Is digital currency Leo a fraud

1.

Basic routine: the "trading market" of MLM digital currency is basically controlled by specific institutions. In order to attract investors' investment in the early stage, the currency price may be very high. Once the time is ripe, it will be sold intensively, and the price will plummet, and the investors will lose all their money

There are three characteristics of digital money MLM:

1. Digital money is a real proct, and it is highly packaged

2. The participants can get a head pulling reward, and the prize is the digital currency itself

3. Digital currency will appreciate with the increase of participants in the scam. In the cycle of digital currency appreciation, the number of participants who can obtain digital currency will also increase, and the participants, including the lowest level participants, will also gain, but in the cycle of devaluation, the bottom level participants often lose a lot

in 2017, the Internet Finance Association of Jiangsu Province issued the "internet pyramid selling identification guide", which named 26 so-called digital currencies as illegal pyramid selling projects covered or suspected to be covered with digital currency. They are: treasure money, Baichuan money, SMI, MBI, mark money, Diablo money, mmm, Fuda compound wealth management, carat money, V treasure, Vicat money, petroleum money, Huaqiang money, CB aiib Hong Kong Group, Yuansheng, Morgan money, beta money, WorldCom, u money, Jubao, 21st century fox, Wanxi wealth management, Wanfu money, Wuxing money, Yi money, Zhonghua money, etc

five ways to distinguish whether digital currency is pyramid selling currency:

1. Issuance mode

virtual currency does not rely on specific monetary institutions. It is proced by a large number of calculations according to specific algorithms, and is a decentralized issuance mode. Each different terminal node is responsible for maintaining the same account book, and the maintenance process is mainly to package and encrypt the transaction information by the algorithm, while the MLM currency is mainly issued by a certain organization, and the profit is made by pulling the head

2. Transaction mode

virtual currency is a kind of sporadic transaction spontaneously formed in the market, which is graally completed by a third party establishing an exchange after the scale is formed. The MLM currency is issued by an institution and traded on its own platform

3. Implementation method

virtual currency itself is an open source program, which is maintained in GitHub community. The parameters and methods of the total amount limit are shown in the open source code. The open source of MLM currency is completely ing other people's open source code, and there is no use of open source code to build programs, so its essence is controlled by the website like Q currency

4, whether to give the source code link

General decentralized digital currency will give the source code link in the prominent position of the official website, so as to show the operation mechanism of the monetary system openly and transparently. The MLM currency focuses on the transaction process of recharge purchase, but does not mention its operation mechanism. Even the website does not have the link address of the source code

5, whether the official website starts with HTTPS

generally, the addresses of the official website and trading website of decentralized digital currency start with HTTPS, and the purpose is that this kind of website can well protect the user's data from illegal theft. But the official website of MLM currency, trading website and other related websites do not start with HTTPS

2. 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". Digital currency can not be said to be a fraud, but has 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.

3. It's not necessary to say that this thing is deceitful. If it is issued by the state, there must be government and full-time personnel with certificates.

4. Do you think digital currency is MLM? In fact, we need to make a concrete analysis of this issue. At present, China has not issued legal digital currency, let alone promotion team. The basic routine of this kind of MLM is that in order to attract investors' investment in the early stage, the money price will be very high, and then the money will be sold intensively, the price will drop sharply, and the investors will lose all their money. What's more, when the money is returned, the platform is closed directly and the organizers lose contact. Then they go to other places to pack new concepts and continue to cheat according to similar deception methods. Compared with other pyramid schemes, digital money pyramid schemes generally have the following characteristics: first, there are real procts - digital money, and they are highly packaged; The second is that participants can get a head pulling reward, and the prize is the digital currency itself; Third, the digital currency will appreciate with the increase of the number of participants in the scam, and the number of participants who can obtain digital currency will also increase, including the lowest level participants will also make profits, but once entering the depreciation period, the bottom level participants will lose all their money. In fact, digital currency and MLM are different concepts and cannot be equated. Whether digital currency is pyramid scheme depends on whether it meets the conditions. Strictly speaking, not all digital currencies are pyramid schemes. Bitcoin, for example, is a digital currency, but not a pyramid scheme. Therefore, we must treat problems differently.

5. It is wrong to say that China's digital currency comes from the people, because it comes from the present. Science.

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 />
