Founder of Shanghai blockchain energy
Dongyang Public Security Bureau of Zhejiang Province immediately started the investigation and found that Qiao was not the only one who suffered losses. Through efforts, the police of the special task force determined the identity of the manager of the GBL trading platform and implemented the pursuit in time. The first case of fraud on bitcoin trading platform in China was solved
lawyer analysis:
Zhang Yanlai, senior special researcher of China e-commerce research center and lawyer of Zhejiang Jin law firm, believes that virtual currency is not a new concept. Q-coin and online game currency have long been known by people. However, the emergence of bitcoin once again makes people realize the power of virtual currency. Compared with the traditional q-coin, the biggest feature of bitcoin is that it does not have a unified issuing agency. The generation of bitcoin completely depends on computer algorithms, and anyone can participate in the issuance of bitcoin
this makes it difficult to trace the source of bitcoin, which makes it a real virtual currency. The anonymity, cross-border and other Internet genes of bitcoin make people see a new form of currency that may circulate in the future society, so the pursuit and use of bitcoin also continued to rise in 2013. Some foreign governments have recognized the legal status of bitcoin. In China, some online stores have begun to use bitcoin for trading. Restaurants that accept "bitcoin" consumption have appeared in Beijing. The first "bitcoin" investment fund in China is also being raised. After the Ya'an earthquake, one foundation has received a total of 65 bitcoin donations, with a market price of about 50000 yuan
of course, money laundering, fraud, gambling and so on will follow. This case is a typical case of fraud under the banner of bitcoin trading. As the first case of bitcoin fraud in China, the public security organs have also concted in-depth study and understanding of the professional knowledge related to bitcoin, and finally cracked the case. On December 5, 2013, the people's Bank of China, the Ministry of instry and information technology and other five ministries and commissions issued the notice on prevention of bitcoin risk, which first made it clear that bitcoin does not have the status of legal tender, and required financial institutions and Payment institutions not to price procts or services with bitcoin. The central bank believes that there are three risks in bitcoin Trading: high speculative risk; High risk of money laundering and being used by criminals or organizations. In the future, the future of bitcoin is not clear, especially in sovereign countries, which will take a prudent and conservative attitude towards currency, which involves financial order and national security. Therefore, the public should also raise enough risk awareness.
The bitcoin white paper was first published at the end of 2008, when the creators sent it to multiple recipients on an encrypted mailing list. Strangely, its creator pretended to be Satoshi Nakamoto, hiding behind the pseudonym
Another reason for Nakamoto's anonymity can be explained as that the creators of alternative currencies easily put themselves at risk In 1998, Hawaiian resident Bernard von nohaus created a private currency called free dollar. It has been popular for some time, but its coinage was suddenly raided by the FBI and secret service in 2007. After a criminal lawsuit in 2009, the money was confiscated and Bernard von norhaus was convicted of "making private coins that compete with the official currency of the United States." In addition, in 2007, a digital currency called e-gold was accused of being illegal because it did not collect enough customer information. Its owner was sentenced to house arrest and the company was shut down. The arrest of entrepreneurs in alternative currencies by government agencies may have been a factor in China's decision to remain anonymouseveryone can use bitcoin. This means it can be used to pay for legal and illegal services, as well as legal bids however, it has always been a popular payment method in the black net market. Ross Ulbricht, the notorious dark Internet market maker and operator, was jailed for facilitating the trading of drugs and other contraband
Ross Ulbricht appealed to the US Supreme Court in December 2017, but is still in prison. If Nakamoto reveals his true identity, it can be inferred that he may face a similar fate
who would he be
in 2016, Craig Wright, an Australian programmer, claimed to be Chinese. He provided some evidence, but later found that it was not conclusive because it could be obtained publicly from books. He was also accused of falsifying announcements and blog posts to show his real Chinese version. For example, vitalik buterin, founder of Ethereum, recently called Craig white a liar
The other is Hal Finney. He is a famous cryptopunk and Cryptologist. He was also the first person to receive bitcoin from Nakamoto in 2009. He was also the first to download a bitcoin client. Before his death in 2014, however, Hal fini refuted the claim that he was Chinese Some people think that Nick Saab, a famous Cryptologist, may be Nakamoto. Before the launch of bitcoin, he designed the architecture of distributed digital currency, which he called bitcoin. Although the architecture has never been moved, it is similar to the design of bitcoin. This led to widespread speculation. But he repeatedly denied italthough the real identity of Nakamoto may never be disclosed, it is important that the operation of the technology will not be affected
behind the myth of ICO's sudden wealth: the financing game of licking blood with a knife edge
unless the Internet is cut off, the booming ICO cannot be isolated. The first batch of "water testers" have already made a lot of money, while the successors are just like passing the river
"a young man selling mobile phones in Shanghai invested in a blockchain ICO project with 200000 yuan given by his parents two years ago. In the first half of this year, he found that the account assets had soared to 6 million yuan; There is also a small private equity partner who has invested 30 million or 40 million yuan in several ICO projects in the past two years, and now the assets have reached 3 billion yuan. " On August 29, Sun Jie, a senior ICO player in Shanghai, revealed that a similar legend of sudden wealth is on the market every day
the reporter learned that when the hot degree of ICO has far exceeded the market imagination and caused the close attention of the regulatory authorities, the debate on the crime and punishment of ICO is also rampant. However, investors in the market turn a deaf ear to these voices, because in their view, if they don't really participate, they can't realize the stimulation and risk of ICO
what is the probability of ICO's sudden wealth? Take a look at the small ant coin ICO completed by Shanghai small ant technology
according to the search, as of August 25, Neo (prototermite stock) has increased as much as 282 times since the completion of ICO and online trading in September last year, and this rate of return far lags behind the success rate of IPO; The second ranked Shanghai quantum chain (qtum) launched its ICO on cloud coin in March this year. The issue price was 2 yuan. On the day of issue, the opening price was 66.66 yuan, up 33 times a day. After that, the price dropped all the way to more than 20 yuan, and then soared to about 57 yuan
the sharp rise and fall of ICO makes countless investors become excited and rush in regardless of everything. According to the report on the development of domestic ICO in the first half of 2017 recently released by the national Internet financial risk analysis technology platform, in the first half of this year, 65 domestic ICO projects have been completed, with a total financing scale of 2.616 billion yuan and 105000 participants. According to the analysis of instry insiders, the number of people participating in ICO is definitely more than 105000, conservatively estimated to be more than one million
