Is it legal to purchase bitcoin

1.

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

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>

3. Whether bitcoin is legal or not depends on the attitude of monetary authorities
the further development of bitcoin may threaten the interests of traditional currencies, and currency issuers will not cede their rights to an open-source P2P algorithm. So governments are likely to outlaw bitcoin
once governments declare it illegal, it may cause huge fluctuations in its price in the short term. It could be a crash, it could be a surge. Because people at the bottom of the world are obviously resistant to their governments< At the same time, the ban by the government will lead to the closure of bitcoin trading platform. After the closing of the trading platform, bitcoin can only be cashed in private, which will have a great impact on its cashing ability< However, e to the characteristics of bitcoin itself, it provides an excellent channel for officials of various countries to accept bribes, launder money and transfer assets overseas. Especially in the trend that officials of various countries disclose their property, bitcoin provides a good way for them to hold huge property anonymously
from this perspective, some officials may actively promote the legalization of bitcoin< On May 7, 2013, officials from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said that they were considering whether the online virtual currency "bitcoin" could be applied to the agency's regulations. CFTC is the highest regulator of the derivatives instry in the United States. Bitcoin is known as a currency independent of traditional authority, and if it is regulated more, it may bring challenges to its supporters
CFTC mainly supervises derivatives contracts. Its responsibilities have been greatly expanded after the financial crisis in 2007-2009, and it also has full power to supervise retail foreign exchange dealers
Bart Chilton, one of the five members of the CFTC, said on Monday that he had asked the committee to consider regulating bitcoin to determine whether consumers need additional protection when using bitcoin[ 15]
the Hong Kong government has approved GBL electronic currency trading center to operate virtual currency exchange business, which will be an important milestone in the development of bitcoin. GBL virtual electronic currency trading center has completed the equity change and has the business scope of virtual electronic currency exchange business.

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

5. We should remind them properly, but we can't pass them. Once we get suspicious, it's not good

6. According to the current statement of the five ministries, bitcoin is a commodity and is legally traded. Another is that bitcoin is more risky and profitable than stocks, and speculation should be sharp and resolute. I'm optimistic about bitcoin because it's a technological innovation similar to the Internet. We should dare to go ahead of others to achieve success rather than victory.
