What are the attitudes and practices of different countries towa

1. Globally, governments have different attitudes towards blockchain and blockchain assets, but on the whole, they are still in the exploration period
European and American countries are actively monitoring. Germany is the first country to recognize bitcoin and other digital assets as private property. The US CFTC (US Commodity Futures Commission) has identified bitcoin as a commodity. The state of New York has issued three bitlicenses
the situation in Asia is different. Japan actively supports it. In April this year, Japan implemented the payment services act, officially recognizing bitcoin as a legal payment method
South Korea is actively monitoring. In July, South Korea's "bitcoin Regulation Act" came out, setting a threshold of 500 million won for investors
China has strict supervision. In September, the people's Bank of China and other seven ministries and commissions jointly issued the "notice on preventing the financing risk of token issuance", which stipulates that in China, trading platforms shall not engage in the exchange business between legal tender and "virtual currency".

2. What are the current views of central banks on digital currency? Money is money. It's inflated now

3.

according to foreign media reports, with the growing popularity of bitcoin, central bank governors around the world have also expressed their views on this digital currency

Federal Reserve Bank of the United States

in December last year, at the monetary policy meeting of the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States, Janet Yellen, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, was asked what she thought of bitcoin

According to Yellen, this kind of digital currency is a "highly speculative asset" and "cannot be legal tender". She added that it "plays a negligible role in the payment system" and that it "is not a stable store of value."

"the Federal Reserve Bank will not make any policy on bitcoin. Instead, we will only ensure that the banking institutions we supervise pay close attention to digital currency and properly manage their interaction with traders in the market. Moreover, we will monitor whether these banking institutions have fulfilled their responsibilities to combat money laundering and ensure the safety of banks. " Yellen said

at the end of November last year, Jerome Powell, who will replace Yellen as chairman of the Federal Reserve in February this year, also expressed his views on cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies "don't matter now" because "they're not big enough," he said

According to Powell, the financial risk brought by digital currency to the financial market is minimal“ They're not big enough, they don't matter now. " He said

European Central Bank

in October last year, Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank, said that cryptocurrency was not "mature" enough for the central bank to regulate management

"for anything new, people are always full of expectations, but also feel very uncertain. Now, as far as bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are concerned, we don't think they are mature enough for us to consider standardized management. " He said

Draghi pointed out that tools like bitcoin have both advantages and disadvantages, and we need to weigh them carefully

"a lesson of the great financial crisis is financial innovation. As far as bitcoin is concerned, it is a financial and technological innovation. We should pay close attention to its potential risks while paying attention to it. " He said

Bank of Canada

in December last year, Stephen poloz, President of the Bank of Canada, also spent some time discussing cryptocurrency. He claims that buying digital currency is a gamble, not an investment

"perhaps no one can say clearly what their real value is. One can at most say that buying digital currency is buying risk. This makes it closer to gambling than investment. " "For people who want to buy cryptocurrency, what I want to say is that you should read the collateral to make sure you know what you're investing in," boloz said

According to boloz, the demand for digital currency will increase in the future. He added that the Central Bank of Canada was studying whether to issue its own digital currency

"bank staff are studying the conditions under which the central bank is more suitable to issue its own digital currency for retail transactions." He said

Reserve Bank of Australia

in December last year, Reserve Bank of Australia President Philip Lowe talked about bitcoin in a speech. He pointed out that this kind of digital currency will not be used in daily payment activities, and it can not be accepted so soon

According to Lowe, the reason is that the price of bitcoin is extremely unstable, the number of payments that can be processed at the same time is limited, the transaction and electricity costs are too high, and the management is too difficult

moreover, when bitcoin is only used as a payment tool, it "is more likely to attract those who want to trade in black or illegal economic activities."

Bank of Japan

at the end of 2017, Haruhiko Kuroda, President of Bank of Japan, said the price fluctuation of bitcoin was "extremely abnormal"

when asked if there will be a bubble in bitcoin, he replied, "I may not be qualified to evaluate it, but if you look at its trend, you will see that its price fluctuation is very abnormal. If you want to ask whether bitcoin has the same function as money, that is, as a payment or settlement tool, then my answer is No

investment should be cautious and private letter from mining machinery is needed

Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency

reasons for blocking:

1. Vulnerability of trading platform. The bitcoin network is robust, but the bitcoin trading platform is fragile. Trading platform is usually a website, which will be attacked by hackers or shut down by competent authorities

The transaction confirmation time is long. When bitcoin wallet is first installed, it will consume a lot of time to download historical transaction data blocks. While bitcoin transaction, in order to confirm the accuracy of data, it will take some time to interact with P2P network, and the transaction will be completed only after the whole network is confirmed

The price fluctuates greatly. Due to the intervention of a large number of speculators, the price of bitcoin for cash fluctuates like a roller coaster. Making bitcoin more suitable for speculation rather than anonymous trading

4. The public did not understand the principle, and the traditional financial practitioners resisted. Active netizens understand the principle of P2P network and know that bitcoin has no legal person to manipulate and control. But the public doesn't understand, and many people can't even tell the difference between bitcoin and q-coin“ "No issuer" is the advantage of bitcoin, but in the view of traditional financial practitioners, "no issuer" currency is worthless

extended materials:

the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's idea, the open source software was designed and released, and the P2P network on it was constructed. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system

unlike most currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses the distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses the design of cryptography to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation

the decentralized feature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially control the value of bitcoin by mass manufacturing. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner

This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to 21 million

bitcoin can be cashed and converted into the currency of most countries. Users can use bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats and equipment in online games. As long as someone accepts it, they can also use bitcoin to buy real-life items

on February 26, 2014, Joe Manchin, a Democratic senator from West Virginia, issued an open letter to a number of regulatory authorities of the US federal government, hoping that the relevant authorities would pay attention to the status quo of bitcoin's encouraging illegal activities and disrupting the financial order, and demanded that actions be taken as soon as possible to completely ban the electronic currency

from 12:00 noon on January 24, 2017, China's three major bitcoin platforms officially began to collect transaction fees

5.

At the G20 meeting, different countries held different views on digital currency, some strongly resisted it, and some actively supervised it. Now let's take a look at the attitudes of the G20 countries towards digital currency

In a statement, the Canadian Securities Regulatory Agency (CSA) said that considering the whole process of ICO issuance, many ICO tokens meet the definition of securities and require them to comply with the securities law. In addition, the CSA noted that ICOS may also be derivatives, subject to derivatives laws passed by Canadian securities regulators, including trade reporting rules. Regulators said they welcome companies that are about to conct ICO to enter the "regulatory sandbox" to test new financial procts in a limited environment

India

the securities and Exchange Commission of India is planning guidelines for the regulation of the bitcoin market in India. In addition, the securities and Exchange Commission of India set up a financial regulatory commission and held meetings with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) officials. The SEC also plans to regulate whether bitcoin derivatives and other cryptocurrencies are used to raise funds illegally

6. In a sense, the outbreak of internet currency represented by bitcoin and other digital currencies is more subversive than any other form of Internet finance. On August 19, 2013, the German government officially recognized the legal "currency" status of bitcoin, which can be used for tax payment and other legal purposes. Germany has become the first country in the world to recognize bitcoin. This means that bitcoin has begun to "wash white" graally, from the Geek's plaything to the public's attention. Perhaps, it can give birth to a real Internet financial empire.

7. Bitcoin, as a form of currency independent of governments, has the possibility of disturbing the normal financial order, which makes governments fight against bitcoin. For China, which pays more attention to the central authority and financial security, it will strengthen the ban on bitcoin. In other words, even if bitcoin can survive, the possible place is not China, because we have always adopted a more cautious and safe attitude towards the supervision of similar financial procts.

8. At present, the concept of bitcoin is too advanced to be popular as the mainstream currency in the world. This is e to the political and economic factors of various countries
2. For the time being, the world's major powers will not declare bitcoin legalization within 20 years, because the rules for the issuance and generation of bitcoin are not in the hands of national willers, but rather operational rules. It's its genes
3. Many people firmly believe that bitcoin is limited. Maybe one day they will find that bitcoin is not limited. It's just that capital speculation needs a concept and a means.

9. Now the central bank comes out to control ~ it should take a form! I am still very strong BTC, the future will certainly rise to 10000, up to 10000 is not a dream!
