Bitcoin's international legitimacy
bitcoin lacks stability, so it doesn't have "inherent value", it's just a virtual proct. If we recognize its legitimacy, it will have a significant adverse impact on the banks of all countries, and even can replace the currencies of all countries. Finally, a few people will manipulate the world's monetary system, which is a very dangerous existence. It's not money. Whether it's legal or not depends entirely on whether a country recognizes it as legal or not< At present, the United States, China and South Korea all think it is not a currency. Among the big countries, bitcoin is only recognized as the "unit of account" by the German Ministry of finance, but it is only a unit of account, which does not mean that it is mainly a currency.
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
Bitcoin is illegal in China
since September 4, 2017, China has expressed its opposition to the virtual currency exchange. On the market, large-scale exchanges are graally fading out of the domestic market. Some of them are going to Japan and some of them are going to Nanyang. Of course, with the release of new regulations in Hong Kong in early November, we believe that in the future, the virtual currency exchange may obtain a legal license in Hong Kong to serve local institutional investors

bitcoin has four main characteristics: no centralized issuers, limited amount, no geographical restrictions and anonymity.
