Is it legal to buy and sell bitcoin in mainland China
although bitcoin still has great risks, after years of development, with the increase of its application population, application scenarios and application technology, no country or organization can completely eliminate it. If you can figure it out, it is likely that countries will generally accept bitcoin and embrace it
according to my personal judgment, bitcoin, after a period of continuous development, is likely to become a world currency in the future, which can play the role of electronic gold and become the target of the value of other sovereign currencies. From this perspective, bitcoin can be used as a means of asset preservation in the future when inflation is inevitable
Unfortunately, bitcoin is no longer tradable in mainland China. Bitcoin China announced that it will stop all trading business on September 30, 2017
development information:
after bitcoin China and microbit, the bitcoin trading platforms in Shanghai and Shenzhen, respectively announced that they would close their trading business on September 30, 2017, on the evening of September 15, two other large domestic bitcoin trading platforms, Huo coin.com and okcoin.com, headquartered in Beijing, announced that they would suspend their registration from 21:30 on September 15, 2017 RMB recharge business; All users will be informed before September 30 that they are about to stop trading, and the trading business of all digital assets against RMB will be graally stopped before October 31
according to worldcoindex data, since September 1, bitcoin has dropped from $4800 to $3655, a drop of 24%, and its market value has shrunk by nearly $20 billion
in the same period, the decline of ether currency and Wright currency was 37.5% and 31% respectively. Over the past two weeks, Leyte currency has declined by more than 40% on the three major domestic trading platforms
No illegal
in the bitcoin risk notice jointly issued by the people's Bank of China and other five ministries and commissions at the end of 2013, bitcoin is clearly defined as a special Internet commodity, and people can buy and sell it freely at their own risk. But it denies the monetary nature of bitcoin< The Article 143 of the general provisions of the civil law stipulates that "the civil legal act with the following conditions is valid:
(1) the actor has the corresponding capacity for civil conct< (2) the expression of intention is true< (3) it does not violate the mandatory provisions of laws and administrative regulations, public order and good customs. " The announcement of the seven ministries and commissions is neither a law nor an administrative regulation, and can not be used as a legal basis for judging whether a civil juristic act is valid or not; The law does not go back to the past. Therefore, the bitcoin transaction has legal effect, and the bitcoin obtained from the transaction is protected by law. Therefore, legal disputes arising from trading activities, including civil or criminal cases, should be subject to jurisdiction. Courts or public security organs can not refuse to accept bitcoin because they think bitcoin is not protected by law

transaction mode
bitcoin is e-cash similar to e-mail, and both parties need "bitcoin wallet" similar to e-mail and "bitcoin address" similar to e-mail address. Just like sending and receiving e-mail, the remitter pays bitcoin directly to the other party through a computer or smart phone according to the recipient's address. The following table lists some websites that download bitcoin wallets and addresses for free
a bitcoin address is a string of about 33 characters long, consisting of letters and numbers, always starting with 1 or 3, such as & quot& quot; Bitcoin software can generate address automatically, and it does not need to exchange information online when generating address, so it can be offline [2]. More than 2 bitcoin addresses are available. Figuratively speaking, there are about two grains of sand in the world. If there is an earth in each grain of sand, then the total number of bitcoin addresses far exceeds the number of all the sand on all these "earths"
the bitcoin address and private key appear in pairs, and their relationship is just like the bank card number and password. A bitcoin address is like a bank card number, which records how much bitcoin you have on it. You can generate bitcoin address at will to store bitcoin. When each bitcoin address is generated, a corresponding private key of the address will be generated. This private key proves that you have ownership of the bitcoin at that address. We can simply understand the bitcoin address as the bank card number, and the private key of the address as the password of the corresponding bank card number. Only when you know the bank password can you use the money on the bank card number. Therefore, please keep your address and private key when using bitcoin wallet
after the transaction data of bitcoin is packaged into a "data block" or "block", the transaction is initially confirmed. When a block is linked to a previous block, the transaction is further confirmed. After six block confirmations in a row, the transaction was irreversibly confirmed. Bitcoin P2P stores all transaction history in a "blockchain.". The blockchain continues to extend, and once new blocks are added to the blockchain, they will not be removed. Blockchain is actually a distributed database composed of a group of scattered client nodes and all participants, which is a record of all bitcoin transaction history. Nakamoto predicts that when the amount of data increases, users hope that not all the data will be stored in their own nodes. In order to achieve this goal, he uses the hash function mechanism. In this way, the client will be able to automatically eliminate those parts that it will never use, such as some very early bitcoin transactions
Bitcoin has become the most popular cryptocurrency in the world. Some countries allow the transaction of bitcoin, but some countries prohibit it. China belongs to the latter. Why does China shut down bitcoin trading? Let's analyze this problem today
bitcoin does not have the function of trading medium in China, so it can not be called currency. At the same time, bitcoin has the function of storing value and has certain investment value. However, the rapid rise of the current price has formed speculative anticipation and may form a bubble in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures ahead of time, which can also restrain some illegal acts of laundering money and transferring assets through bitcoin. p>
Radar currency is a kind of virtual currency, which does not have the value of real currency and has high risk, so it should not be invested
in 2017, the people's Bank of China and other seven ministries and commissions jointly issued the announcement on preventing the risks of token issuance and financing, which clearly pointed out that the token or "virtual currency" used in token issuance and financing is not issued by the monetary authority, has no monetary attributes such as legal compensation and mandatory, and does not have the same legal status as currency, It cannot and should not be used as currency in the market
at the same time, the announcement also pointed out that illegal selling and circulation, raising so-called "virtual currency" from investors, such as bitcoin and Ethernet, is essentially an unauthorized illegal public financing behavior, which is suspected of illegal selling token bills, issuing securities, illegal fund-raising, financial fraud, pyramid selling and other illegal criminal activities

the value of real currency or something with monetary attribute is guaranteed from two aspects: one is the strong state power guarantee and endorsement, the other is the general public use and irreplaceable. Therefore, virtual currency is obviously not real currency<
after the regulatory authorities have made clear their attitude, although bitcoin China, huocoin.com and other "virtual currency" operators have successively taken restrictive measures on the trading platform, the risk of "virtual currency" speculation still deserves high vigilance
in response, the China Internet Finance Association also said in the "tips on preventing the risks of bitcoin and other so-called" virtual currencies ", that bitcoin and other so-called" virtual currencies "lack a clear value basis and are increasingly becoming tools for money laundering, drug trafficking, smuggling, illegal fund-raising and other criminal activities
investors participate in speculation through the "virtual currency" trading platform, and face the risk of price fluctuation, security risk, platform technology risk, etc., which need to be borne by investors themselves
