Books on digital currency regulation
China does not issue digital currency, and all the existing digital currencies are illegal
the central bank pointed out that no legal digital currency has been issued, and no institutions and enterprises have been authorized to issue legal digital currency. At present, the so-called "digital currency" in the market is not legal digital currency
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
"the legal currency of our country is RMB." In the risk warning, the monetary Bureau of the people's Bank of China once again stressed that RMB is uniformly printed and issued by the people's Bank of China
extended information:
with the soaring price of virtual currency represented by bitcoin, digital currency and the blockchain technology behind it have attracted great attention of the global financial community. In fact, legal digital currency has not yet been issued in China. Recently, the official website of the monetary Bureau of the people's Bank of China (PBOC) released the risk warning on issuing or promoting digital currency in the name of the people's Bank of China
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
At the same time, digital money is different from electronic payment. In the actual use experience, digital money and electronic payment may feel similar, but they are still quite different in essence. Before digital currency, the financial instry has been highly informationized P>such as Internet banking, WeChat, Alipay and other payment electronic popularization graally, physical cash accounts for only a very small part of all circulating currencies. In spite of this, because the money used in the transaction comes from the bank account, it actually corresponds to the banknotes
currently, digital currency in the market involves multi-level marketing
digital currency is a new technology that can improve the efficiency of transaction, but it is targeted by lawless elements to carry out pyramid selling and fraud in its name
the official website of the monetary Bureau of the people's Bank of China issued the risk warning on issuing or promoting digital currency in the name of the people's Bank of China. The central bank pointed out that recently, indivial enterprises falsely used the name of our bank to label relevant digital procts as "authorized issuance by the people's Bank of China", or falsely claimed that the digital currency promotion team of the central bank issued, in an attempt to deceive the public and take the opportunity to make huge profits
in the risk warning, the central bank stressed that the bank 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
at the same time, 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. The general public should raise their risk awareness, invest rationally and prudently, and prevent the interests from being damaged
If you know a little bit about technology, you can see "master bitcoin" by Andreas M. antonopoulos, a well-known classic. The author is a famous bitcoin bull, active in overseas social platforms. Other books can selectively read blockchain revolution and so on, but these books seem to have no real feeling, so it's better to start and experience them. We can not rigidly divide the regular software of the currency circle into the following categories:
-
digital currency exchange. Don't resist direct contact with exchanges. Digital currencies basically support minimal segmentation. That is to say, you can hold bitcoin for 10 yuan or 100 yuan. The general functions of the exchange include currency trading (digital currency trading, digital currency, usually "stable currency" as intermediate currency), and French currency transactions (buying or selling digital currency directly in French currency), usually in the same sense with OTC or "OTC" in the country, supporting Alipay. Wechat payment, bank card payment and other payment methods) and some high-risk derivatives transactions, including contract transaction and leverage transaction, are not recommended by novices. The operation process is also very simple. Register an exchange account, buy stable currency or other digital currency with RMB, and then trade currency. You can get the price difference by buying low and selling high, which is the basic operation of playing spot. The exchange's choice is nothing more than coin an, fire coin, coin easy, okex and bitfinex
-
digital currency wallet. At present, there are a lot of funds calling themselves digital currency wallets in the market, so the risk is very high. So it's better to pay attention to the top wallets with international reputation, and the risk of others stepping on thunder is very high. The purpose of the wallet is very simple, that is to store your digital currency. Because digital currency can only exist in the address of digital currency network, if you don't need to trade digital currency, you can use your wallet to "hoard currency", and then transfer to the exchange account for real-time trading when the currency price rises in the future. Why not store digital currency directly in the exchange? This is because most exchanges adopt centralized management, and your assets will gather in a few wallets of the exchange to meet the demand of capital flow. This kind of wallet with a huge stock has a high risk of being targeted by hackers, so hoarding party will generally choose a personal wallet with a high safety factor to improve the security of their assets
however, it is possible to regulate the use of bitcoin in a similar way to any other currency. Like the US dollar, bitcoin can be used for a variety of purposes, some of which can be considered legal or not in accordance with the laws of each jurisdiction. At this point, bitcoin, like any other tool or resource, will be subject to different regulations of each country. Under restrictive regulations, the use of bitcoin will also become very difficult. In this case, it is difficult to determine what proportion of users will continue to use the technology. Governments that choose to ban bitcoin will hinder the development of domestic enterprises and markets and transfer innovation to other countries. As always, the challenge for regulators is to develop effective solutions without compromising the development of emerging markets and companies
on December 5, 2013, the Central Bank of China and other five ministries and commissions issued the bitcoin risk notice, which clearly defined bitcoin as an Internet commodity.
