Could China’s national currency eventually become a digital currency?

The short answer is yes. According to the executive chairman of the Blockchain Research Institute, China’s official currency, the renminbi (RMB), may soon become a cryptocurrency, despite the fact that cryptocurrencies and the country have a volatile relationship. But even in the face of China’s anti-crypto outlook, experts say the country could still embrace the digital currency route.

lonzo_ball_shut_down

After Lonzo Ball suffered an ankle injury after colliding with James Ennis III back in January, at first glance it didn’t seem too bad. X-rays were negative but an MRI showed a sprained left ankle involving a torn ligament. Still, no surgery needed.

Doctors said he would need four to six weeks from Jan. 20 to make a full recovery.
