Is bitcoin suspected of breaking the law

1.

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

2.

It's not against the law to do bitcoin business, but don't use bitcoin to do illegal things

the following is the bitcoin risk notice issued by the central bank and other five ministries and commissions (bitcoin home has the full text):

the notice defines the nature of bitcoin, and holds that bitcoin is not issued by the monetary authority, has no monetary attributes such as legal compensation and mandatory, and is not a real currency. In terms of nature, bitcoin is a specific virtual commodity, which does not have the same legal status as currency and cannot and should not be used as currency in the market. However, bitcoin trading as a commodity trading behavior on the Internet, ordinary people have the freedom to participate at their own risk

It's not against the law to do bitcoin business, but don't use bitcoin to do illegal things

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

in China, some Taobao stores also began to accept the use of bitcoin, and the number of businesses will graally increase

in October 2013, the first bitcoin quarterly, one bit, was released

on October 15, 2013, the network accelerator service of the network announced its support for bitcoin

on October 26, 2013, btcmini reported that GBL was hacked

on October 31, 2013, Lei Teng, a famous Internet lawyer, proposed the event of "filing a case to investigate the closure of GBL bitcoin trading platform as soon as possible", analyzed the "value function" and "use function" of bitcoin, and bitcoin should be governed by relevant laws

purchase method

< P > users can buy bitcoin, and at the same time, they can use computers to "mine" bitcoin according to algorithms. When users "mine" bitcoin, they need to search for 64 bit numbers by computer

and then, by repeatedly solving mysteries, compete with other gold miners to provide the required numbers for the bitcoin network. If the user's computer successfully creates a set of numbers, it will get 25 bitcoins

e to the decentralized programming of bitcoin system, only 25 bitcoins can be obtained every 10 minutes, and by 2140, the upper limit of bitcoins in circulation will reach 21 million. In other words, bitcoin system is able to achieve self-sufficiency, resist inflation through coding, and prevent others from destroying these codes

It's not against the law

The laws and administrative regulations in China do not prohibit the proction, holding and legal circulation of bitcoin, nor do they prohibit the sale of bitcoin mining machines

2. The investment and transaction of "virtual currency" represented by bitcoin are on the rise. For this kind of virtual goods generated in the Internet environment after the development of Internet technology, there are policy and commercial risks in related transactions. However, under the premise of not violating the mandatory provisions of laws and administrative regulations, the contract signed by the parties is a valid contract

3. Bitcoin is generated by "miner" and "mining", and "miner" can be assumed by anyone in any place in the world. "Mining" is a process in which "miner" provides certain computer computing power according to the open source software provided by the designer, and obtains the special solution of the equation through complex mathematical operations, The miner who gets the special solution gets a certain amount of bitcoin reward

Because bitcoin is based on workload proof, it is related to computing power. To have computing power, we need to consume power, so its power consumption is very large. It is precisely because of such a large power consumption that the safe and stable operation of bitcoin system can be guaranteed

extended information:

according to the data of btc.com website, up to now, the computing power of the whole bitcoin network is about 51.65 eh / s, which is equivalent to 1.84 million bitcoin S15 (28T computing power, 1596w power) mining machines in operation, and the daily power consumption is about 69.92 million kwh. Divided by the current proction of 1800 bitcoins per day, excluding other costs, each bitcoin will consume 38800 kwh of electricity. "

from this point of view, although the current price of bitcoin is expensive, the cryptocurrency market website coinmarketcap.com shows that the current unit price is about $7900, but the cost of mining a bitcoin is not low at all

5. There must be fraud in digital currency investment. It's better to find formal institutions to invest, and don't trust high returns.

6. Bitcoin is a kind of tulip instry, which is supported by a group of people with faith. The daily rise and fall of bitcoin is 30%, which is extremely risky. In finance, most of the procts rise and fall about 0.2% to 1% every day. There is no investment with greater risk. It is recommended not to touch it

7. Bitcoin (bitcoin: bitcoin) was originally a kind of network virtual currency, similar to Tencent's q-coin, but it has been able to buy real-life goods. It is characterized by decentralization, anonymity, and can only be used in the digital world. It does not belong to any country or financial institution, and is not subject to geographical restrictions. It can be exchanged anywhere in the world. Therefore, it is used as a money laundering tool by some criminals. In 2013, the U.S. government recognized the legal status of bitcoin, making the price of bitcoin soar. In China, on November 19, 2013, a bitcoin was equivalent to 6989 yuan. On January 7, 2014, Taobao announced that it would ban the sale of Internet virtual currencies such as bitcoin and lightcoin from January 14.
