The Japanese government does not recognize bitcoin

1. For the hard bifurcations of bitcoin network, the foreign market is very calm. As the largest trading market of bitcoin in Japan, the development of bitcoin in Japan has experienced twists and turns. After the bankruptcy of Japan's largest bitcoin trading platform in 2014, the bitcoin market once fell to the bottom. However, recently, the trading volume of bitcoin in Japan has increased sharply again, and the application scope of bitcoin is also expanding

coincheck is one of the largest bitcoin trading platforms in Japan. At present, the total monthly transaction amount of this platform has increased from about 3 billion yen at the beginning of last year to 36 billion yen now, expanding 12 times. As for the development of the platform, the president of coincheck, a bitcoin trading platform in Japan, said that in the near future, one bitcoin can be exchanged for 140000 to 150000 yen (about 8700 to 9300 yuan), which is 2.5 times higher than that of the same period last year, and the total number of users registered on the major bitcoin platforms in Japan has exceeded 600000.

among the prosperous shops in Ginza, Tokyo, Japan, You can also see a bitcoin trading machine that can exchange invisible bitcoin and yen notes. People choose to buy, sell and other operations in the trading machine interface, and can easily complete the transaction by scanning the two-dimensional code of the bitcoin wallet on their mobile phone. At present, there are six such bitcoin trading machines in Tokyo and 14 in Japan

in Japan, more than 4200 businesses have accepted bitcoin payment. At this sushi restaurant, when customers check out, they can choose to pay by scanning the QR code of bitcoin bill. Since the introction of bitcoin payment system into the sushi restaurant, the turnover generated by bitcoin payment in one month has reached 500000 to 1 million yen, equivalent to 30000 to 60000 yuan. The manager of a sushi restaurant in Japan said that for businesses, the service charge for using bitcoin to settle accounts is only 1%, which is very cost-effective and convenient.

2. Japan has legalized it, and it is also legal in China as an investment proct

3. Japan's financial services agency (FSA) announced earlier that the latest revised version of Japan's payment services act has been passed and officially took effect on April 1, 2017. Bitcoin is recognized as a payment method in the service bill and strictly regulated
in this bill, the Legislative Council defines bitcoin as an asset rather than a currency. People can use it as a way of payment for transactions
relevant units have also put forward requirements that service providers or exchanges operating in bitcoin must register with the Prime Minister of Japan, and the capital scale must not be less than 10 million yen. They must have information technology systems that can prevent theft and loss, and must establish a variety of systems and processes, involving training, internal regulations, governance, outsourcing guidance, etc
the amendment bill also amends the prevention of the transfer of proceeds of crime act. Regulators have asked bitcoin to implement a more stringent "know your customer" process than it currently does. The exchange must verify the identity of the account opening user, keep the transaction records, and report the suspicious transaction records to the regulatory authorities.

4. Bitcoin is a kind of digital code in the form of P2P. Bitcoin is not issued by specific currency institutions, it is generated by a large number of calculations based on 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
bitcoin lacks stability, so it doesn't have "inherent value", it's just a virtual proct. If we recognize its legitimacy, it will have a significant adverse impact on the banks of all countries, and even can replace the currencies of all countries. Finally, a few people will manipulate the world's monetary system, which is a very dangerous existence. It's not money. Whether it's legal or not depends entirely on whether a country recognizes it as legal or not< At present, the United States, China and South Korea all think it is not a currency. Among the big countries, bitcoin is only recognized as the "unit of account" by the German Ministry of finance, but it is only a unit of account, which does not mean that it is mainly a currency.

5. Bitcoin, as a form of currency independent of governments, has the possibility of disturbing the normal financial order, which makes governments fight against bitcoin. For China, which pays more attention to the central authority and financial security, it will strengthen the ban on bitcoin. In other words, even if bitcoin can survive, the possible place is not China, because we have always adopted a more cautious and safe attitude towards the supervision of similar financial procts.

bitcoin:

is an electronic currency proced by open-source P2P software. digital currency is a kind of network virtual currency. Bitcoin is also paraphrased as "bitcoin."

bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions to issue, 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. Since bitcoin was born with an algorithm, it was stipulated from the beginning that all bitcoins in the world would not exceed 21 million bitcoins. Because bitcoin is not regulated by the government, it is not subject to inflation constraints and external control

people use the computing power of CPU and CpG to "mine" to unlock the new bitcoin. To put it figuratively: bitcoin is equivalent to a gold mine created by people using computers. The setting of this gold mine is limited. The upper limit is 21 million bitcoin. People dig out bitcoin one by one just like miners using the principle of CPU computing

the principle of bitcoin, the distributed characteristics of P2P and the design without central management mechanism ensure that no institution can control the value of bitcoin or create inflation. This decentralization makes it a more secure and value preserving "virtual currency"

But in fact, netizens, as well as traders and investors of bitcoin, do not see one of the biggest drawbacks of bitcoin: bitcoin is not unique

What do you mean? We think that bitcoin is the only one with a cap of 21 million, which seems to have the function of preserving value. But the principle of bitcoin algorithm is not only applicable to "bitcoin", a kind of currency from Japan. Every computer engineer can develop the corresponding algorithm, make a man-made gold mine, and control its upper limit. In this way, every country, every region and every person can develop countless algorithms. Then the market will be full of virtual currencies such as "bitcoin a", "bitcoin B", "bitcoin C", "bitcoin D", and so on. By that time, who are you going to invest in? You can create your own currency

this hidden danger is not a dream. In fact, it has already started. You can log on bitcoin's official website in China. You will find that in addition to bitcoin, there is now another kind of thing called "Yuanbao coin". This is an algorithm similar to bitcoin developed by a Chinese development team. It also has the same upper limit. The same people can't control it and dig Yuanbao coin out through "mining"

if they can do this, I believe many computer workers can also write their own "Yuan Bao coin", "gold and silver coin", "China bitcoin" and "Shanghai bitcoin". Bitcoin, as the first code to appear, has no credit support from the Central Bank of any country. It has value only because of the scarcity of 21 million. In fact, this scarcity does not exist, because everyone can develop the virtual currency code, and then people from all over the world can mine it. So what's the price of bitcoin? There are limited kinds of metals on earth, so each metal has different value according to its quantity and scarcity. But the bitcoin like code in the network world is infinite. As long as people are willing, they can create unlimited kinds of bitcoin code. Tell me, is bitcoin still valuable

blockchain Technology:

the main function of blockchain is to store information. Any information that needs to be saved can be written to or read from the blockchain, so it is a database

the essence of blockchain is to achieve the goal of decentralization and disintermediation through a new generation of data technology, so as to transmit value more transparently and efficiently. This kind of point-to-point verification will proce a new network "basic protocol" which is different from TCP / IP in the Internet era

blockchain shows us a world in which all assets will be digitized. In a valuable Internet, the transfer of assets will be as fast, convenient and cheap as the transmission of information today

the significance of blockchain is not the wealth of digital currency, but the value transmission of its technology itself. Therefore, Ma Yun has repeatedly separated blockchain from digital currency, and stressed that the extent to which blockchain technology will change the world is beyond people's imagination

difference:

blockchain is a technology, based on blockchain technology, there can be many applications

bitcoin: is one of the most popular and well-known applications
