Reveal the secret of virtual money pyramid scheme

1. May involve illegal fund-raising and pyramid selling and other related criminal crimes
(1) at present, there is no regulation to regulate the trading platform, but the trading platform should also fulfill the audit obligation. For example, when online trading various network virtual currencies, it should audit whether the currency is a network virtual currency based on blockchain technology
(2) if the trading platform knows that the online trading currency is suspected of MLM, but in order to collect Commission, it also provides trading services for the currency and promotes its development, once the currency is identified as MLM, the trading platform may have to bear certain legal liabilities
(3) at the same time, a large number of customers' funds are stored in the accounts of virtual currency trading institutions. However, all online virtual currency trading institutions are not qualified to absorb public funds, which makes trading institutions face the potential risk of illegal fund-raising
the 2017 version of the guide to the identification of internet pyramid selling (hereinafter referred to as the guide) lists several differences between virtual currency and pyramid selling currency:
(1) from the perspective of issuing mode, virtual currency does not rely on specific monetary institutions, it is a decentralized issuing mode according to specific algorithms; The MLM currency is mainly issued by a certain institution, and the profit is made by pulling the head

After the scale is formed, the transaction is graally completed by a third party establishing an exchange, while MLM currency is issued by an institution and traded on its own platform
(3) from the perspective of implementation, virtual currency itself is an open source program, while 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, which is essentially controlled by the website as Q coin.

Virtual currency is not MLM

virtual currency refers to non real currency. Well known virtual currencies, such as online currency of Internet company, QQ currency of Tencent company, q-point, voucher of Shanda company, micro currency launched by Sina, chivalrous Yuanbao, silver pattern. Digital currencies include bitcoin, Wright coin, infinite coin, quark coin, zeta coin, barbecue coin, penny coin, invisible gold bar, red coin and prime currency. At present, hundreds of digital currencies are issued all over the world

network virtual currency can be roughly divided into

the first category is the familiar game currency. In the era of stand-alone games, the protagonist accumulates money by knocking down the enemy, entering the gambling house to win money, and using these to buy Herbs and equipment, but it can only be used in his own game console. At that time, there was no "market" between players. Since the establishment of Internet portal and community, the realization of game networking, virtual currency has a "financial market", players can trade game currency

the second type is the special currency issued by the portal website or instant messaging service provider, which is used to purchase the services in the website. The most widely used is Tencent's q-coin, which can be used to purchase membership, QQ show and other value-added services

the third kind of virtual currency on the Internet, such as bitcoin and Wright currency. Bitcoin is an electronic currency proced by open-source P2P software. Some people also translate bitcoin as "bitcoin", which is a kind of network virtual currency. It is mainly used for Internet financial investment, and can also be directly used in daily life as a new currency

3. Identifying whether virtual currency is a pyramid scheme is a bit of a bluff
the purpose of offline development and the t of high return is MLM
for MLM, you can refuse to join.

4. To judge whether it is MLM or not, we need to analyze the legal connotation of this behavior from a legal point of view. If the following conditions are met, it belongs to MLM< According to the "Regulations on the prohibition of pyramid selling":
Article 2, pyramid selling refers to that the organizer or operator's development personnel seek illegal benefits by calculating and paying remuneration to the developed personnel based on their number of directly or indirectly developed personnel or sales performance, or requiring the developed personnel to obtain the qualification of joining in the condition of paying a certain fee, Disturbing economic order and affecting social stability< Article 7 the following acts belong to pyramid selling:
(1) organizers or business operators, through development personnel, require other personnel developed by the developed personnel to join, and calculate and pay remuneration (including material rewards and other economic benefits, the same below) to the developed personnel based on the number of personnel developed directly or indirectly, so as to seek illegal benefits
(2) the organizer or business operator, through the developer, requires the developed person to pay fees or pay fees in disguised form by way of subscribing for commodities, so as to obtain the qualification of joining or developing other persons to join and seek illegal interests
(3) the organizer or business operator, through the development personnel, requests other personnel developed by the development personnel to join, forms the relationship between the upper and lower line, and calculates and pays the online remuneration based on the sales performance of the lower line, so as to seek illegal interests
in the regulations on the prohibition of pyramid schemes, the concept of hierarchical relationship is repeatedly mentioned. The hierarchical relationship formed by certain rules is only a phenomenon in many pyramid schemes. It must be related to the illegal possession of other people's property before it can be suspected of pyramid schemes.

6. They give you sweets first. When you taste the sweet beans, they believe it. Then they cheat you in step by step. Finally, you lose more money because of small losses. So don't believe in this kind of proct

7. The Ministry of public security is not fighting, but has been trying to fight. But China is so big that it's hard to ban pyramid selling at home. The four ministries and commissions of Huzhu finance have issued risk tips, but there are still a lot of people playing, resulting in heavy losses. Police around the country also reported that a number of digital money pyramid schemes have been destroyed
of course, virtual currencies are not all pyramid schemes, such as bitcoin, lightcoin, decent and so on.

8. Not necessarily. It depends on the big market
if it's game currency, the value is generally fixed, but now we often say virtual currency generally refers to digital cryptocurrency, such as bitcoin, Fuyuan coin, Laite coin, goubu, etc. Digital cryptocurrency is a kind of investment and financing proct with high yield and high risk in China. The price volatility of digital cryptocurrency is very large, which is not limited to the rise and fall of stocks. Some got rich overnight, while others went back to pre liberation overnight
if someone guarantees that you can get a high profit by purchasing a virtual currency, it is very likely that this virtual currency will be MLM currency. Therefore, the investment is risky and the purchase of currency should be cautious.

9. Before you answer this question, it depends on the population from which you know the "fact that you can make a steady profit in one or two years". If the person who is doing this tells you, you need to distinguish his true from false. Most of the reasons why he says this to you are to take you into the company. At least the people I met who made these things around me didn't make a steady profit and didn't make a loss. More importantly, they made a big loss and got a new name called "cyber refugee". Let's analyze the whole model of virtual currency. It's a pyramid model. A person brings in more people to earn money from the latecomers. In the early stage, he can get a return. Because there is no return, the people in the early stage will not be so willing to recruit the people in the later stage. When he develops to a certain scale, he can no longer put forward any money. Therefore, whether a platform or a currency can last for one or two years depends on whether the scale is large enough and whether there are enough latecomers. Otherwise, how can we afford to give back to the early entrants? So only platform operators can make a steady profit
