Why don't countries crack down on digital currency
of course, virtual currencies are not all pyramid schemes, such as bitcoin, lightcoin, decent and so on.
Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency
reasons for blocking:
1. Vulnerability of trading platform. The bitcoin network is robust, but the bitcoin trading platform is fragile. Trading platform is usually a website, which will be attacked by hackers or shut down by competent authorities
The transaction confirmation time is long. When bitcoin wallet is first installed, it will consume a lot of time to download historical transaction data blocks. While bitcoin transaction, in order to confirm the accuracy of data, it will take some time to interact with P2P network, and the transaction will be completed only after the whole network is confirmed The price fluctuates greatly. Due to the intervention of a large number of speculators, the price of bitcoin for cash fluctuates like a roller coaster. Making bitcoin more suitable for speculation rather than anonymous trading4. The public did not understand the principle, and the traditional financial practitioners resisted. Active netizens understand the principle of P2P network and know that bitcoin has no legal person to manipulate and control. But the public doesn't understand, and many people can't even tell the difference between bitcoin and q-coin“ "No issuer" is the advantage of bitcoin, but in the view of traditional financial practitioners, "no issuer" currency is worthless
extended materials:
the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's idea, the open source software was designed and released, and the P2P network on it was constructed. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
unlike most currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses the distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses the design of cryptography to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation
the decentralized feature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially control the value of bitcoin by mass manufacturing. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner
This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to 21 millionbitcoin can be cashed and converted into the currency of most countries. Users can use bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats and equipment in online games. As long as someone accepts it, they can also use bitcoin to buy real-life items
on February 26, 2014, Joe Manchin, a Democratic senator from West Virginia, issued an open letter to a number of regulatory authorities of the US federal government, hoping that the relevant authorities would pay attention to the status quo of bitcoin's encouraging illegal activities and disrupting the financial order, and demanded that actions be taken as soon as possible to completely ban the electronic currency
from 12:00 noon on January 24, 2017, China's three major bitcoin platforms officially began to collect transaction fees
digital currency is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. At present, no central bank of any government has indicated that it will issue digital currency, and digital currency does not have to have a benchmark currency and a central bank. It is different from the virtual currency in the virtual world, because it can be used for real goods and services transactions, not limited to online games. The early digital currency (digital gold currency) is a form of electronic currency named after the weight of gold. Today's digital currency, such as bitcoin, lightcoin and ppcoin, is an electronic currency created, issued and circulated by check sum cryptography. It is characterized by the use of P2P peer-to-peer network technology to issue, manage and circulate currency. In theory, it avoids bureaucratic examination and approval, so that everyone has the right to issue currency.
specifically, why can we use the Internet
the announcement of the central bank and other seven ministries and commissions on preventing the financing risk of token issuance is very clear
As long as the influence of bitcoin scam is not particularly bad, the government generally adopts the policy that the people do not sue, the officials do not blame, and turn a blind eye to it. Because even if the government enters, it is difficult to find the culprit. The information of some operation teams is not public, and it is difficult to find it on the Internet. Some of them are still abroad, so it is difficult to solve the case. Some of the culprits turn around and become victims. There are also those who participated in the bitcoin pyramid scheme. A large number of victims are also the biggest accomplices< br />
the core advantage of blockchain technology is decentralization, which can realize point-to-point transaction, coordination and cooperation based on decentralized credit in a distributed system without mutual trust by means of data encryption, time stamp, distributed consensus and economic incentive, so as to solve the high cost and low cost of centralized institutions Low efficiency and data storage insecurity provide solutions
the application fields of blockchain include digital currency, token, finance, anti-counterfeiting traceability, privacy protection, supply chain, entertainment, etc. with the popularity of blockchain and bitcoin, many related top domain names have been registered, which has a great impact on the domain name instry.
Recently, the price of global crypto digital currency is quite unstable. Bitcoin has fallen below US $7000 from its peak of US $20000 at the end of last year, and soared by more than 11% in one day. There are huge fluctuations in the market, and there are many differences in the attitudes of countries towards digital currency. Some announced that they would issue the world's first sovereign legal digital currency, showing a "strong support" attitude, and more countries carefully observed and focused on research and guidance
the existing monetary and financial system is not a natural evolution, but an inevitable result of legal restrictions or government regulation. Although cryptocurrency has many defects, it is also a valuable experiment, especially in the exploration of super sovereign currency. Different from precious metal currency and credit currency, they are oriented to the exploration of "transaction benchmark consensus" in the data age. Of course, if it is affected by too much price fluctuation, speculation, deflation restrictions, etc., and the payment function of crypto digital currency can not be truly implemented, it can only be further and further away from the "currency experiment", or become a special basic "digital asset", or a flash in the pan in the long history
still want to cancel virtual currency< br />
