at present, digital currency is more like an investment proct, because it lacks a strong guarantee agency to maintain its price stability, and its role as a value measure has not yet appeared, so it can not be used as a means of payment. As an investment proct, digital currency cannot develop without trading platform, operating company and investment company
digital currency is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the blockchain technology it relies on has been decentralized and can be used in other fields except digital currency, which is one of the reasons why bitcoin is popular; On the other hand, if digital currency is widely used by the public as a kind of currency, it will have a huge impact on the effectiveness of monetary policy, financial infrastructure, financial market and financial stability
Yin Zhentao, deputy director of the law and Finance Research Office of the Financial Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that digital currency faces two risks. The first is the technical level. Digital currency relies on blockchain technology and a system, which will make it suffer from security impact, such as hacker attacks on computer systems. We have seen many practical problems in this process
Zhao Zhanzhan, a special researcher of intellectual property research center of China University of political science and law, believes that digital currency has anonymity, quickness and irrevocability. In addition, bitcoin and other digital currencies have high circulation in the world, so many criminals use digital currency as a new money laundering channel. Moreover, there are many different ways to realize money laundering through digital currency. Generally speaking, the probability of new money laundering being found and investigated is lower than before. Many countries have no effective means and technology to combat money laundering through digital currency. These factors lead to criminals prefer this way of money laundering
From 2015 to 2017, the price of bitcoin increased from more than $100 to $17000, a 100 fold increase. Today, the market value of various numerical currencies is more than 700 billion US dollars. The myth of their benefits is not nonsense
but there are many things behind the chaotic digital currency. You may ask why air currency can be listed on the stock exchange? It's very simple. The exchange also has to charge a part of the fee. Raise the price and then sell it to make money. So the question is, how to identify air currency
first of all, you need to look at the projects behind the digital currency and see what their team background is. Generally speaking, teams without experience in the instry tend to earn money, but how much experience do they have? It is better to be able to participate in the construction of Ethereum and bitstock communities. Such a team is often more reliable. This requires investors to have a certain screening ability to identify good or bad
secondly, there is no way to implement many projects. How can we identify them? In addition to the ability of the team, we also need to see the feasibility, which requires us to systematically learn the knowledge of bitcoin and blockchain. For example, Zhu Jiawei, the COO of fire coin network, learned the blockchain from 0 to 1, and clearly described the development process of bitcoin and blockchain in the form of audio and text. Besides, don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott's "blockchain revolution" are worthy of careful taste
moreover, the bubble of digital money is very large nowadays. In the bubble, it is not difficult to make money, but the key is not to be greedy. Long term holding is not good, but it can be operated in a short term. You can make money if you want. However, the key is that people are all profit-making and greed is their nature. Therefore, many people do not accept what they see. They originally made money, but later they lost everything. The gain is not worth the loss. Therefore, it is necessary to control greed
in September 2017, the central bank issued an announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, which formally determined that ICO is illegal financing without approval, and no organization or indivial is allowed to participate
later, on April 23, 2018, it was announced that the left and right digital currency ICO platforms had all withdrawn from the Chinese market, so the current ICO is illegal in China< Second, digital currency exchanges are prohibited in China.
after announcing that ICO is an illegal financing activity, the central bank also listed services such as trading, exchange, pricing and information intermediary for virtual currency as prohibited items, which means that digital currency exchanges are illegal in China
the trading platforms including bitcoin China, okcion, and fire coin all announced to stop the RMB recharge business in 2018, and closed the trading platforms one after another. As of April 2018, all digital currency exchanges have completely withdrawn from the Chinese market
Third, the central bank has not yet issued legal digital currency
so far, the central bank has not issued legal digital currency. If you are recommended to buy a digital currency "authorized or issued by the central bank", it must be a fraud platform
conclusion: there are no relevant laws and regulations for digital currency in China, but according to the documents issued by the central bank, the state is very cautious about digital currency, especially the digital currency issued by indivials.
digital currency is an unregulated and digital currency, which is usually issued and managed by developers and accepted and used by members of a specific virtual community. The European Banking authority defines virtual currency as a digital representation of value, which is not issued by the central bank or authorities, nor linked with legal currency. However, because it is accepted by the public, it can be used as a means of payment, or it can be transferred, stored or traded in electronic form

1. Impact on financial infrastructure
the decentralized mechanism of value exchange based on distributed ledger technology has changed the basic settings of gross and net settlement on which financial market infrastructure depends. The use of distributed ledgers also poses challenges to trading, clearing and settlement, as it promotes the disintermediation of traditional service providers in different markets and infrastructures. These changes may have potential impacts on market infrastructure other than retail payment systems, such as large payment systems, securities settlement systems or trading databases
If digital currency and distributed ledger based technology are widely used, it will bring challenges to the intermediary role of financial system participants, especially banks. As a financial intermediary, banks perform the ties of acting supervisors and supervise borrowers on behalf of depositors. Usually, banks also carry out liquidity and maturity conversion business to realize the financing from depositors to borrowers. If digital currency and distributed ledger are widely used, any subsequent disintermediation may have an impact on savings or credit evaluation mechanismsDigital money (electronic money or electronic currency) is a kind of money in digital form (different from paper money and coins). It shows properties similar to physical currency, but allows immediate transaction and boundaryless ownership transfer. Examples include virtual currency, cryptocurrency and currency issued by central bank and recorded in computer database (including digital base currency). Like traditional currencies, they may be used to buy physical goods and services, but they may also be restricted in some communities, such as online games
