The United States federal court defines bitcoin as currency

Publish: 2021-04-18 04:11:09
1. It is not a real currency, but an electronic currency, which cannot be accepted by the financial society. The concept of bitcoin, which can be regarded as a virtual commodity,
was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's ideas, open source software was designed and released, and P2P network was built on it. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system. 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
compared with fiat money, bitcoin does not have a centralized issuer, but is generated by the calculation of network nodes. Anyone can participate in the manufacture of bitcoin, and it can circulate all over the world. It can be bought and sold on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where they are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin, And in the transaction process, foreigners can not identify the user's identity information
bitcoin is a kind of network virtual currency with limited quantity, but it can be used to cash out: it can be converted into the currency of most countries. You can use bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats, equipment, etc. in online games. As long as someone accepts it, you can also use bitcoin to buy real-life items.

As early as 2013, the central bank and other five ministries and commissions issued a document clearly defining bitcoin as a specific virtual commodity. According to relevant regulations, financial institutions and Payment institutions are not allowed to carry out the exchange services between bitcoin and RMB or foreign currency

in view of this, on August 30, China Internet Finance Association took the lead in issuing risk tips for ICO (i.e., the first issue of token, the raising of bitcoin, Ethereum and other general digital currencies in blockchain projects). On September 4, the central bank and other seven departments issued a document calling for the suspension of all kinds of token issuance and financing. On September 13, the China Internet Finance Association issued a reminder on the virtual currency trading platform and market risk. On the evening of September 15, huocoin confirmed that it had officially received the notice and guidance from the regulatory authorities, requiring it to clean up and rectify the virtual currency transactions

The number of bitcoin is too small to circulate on a large scale in society. Moreover, its existence is not guaranteed by the national credit, but based on the trust between bitcoin players, so the credit of this "currency" is relatively low

moreover, the number of bitcoin is small, and it is too concentrated in the hands of several big players, resulting in its price is very unstable. This is basically not money. Because as a general currency, an important prerequisite is price stability, otherwise the economic order will collapse

bitcoin has no value base; The price fluctuates sharply; There are three basic reasons why bitcoin can't become the world currency e to the lack of support from monetary authorities

can bitcoin become a real currency? http://www.financialnews.com.cn/yw/pl/201401/t20140107_ 47595. HTML

since the birth of the first bitcoin seven years ago, bitcoin has been developing rapidly and caused a lot of controversy. The discussion focuses on how to define bitcoin, whether it can become a currency and even become an international currency in the future

in 2013, bitcoin was very popular in China, not only the price soared, but also was evaluated as "a big challenge to the current monetary system" by some analysts. In early December 2013, the people's Bank of China, together with five ministries and commissions, issued the notice on preventing bitcoin risks, pointing out that bitcoin is a specific virtual commodity, not a real currency. Then, bitcoin prices fell

at the beginning of the new year, on January 4, the National Bank of Malaysia announced on its website that it would not recognize bitcoin as a legal currency, and urged the public to be vigilant against its risks. In fact, since the second half of 2013, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Norway and other countries have successively made their stand against bitcoin trading activities, and they do not recognize bitcoin as a currency in the market

At the same time, it is reported that in January this year, the world's first bitcoin atmrobocoin entered the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets. Companies also plan to launch bitcoin ATMs in more parts of Europe, Canada and the United States

on the one hand, the relevant regulatory authorities have "made their stand clear"; on the other hand, the global layout of bitcoin has been advancing rapidly. How to determine the nature of bitcoin and its future development momentum have once again attracted the attention of all parties

Sheng Songcheng, director general of the survey and Statistics Department of the people's Bank of China, published an article entitled "virtual currency is not money in essence -- take bitcoin as an example" in his own name, emphasizing that virtual currency represented by bitcoin is not money in essence and it is difficult to become money

he believes that bitcoin lacks national credit support and is difficult to perform the function of commodity exchange medium as the base currency. Modern credit currency (paper money) represents national credit, and actually represents the proction and transaction of commodities in the whole society. As long as the national machine works normally, the coercive force of national laws can give the public trust in the standard currency. Bitcoin has no value itself, no national credit support, and no guarantee of the whole society's commodity proction and trade, so it does not have the value basis of money. In addition, bitcoin has no legal compensation and compulsion, and its circulation range is limited and unstable. Bitcoin has strong substitutability, so it is difficult to be a general equivalent

Secondly, the number and scale of bitcoin have set an upper limit, which is difficult to meet the needs of modern economic development. He believes that there is a contradiction between the limited quantity of bitcoin and the expanding social proction and commodity circulation. If bitcoin becomes the standard currency, it will inevitably lead to deflation and inhibit economic development. The limitation of quantity also makes bitcoin's function as a means of circulation and payment greatly reced, which makes it easier to become a speculative object rather than a medium of exchange

Thirdly, bitcoin lacks a central regulation mechanism, which is not compatible with the modern credit currency system. Sheng Songcheng believes that bitcoin does not have a centralized issuer, so it is easy to be over hyped, resulting in excessive price fluctuations, and can not become a pricing currency and circulation means, so it needs to be converted into bitcoin to pay; Bitcoin is also not controlled by the monetary authorities, so it is difficult to play the role of economic adjustment means

at the end of the article, Sheng Songcheng also made it clear that money is inseparable from economic operation and economic development, and is not a pure proct of technology. As long as there is no fundamental change in the form of modern economic and social organizations, the monetary system based on national credit will exist, and bitcoin and other virtual currencies will not become the standard currency of a country, and thus not the real currency, "but the Utopia of technology supremacy and absolute liberalism"

As for the prosperity and significance of bitcoin, Sheng Songcheng explained, "the emergence of bitcoin reflects people's worries about inflation under the condition of credit currency in a sense. Central banks should strengthen liquidity management, reasonably regulate money supply, keep prices basically stable, and promote stable economic and social development. "

ring the writing period, our reporter contacted Sheng Songcheng again on issues related to bitcoin. He stressed again in the interview: "bitcoin is not the real currency, the real currency can only be the standard currency."

Sheng Songcheng said, "from the perspective of the history of monetary theory, bitcoin is not new. Its essence is the privatization of currency issuance or the non nationalization of currency. Hayek, a famous Austrian economist and Nobel laureate, put forward a proposal many years ago, and Friedman, a famous American economist, also made a similar proposal. However, their opinions are only a theoretical analysis tool, which is difficult to operate in real economic life, and the modern economy is increasingly inseparable from the country's macro-control. This financial crisis and its response is a good proof. Money is one of the main means of national macro-control and the basis of modern state and government. How can it be privatized? So I use the word "Utopia."“ In my opinion, technology can not replace the national attribute. Any digital currency can only be the realization form of standard currency. Therefore, electronic money will develop, and virtual money is utopia. " Sheng Songcheng said, "as long as there is a modern state, virtual currency will not be a currency. Many people ignore the national and social attributes behind money and think that money is just a natural entity. "

as for the future development prospects of bitcoin, a commercial bank analyst interviewed said: "bitcoin trading, as a commodity trading behavior on the Internet, ordinary people have the freedom to participate in it at their own risk, and there is still a lot of room for development in this aspect. At present, in view of the fact that bitcoin has not had any impact on the monetary policy of central banks, and from the perspective of issuing technology, it seems to have enlightenment, so many central banks hold a wait-and-see attitude towards it. "

but as for whether bitcoin can play the role of currency in the future, or even international currency, the analyst said that it is "not optimistic". He said, "even if some countries want to use bitcoin as the world settlement currency, but it is in private hands, and the price fluctuates violently, can it become an international currency? Moreover, the important premise for it to become an international currency is that the authorities of all countries recognize its monetary nature, which itself is a difficult problem. "

Sheng Songcheng also said, "bitcoin does not have a value base; The price fluctuates sharply; There are three basic reasons why bitcoin can't become a world currency without the support of national monetary authorities. "

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. mining is that you help bitcoin network out of the computer to help witness the transaction, and bitcoin network gives you bitcoin as a salary. At present, the attitude of the international community is as follows: to recognize the status of currency: for example, the United States, Germany and other countries that recognize it as a speculative commodity, but do not recognize it as a currency; China and other countries that prohibit the use and trading of currency; Thailand, Russia and other countries that recognize that non recognition has little to do with mining, but it is mainly decided by the national system, just like some countries have freedom, In some countries, only the two countries that do not recognize it are: the prevention of the huge bubble of national speculation and the great risk (most countries have this worry) to prevent the rise of bitcoin from causing the status of the legal tender to be shaken (some countries consider it so).

[characteristics of bitcoin]

the reason why bitcoin is anonymous is that they are built on a decentralized system. Bitcoin is completely independent, and the outside world cannot shut it down through some kind of core infrastructure

"anonymity" is very useful for those who don't want to associate their name with the goods or services they purchase. What outsiders see is nothing more than the address of your bitcoin wallet and a string of random words and numbers. Besides, there is no information that can identify themselves. For relatively paranoid users, they can also create many new wallets for free.

bitcoin is designed to allow anonymous ownership and use rights. Bitcoin can be stored in personal computers in the form of computer files (wallets) or in third-party hosting services. No matter how it is saved, bitcoin can be sent to anyone on the Internet through its address. The distributed characteristics of P2P and the design of no central management mechanism ensure that no organization can manipulate the value of bitcoin or create inflation. Its main features are as follows:

< UL >
  • decentralization

  • < / UL >

    bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without a central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of the security and freedom of bitcoin

    < UL >
  • circulation around the world

  • < / UL >

    bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin

    < UL >
  • exclusive ownership

  • < / UL >

    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

    < UL >
  • low transaction cost

  • < / UL >

    bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but in the end, a transaction fee of about 1 bit will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster execution of the transaction

    < UL >
  • no hidden cost

  • < / UL >

    as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay

    < UL >
  • cross platform mining

  • < / UL >

    users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms


    [bitcoin acquisition method]

    first of all, your computer should be installed with the latest version of bitcoin client. After opening the client, all the transaction information data on the network will be automatically downloaded to the local. Depending on the network speed, this process may take several hours. At this time, the account balance is 0. Users can ask friends to send some coins, but a more feasible way is to do mining or merchant acquisition[ 6]

    < UL >

  • mining as a miner

  • < / UL >

    to be a miner is to proce bitcoin with one's own computer. In the early client, there was the option of mining, but it has been cancelled. The reason is very simple. With more and more people participating in mining, it may take several years for one to dig 50 coins, So miners generally organize into miners' guild, and they dig together. Specific mining methods, you can go online search. This method is already very unrealistic

    < UL >
  • as a businessman, you can buy coins g by miners with money, open an online shop to sell things and collect bitcoin, and even go to the exchange to speculate in coins. There are many websites providing bitcoin exchange services, which can be converted into almost any kind of currency. If you really don't know how to exchange, you can also come to laoan for help


    the difficulty of bitcoin mining is directly proportional to the amount of money that has been mined. The more difficult it is to mine, the more difficult it will be. After 20 million bitcoins are mined out in 2030, the remaining 1 million bitcoins will probably take decades to be mined out. And bitcoin has no central issuing authority, which is generated by network nodes through complex calculations. Anyone can run bitcoin software on a computer to make it. During circulation, enter the quantity 1 on the client software, then come to the other party's bitcoin address and sign with the payer's password. After that, the bitcoin is the other party's

    Personally, I don't think blockchain development technology is reliable. It's just what kind of R & D technology group you choose. Even if you choose a better R & D technology group, you may not be able to achieve the blockchain technology you require. Different instries and fields have different technical indicators, not to mention this complex new technology. On the other hand, let the R & D technology group agree with the machine instry thinking you need to apply, otherwise the procts developed will not meet your requirements. We focus on the professional field of blockchain technology, and the project has been carried out for more than a year, but it has not been successfully implemented. The difficulty is that overthrowing the traditional model will touch a great chain of interests, so it must be a process of graal infiltration

    according to what you said: blockchain based on machine learning can be understood as asking a technical question


    I hope the above answers can help you

    On July 25, 2020, the U.S. federal court said for the first time that bitcoin and other virtual currencies are a kind of "currency" covered by the country's laws, which means that bitcoin is not only a commodity transaction category, but also money with monetary attributes. However, the U.S. federal government does not regard it as legal tender, so there is no need to over read it. The U.S. dollar is still far from collapse, As far as the current world monetary pattern is concerned, it is difficult for us dollar to replace its position for the time being. Even if the United States recognizes bitcoin as a currency, it is difficult to compare it with the US dollar. It is only for various reasons

    there is no doubt that blockchain technology will lead the market reform, optimize the current financial payment system, and form a more secure, fast and stable monetary system. There are many kinds of air currencies in the market, but they will not become the leading role. The last big corner is still in the central banks, The cryptocurrency launched by the central bank itself is the real mainstream in the future
