the central bank said that the so-called "digital currency" in the market is not legal digital currency:
the central bank's monetary Bureau issued a "risk warning on issuing or promoting digital currency in the name of the people's Bank of China" on its official website, saying that recently, indivial enterprises falsely use the name of the central bank, The relevant digital procts are labeled as "authorized issuance by the people's Bank of China", or the central bank's digital currency promotion team is falsely claimed, in an attempt to deceive the public and take the opportunity to make huge profits

China does not recognize digital currency, and all transactions related to digital currency are not legal. But it does not mean that investment is illegal. The concept of "not legal" here means that your transaction is not protected by law. Once the platform roll money away, then the loss is not protected by law
if digital currency is widely accepted and can play the role of currency, it will weaken the effectiveness of monetary policy and bring difficulties to policy-making. Because digital currency issuers are usually unregulated third parties, money is created outside the banking system, and the amount of circulation depends entirely on the wishes of the issuers
as a result, the money supply is unstable, and the authorities are unable to monitor the issuance and circulation of digital currency, resulting in the inability to accurately judge the economic operation, which will bring trouble to policy-making, and weaken the effectiveness of policy transmission and implementation

money, as a measure of transaction value, does not necessarily have value in itself, it can only be used as an intermediate unit of measurement. It's just like China has only RMB as legal tender, that is to say, government guarantee has value. For example, in those war-torn areas, ten jin currency may not buy an egg, which is the reason
back to digital currency, digital currency, until now, no country has recognized it as the currency in circulation of its own country. It seems that last year or the year before last, our country also banned some. In this case, digital currency can only be sold at a price higher than your purchase price, so that you can make money. But digital currency itself does not have any value. Unlike stocks, it is your ownership of listed companies. So if you can't find someone to buy digital currency, it's worthless
the Ponzi scheme in history, the Dutch tulip, when it was the most expensive, a tulip was worth buying a house. When no one bought it, all the tulips rotted. In addition, they couldn't get a potato. Therefore, Buffett said that digital money is a bubble, which is a hoax.
in addition, there is a saying in the stock market that when all the ladies in the vegetable market begin to discuss the stock market, it is the time when the stock market reaches its peak. In my opinion, this also applies to digital currency. When many people are discussing how to make money and how to make a lot of money, the risk has accumulated to a great extent. Most of the time, when the stock begins to fall, many people are still in the previous inertial thinking, thinking that it will rebound soon, and then it will get lower and lower, and they are more reluctant to sell it. This is why many people hold a high position on it
I'm not sure if it's the highest point of digital currency, but I think that digital currency, which can be issued by anyone, has no value as currency circulation and can only be sold to others. I think it's a fraud.
