Oppose the issue of digital currency
It is illegal to buy and sell digital currency in China

extended information:
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
the central bank said that the central 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. The central bank also suggested that 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
in fact, virtual currencies such as bitcoin and lightcoin are representatives of the so-called digital currency. The central bank said in 2016 that it was studying China's legal digital currency. Yao Qian, director of the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China, previously told the media that the prototype scheme for the central bank to issue legal digital currency has completed two rounds of revision, and is expected to be tested in relatively closed application scenarios such as the bill market in the future, but there is no clear timetable for its launch
although the issuing method of digital currency is still under study, paper currency has been regarded as "the currency of the previous generation" by some professionals, and it is the general trend to be replaced by new technologies and procts. He Maochun predicted that when the era of digital currency really comes, people will carry less and less cash, travel more and more safe, poverty alleviation more and more accurate, corruption more and more difficult to escape, and thieves more and more difficult to be
on the other hand, the application-oriented digital currency based on the token of coin profit China platform is also emerging.
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 />
