Bitcoin crime

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

As of July 24, 2020, the state has not issued any laws to prove that bitcoin mining machine is illegal

bitcoin mining machine is one of the ways to obtain bitcoin. Bitcoin is a kind of network virtual currency proced by open source P2P software

it doesn't rely on the issuance of specific monetary institutions, and it is generated through a large number of calculations of specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction

extended data

the issue and transaction of bitcoin are realized by mining, and it is cast at a certain but slowing rate. Each new block is accompanied by a certain number of new bitcoin from scratch, which is used as a coinbase transaction to reward the miners who find the block

the reward for each block is not fixed. For every 210000 blocks mined, it takes about four years, and the currency issuance rate is reced by 50%. In the first four years of bitcoin's operation, each block created 50 new bitcoins. Each block creates 12.5 new bitcoins. In addition to the block award, the miner will receive a handling fee for all transactions within the block<

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

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>

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. Virtual currency does not belong to electronic currency. There's a bit of a similarity. E-money is the electronic circulation of money, that is to say, the fundamental nature of e-money and money is the same. Virtual currency, from the beginning of q-coin game currency to the present bitcoin, bcbot and other digital currencies, belongs to virtual currency, which belongs to the activity of decentralization that has not been recognized, although digital currency also has some attributes of electronic currency.

8. As a virtual currency, bitcoin has the characteristics of borderless and cross-border
ordinary cross-border remittance will go through layers of foreign exchange control institutions, 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
criminals convert the stolen money into bitcoin before trading. With the current technical means, the public security organs can not investigate the capital flow.
