The current situation and problems of bitcoin
Domestic trading platforms continue to expand the proportion of trading volume in the market, which is in sharp contrast to the "running away" storm encountered by foreign bitcoin trading websites. Mt. GOx, once the world's largest bitcoin trading website, collapsed (on February 25, 2014, Mt. GOx was "declared" bankrupt and could no longer log on. On March 28, Mt. GOx officially filed for bankruptcy, and announced on its website on March 3, 2014 that about 850000 bitcoins were illegally transferred e to the exploitation of bitcoin system vulnerabilities.), It has attracted the attention of bitcoin investors all over the world. Subsequently, flexcoin, a bitcoin trading website in Singapore, suddenly went out of business. Due to the bankruptcy of Mt. GOx, bitcoin transactions on domestic websites also showed obvious fluctuations. On February 25, the domestic bitcoin price once dropped from nearly 3600 yuan to 3050 yuan (a few days later, the bitcoin price returned to around 3865 yuan). In spite of the international panic, the sharp drop in prices can not stop the enthusiasm of Chinese domestic investors
China's bitcoin trading websites have benefited from the storm. According to some data, the trading volume of bitcoin in mainland China now accounts for 70% ~ 80% of the global trading volume, and even the largest trading platform of bitcoin has been taken away by China's bitcoin trading websites. RMB is the second largest currency in the bitcoin exchange market, only next to the US dollar, accounting for 1 / 3. China's market has become a gathering place for bitcoin players. Some experts believe that the biggest reason for the rise in the price of bitcoin is the large number of Chinese buyers. According to the volume data of the largest bitcoin trading platform in China, after the collapse of Mt. GOx on February 25, 2014, the domestic trading volume dropped by nearly 7%, with 334562 transactions (about 1.1 billion yuan) on that day. After that, the trading volume graally stabilized. By March 4, the trading volume rose by 14.05%, reaching 339830 (1.4 billion yuan). From February 25 to March 13, the trading volume in 17 days was 9 billion yuan, 16% higher than that in the previous 17 days. On March 21, 2014, some media reported that the central bank issued a document on March 18, 2014 demanding that all bitcoin transactions be stopped before April 15, 2014. In response to this rumor, the central bank said publicly on the evening of March 21, 2014 through its microblog that it was a false report< At the same time, the central bank said that bitcoin's attitude has been clearly stated in the notice on preventing bitcoin risks (hereinafter referred to as the "notice") issued by the people's Bank of China and other five ministries and commissions
according to the circular issued by the central bank in December 2013, although bitcoin is known as "currency", it is not a real currency because it is not issued by the monetary authority and has no monetary attributes such as legal compensation and compulsion. In nature, bitcoin should be a specific virtual commodity, which does not have the same legal status as currency, and can not and should not be used as currency in the market
the circular also requires that all financial institutions and Payment institutions in China shall not carry out bitcoin related business. Financial institutions and Payment institutions shall not price procts or services with bitcoin, buy or sell bitcoin or act as central counterparties, underwrite insurance business related to bitcoin or include bitcoin into the scope of insurance liability, or directly or indirectly provide customers with other services related to bitcoin
including bitcoin registration, trading, clearing, settlement and other services for customers; Accept bitcoin or use bitcoin as a payment and settlement tool; Carry out bitcoin and RMB and foreign currency exchange services; Carry out bitcoin storage, custody, mortgage and other services; Issuing financial procts related to bitcoin; Take bitcoin as the investment target of trust, fund, etc. Official supervision
on the afternoon of December 5, 2013, the Central Bank of China and other five ministries and commissions jointly issued a notice to guard against bitcoin risks, requiring financial institutions and Payment institutions not to price procts or services with bitcoin. Within an hour of the news, bitcoin prices fell by 35%. At that time, as soon as the policies of the five ministries and commissions came out, the survival space of domestic bitcoin trading websites was greatly doubted. This day was jokingly called "the darkest day for domestic bitcoin entrepreneurs". However, the official policy has not affected the vigorous development of domestic trading platform. These bitcoin trading websites avoid these problems through flexible ways such as bank transfer, transfer recharge and point card recharge
the enthusiasm of the people
Chinese players have become the main crowd in the purchase of bitcoin, which has directly led to the popularity of Chinese bitcoin trading websites, and even the crown of "the world's largest trading platform" has rotated among bitcoin trading websites in China. This scale really surprised many people in the financial sector. Not long after China's regulatory authorities warned about the risks of bitcoin, domestic bitcoin trading websites did not suffer too much impact and quickly walked out of the haze
platform strategy
there are about 5-6 mainstream bitcoin trading platforms in China, which mainly earn income by collecting transaction fees and value-added service fees. However, the transaction rates of these bitcoin trading platforms are very low. With the trading volume and user scale, these trading platforms can also find other more profit points. The development of derivatives and the launch of new trading currencies have become a breakthrough: financial derivatives such as "financing currency" have also begun to appear, and other virtual currencies such as Leyte currency have also become expanded trading varieties
in addition, the "ambition" of these trading platforms is not only related to this, many trading platforms are also further expanding the upstream and downstream instrial chain, such as trying to develop bitcoin wallet, bitcoin payment tools and other applications
according to the report issued by the Institute of international finance, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the market price of bitcoin is determined by supply and demand, and public expectation plays an important role. Bitcoin trading network said on April 10, 2014 that it has received a telephone notice from Hangzhou Science and Technology City branch of Agricultural Bank of China that it will stop using the company's account for settlement of bitcoin related business on April 15. If it fails to stop within the time limit, the company's bank account will be frozen on April 15
bitcoin trading website niucoin has also received calls from instrial and Commercial Bank of China Hangzhou Jiulian sub branch, China Construction Bank Hangzhou Huaxing sub branch and Agricultural Bank of China Hangzhou Science and Technology City sub branch, saying that e to the notice from the superior operation management department, it will stop providing services for niucoin and close its account before April 12. However, there are still eight other banks, including Bank of China, China Merchants Bank and Instrial Bank, which have not been affected. In June 2014, California governor Jerry Brown signed a law to remove restrictions on non dollar currencies. California's old corporate law, section 107, forbids companies or indivials to issue non dollar currencies, that is, virtual currencies and bonus points, such as Amazon coins and Starbucks stars, which are technically illegal. The new bill repeals this provision, and its author, Roger Dickinson, points out that the law ignores the growing reality of alternative currencies and is therefore unrealistic
following the release of bitcoin based electronic signatures on Tuesday, British Finance Minister George Osborne signaled Britain's intention to legalize bitcoin or other similar currency system as digital currency, the Daily Mail reported in 2014.

currency characteristics
Decentralization: bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without a central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom
Global Circulation: bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin
exclusive ownership: the private key is required to manipulate bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself
low transaction cost: bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but a transaction fee of about 1 bitfen will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster transaction execution
no hidden cost: as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay
cross platform Mining: users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms
advantages
complete decentralization, without issuing institutions, it is impossible to manipulate the number of issues. Its distribution and circulation are realized through open-source P2P algorithm. Anonymity, tax exemption and supervision free. Robustness. Bitcoin is completely dependent on P2P network and has no distribution center, so it cannot be shut down externally. Bitcoin price may fluctuate and collapse, and many governments may declare it illegal, but bitcoin and its huge P2P network will not disappear
cross border. Cross border remittance will go through layers of exchange control agencies, and the transaction records will be recorded by many parties. But if you trade with bitcoin, enter the digital address directly, click the mouse and wait for the P2P network to confirm the transaction, a lot of money will pass. It does not go through any regulatory agencies and will not leave any cross-border transaction records. It's hard for a cat to survive. Because bitcoin algorithm is completely open source, anyone can download the source code, modify some parameters, recompile, and create a new P2P currency. But these counterfeit currencies are fragile and vulnerable to 51% attacks. Any indivial or organization, as long as it controls 51% of the computing power of a P2P currency network, can manipulate transactions and currency value at will, which will be a devastating blow to P2P currency. Many Shanzhai coins die in this link. The bitcoin network is robust enough. If you want to control 51% of the computing power of the bitcoin network, the number of CPUs / GPUs required will be astronomical
disadvantages
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. Transaction confirmation takes a long time. 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. 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.
Germany: at the end of June 2013, the German parliament decided that bitcoin would be tax-free if it was held for more than one year. Bitcoin was recognized as the "unit of account" by the German Ministry of finance, which means that bitcoin has been regarded as legal currency in Germany and can be used to pay taxes and engage in trade activities
United States: in August 2013, judge Amos mazant of Texas District Court ruled in a case of bitcoin virtual hedge fund that bitcoin is a kind of currency and should be included in the scope of financial regulations
China: in China, the regulations on the administration of RMB prohibit the proction and sale of token tickets. Because there is no clear judicial interpretation of the definition of token ticket, if bitcoin is included in the "token ticket", the legal prospect of bitcoin in China will face uncertainty< On June 4, 2009, the notice of the Ministry of culture and the Ministry of Commerce on strengthening the management of virtual currency in online games (Wen Shi Fa [2009] No. 20) stated that the scope of application of virtual currency in online games was defined for the first time, and a distinction was made between the current virtual currency in online games and the virtual props in games; At the same time, the notice said that the "notice" stipulates that enterprises engaged in related services must be approved before they can operate

for example, if it's Q currency, it's definitely worth investing
except for this kind of virtual currency which is widely used and almost everyone knows it, no other currency is worth investing
except for the point card Yuanbao of a large game
but Q currency or the point card Yuanbao of a large online game They won't let you invest in it.....
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 a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction. 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[ 1-2]
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 institutions would pay attention to the status quo of bitcoin's encouraging illegal activities and disrupting the financial order, and take action as soon as possible to completely ban the electronic currency[ 3]
