Is it true that the country pushes digital currency

1. China's law on the supervision of digital currency is still a blank. Digital currency is in a gray area in China. If it is not prohibited by law, it can be used. However, there are still some normative provisions on digital currency in China
at the end of 2013, the central bank and other five ministries and commissions jointly issued the bitcoin risk notice, which clearly defined bitcoin as a special Internet commodity, and people can buy and sell it freely at their own risk. But it denies its monetary attribute. At this stage, bitcoin cannot and should not be used as currency
Ruitai, Qianjin card, Laite and other digital currencies are all applicable to the definition of bitcoin. Digital currency can exist as a commodity.

2. ​ In recent years, the speculation related to virtual currency (such as ICO, IFO, IEO, IMO and STO) has been in vogue. The price has gone up and down, and the risk has gathered rapidly. Relevant financing entities raise funds from investors or virtual currencies such as bitcoin and Ethereum through illegal sale and circulation of tokens. In essence, they are illegal public financing without approval. They are suspected of illegal sale of token bills, illegal issuance of securities, illegal fund-raising, financial fraud, pyramid schemes and other illegal crimes, which seriously disrupt the economic and financial order

on September 4, 2017, the people's Bank of China and other seven ministries and commissions issued the "notice on preventing the financing risk of token issuance", which cleaned up the ICO and virtual currency trading venues. The scale of domestic virtual currency transactions decreased significantly, effectively avoiding the impact of virtual currency prices on China's financial market.

3. It is an inevitable trend for the central bank to prepare to issue digital currency. Bitcoin, as the representative of digital currency, is in the forefront of the exploration of currency form. Most countries in the world love and hate bitcoin, especially China's bitcoin launched a series of attacks, but bitcoin is still standing, showing strong vitality
however, the digital currency that the central bank plans to issue has the monetary attribute and has the credit endorsement of the central bank. The central bank's version of digital money will first be applied to the bill market. It is still difficult for the central bank to popularize the digital currency in China, because the degree of economic development is different across the country
at the same time, there are some applied digital currencies in China. For example, the Puyin digital currency launched by Puyin group is a standard digital currency with credit endorsement of related tea assets.

4.

It can not be said to be a fraud, but there are certain risks, because digital gold currency is a form of physical currency, and its deposits are measured in gold rather than legal currency. Therefore, the purchasing power fluctuation of digital gold currency is related to the gold price. If the price of gold goes up, it becomes more valuable. If the price of gold goes down, it loses value

since there is no specific financial regulation to regulate digital gold money suppliers, they operate in a self-regulation way. Digital gold money suppliers are not banks, so banking regulations are not applicable

extended data

to explore the connotation of digital currency, we must clarify some concepts of model lake. For example, is it legal digital currency dominated by the central bank or illegal private fixed digital currency; Encryption of digital currency or electronic currency; Is it "selling dog meat with sheep's head"; "Bad money"

new technology does make the conceptual boundary of money more blurred. Theoretically speaking, the new monetary economics points out the possibility of the disappearance of money, that is, legal paper money is no longer the only medium of transaction, and is eventually replaced by financial assets issued by the private sector that generate monetary income

in reality, although the status of fiat money is still unshakable, there have been various local scenes of private money in history, such as the universal warra system in Germany in the 1920s. Now the digital currency with the characteristics of decentralization makes the challenge of private currency increasingly prominent< br />

5.

It's illegal

the central bank indicated that it has not issued legal digital currency, nor authorized any institutions and enterprises to issue legal digital currency, and there is no promotion team. At present, the so-called "digital currency" in the market is not legal digital currency

In addition, the so-called "digital currency" launched by some institutions and enterprises and the so-called promotion of the central bank's issuance of digital currency may involve pyramid selling and fraud

extended information:

virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency, and its original issuer is not the central bank. This kind of virtual currency is mainly limited to circulation in a specific virtual environment. Digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency

in 2013, the central bank, together with five ministries and commissions, issued the notice on prevention of bitcoin risks, which clearly defined non legal digital currencies such as bitcoin as virtual commodities, which do not exist in the form of currency and legal currency
