1. Germany
at the end of June 2013, after the German parliament decided that bitcoin would be tax-free if it was held for more than one year, bitcoin was recognized as a "unit of account" by the German Ministry of finance, which means that bitcoin has been regarded as a legal currency in Germany and can be used to pay taxes and engage in trade activities< 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 regulation
legal status
bitcoin can still be considered as legal at present. In the world, bitcoin can be regarded as a virtual commodity and protected by law; If bitcoin cannot be officially recognized as a kind of currency by law, it may bring inconvenience to the businesses and indivials who accept bitcoin in tax declaration, because the businesses who accept bitcoin will be regarded as barter transactions, and such transactions are more troublesome than ordinary transactions in tax declaration
at the same time, bitcoin, as a commodity highly similar to currency, needs to meet the demand of anti money laundering. Bitcoin needs to be included in the personal property declaration, banking anti money laundering system, anti insider trading, anti market manipulation and other systems in terms of transaction and possession. Bitcoin exchanges and storage institutions may also need government supervision and licensing. Some fast-growing bitcoin exchanges and payment service providers are actively exploring cooperation with regulatory agencies to bring bitcoin payment into the regulatory framework of anti money laundering and anti-terrorism financing by applying for licenses and actively communicating with regulatory authorities
in Europe, the European Central Bank published a report on "virtual currency architecture", and the French bitcoin trading platform obtained the PSP qualification. On December 6, 2012, the central bank wrote in the report: "this report is the first attempt to provide a basis for discussing the virtual currency system. While these systems may play an active role in financial innovation and in providing consumers with alternative means of payment, they also clearly create risks. " "Because of the small size of virtual currency systems, these risks do not affect anyone other than the users of these systems," the report added The report reviews the history of bitcoin and reviews its basic features, including currency and technical operation.

2. Why should the United States recognize bitcoin as a legal financial instrument? Its purpose is to bring bitcoin into the financial regulatory system to protect the interests of ordinary investors. This is the same starting point as our central bank's announcement to ban bitcoin. A typical representative case is a case called Trenton? In 2011-2012, he amassed 700000 bitcoins with a total value of more than US $4.5 million, but he suddenly closed the trust in August 2012, and then claimed that bitcoin was not money and was not regulated by the US government. In order to protect the interests of investors, in August 2013, the court ruled that bitcoin as a financial instrument should be regulated by the US government. This is interpreted as "the United States recognized bitcoin"

On the afternoon of December 5, 2013, the people's Bank of China issued the notice on preventing bitcoin risks. In the notice, the people's Bank of China said that bitcoin is not a currency, but a virtual commodity. Financial institutions and Payment institutions are not allowed to carry out business related to bitcoin. As soon as the notice was issued, bitcoin fell sharply on China's trading platform, and it has dropped by 60% in three weeks. This is the beginning of bitcoin being restricted by the Central Bank of China. In mid March 2014, the people's Bank of China issued a notice on further strengthening bitcoin risk prevention to all branches of the people's Bank of China, which required all banks and third-party payment institutions to close the trading accounts of 15 domestic bitcoin platforms before April 15. This shows that it is illegal for financial institutions in China to open trading accounts for bitcoin website platforms. Except for cash transactions, bitcoin investors can not conct bank transfer and third-party payment for transactions in China< br />

6. In some places, bitcoin can be used to buy things for specific goods. The Chinese government does not recognize bitcoin, so bitcoin is not recognized in China.
7. European financial thinking has always been relatively advanced, and the laws are sound, so risks can be effectively controlled. Moreover, German laws recognize bitcoin as a "financial tool" rather than a currency, which, to a certain extent, avoids its interference with the existing currency. At the same time, developed countries are aware of the inevitable spread of bitcoin, Bitcoin is proced by cryptography based on hash code algorithm. It exists in all nodes of the network. There is no central issuing institution. The number is fixed at 24 million. It will not collapse or disappear. There will be no counterfeit currency. It can directly realize cross regional one-to-one transactions without the intervention of any intermediary institutions. There are too many advantages that the existing currency can't match; However, Germany is also taking the lead in considering that bitcoin will become a tool for illegal financial activities such as money laundering and drug trafficking, so it is further improving the bitcoin law.
