a new joint venture. It is unclear how Microsoft will find a partner company for Skype in China.

2007, Skype and Tom Online set up a joint venture in mainland China to develop and operate Chinese version Skype for the mainland market. With Tom's online operation, Skype has not made a big breakthrough in China and paid users have been slow to grow. Since then, Microsoft bought Skype in 2011, but because of its business specificity, Skype is still operating online in China by Tom. Late last year, Microsoft issued a statement saying it would replace MSN with Skype, where users could contact their original MSN friends on a new Skype client.

How to collaborate to do an Internet product is still the challenge that Microsoft faces. Now that China has become the only "MSN zone" in the world, whether Skype will be further integrated with MSN is not known, but it needs to grow under the strong competition rules of China's Internet, first of all, the need for Microsoft to innovate the rigid system.

But this is only a temporary trough, by the late October, Bitcoin jumped into the top of nearly 6 months, followed by a record high. From November 7 to 10th, the price of Bitcoin rose from 267 to 341 dollars. Recently, the trend of madness has also attracted the attention of US regulators, the U.S. Senate plans to arrange hearings to discuss how to deal with the development of virtual currency in the future.

Liu Yan: The development of 4-year Bitcoin, after several hacking and trust crisis, followers have increased. The distributed characteristics and the decentralized design structure based on bit-currency peer-to-peer ensure that no mechanism can be manipulated in theory. While Bitcoin poses a huge challenge to regulators, a strong fluctuating exchange rate has made it a more speculative activity for Bitcoin, which is also becoming an impediment to a bigger role for the currency.
