China's governance of virtual currency

3. In the notice on preventing bitcoin risk issued by the central bank and other five ministries and commissions at the end of 2013, bitcoin is clearly defined as a special Internet commodity, and people can buy and sell freely at their own risk, denying its monetary attribute. All financial institutions are not allowed to provide bitcoin related services. Bitcoin related websites must be put on record and require users to carry out real name authentication. Zhou Xiaochuan, central bank governor, said in an interview that bitcoin is a tradable asset like a stamp

in a word, virtual currency represented by bitcoin is legal in China, but the government takes a cold attitude towards virtual currency, which is neither positive nor negative. Most of the major countries in the world also adopt a cold attitude towards virtual currency

since 2015, the popular virtual currencies are bitcoin, Laite coin, Fuyuan coin, doggy coin, reborn coin and so on.

4. At the Boao Forum for Asia held in April this year, Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the central bank, said that since digital currency is not the currency initiated and approved by the central bank, it is impossible to ban it. Digital currency belongs to digital assets, which can be freely traded between indivials. Therefore, digital currency is not MLM, not capital disk, but a kind of financial investment

5. In China, no company that issues virtual currency has been granted policy permission. China has a laissez faire attitude towards virtual currency. The following is China's position on virtual currency:

Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the central bank, said at last year's Boao Forum that bitcoin, like stamps collected by stamp collectors, has collection value, and people regard it as an asset to trade rather than a payment currency, so there is no question of banning it for the central bank. This is also the only time central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan has made a statement on the currency

in the bitcoin risk notice issued by the central bank and other five ministries and commissions at the end of 2013, bitcoin was clearly defined as a special Internet commodity, which people can buy and sell freely under the premise of free but risk, denying its monetary attribute. At this stage, all financial hooks are not allowed to provide bitcoin related services

since 2013, the popular virtual currencies are bitcoin, Fuyuan coin, Laite coin, doggy coin and so on.

On March 28, the central bank held a national teleconference on monetary gold and silver work in 2018. Fan Yifei, vice governor of the people's Bank of China, pointed out that we should further strengthen reform and innovation and solidly promote the research and development of digital currency of the people's Bank of China. We should strictly strengthen internal management and external supervision, attach great importance to and effectively strengthen the quality control of RMB, carry out large amount cash management, build a cash clearing enterprise supervision system in accordance with the law, carry out the rectification and clean-up of all kinds of virtual currencies, and strive to build a "five in one" anti-counterfeit currency working mechanism

from the perspective of global digital currency regulatory practice, China has adopted a more stringent regulatory approach, but it does not mean that China can stay out of the global financial innovation wave. In the future, China should actively participate in the global governance of digital currency and enhance its influence and voice in the development of digital currency and regulatory rules

7. At present, the work of currency, gold and silver is facing new challenges. The traditional business environment has undergone major changes. The development of digital economy, the diversification of payment means and the change of the public's habit of using banknotes have had a profound impact on the issuance and circulation of RMB. The public has also put forward new and higher requirements for the level of cash service. The monetary gold and silver work of the central bank needs to be continuously deepened in serving the real economy, effectively promoted in improving services for people's livelihood, and comprehensively strengthened in preventing and defusing risks.

8. First of all, we should understand what money is
money, in essence, is the contract of exchange right between owners. Different forms of money are unified in essence. In the past, e to people's unclear understanding of the nature of money, people mistakenly divided money into different categories from different angles, such as debt currency and non debt currency according to the commodity value of money, convertible currency and non convertible currency according to whether the exchange ratio of precious metals is agreed, etc
formally, according to the commodity value of money, it can be divided into physical money and formal money. Physical money itself is a special kind of goods, including the amount of value, such as sheep, precious metals, etc; The formal currency itself has no value, its value is contractual, only contractual value. The two forms are different, but they are unified in essence, that is, they are both agreed as the medium of exchange, and both have contractual value. The purchasing power of money depends on the contract value of money, but the purchasing power of physical money is also affected by its own commodity value. Generally, the commodity value of physical money is less than its contract value as money
in high school textbooks, the essence of money is interpreted as a general equivalent[ 3] This definition only starts from the function, in fact, it does not explain the essence of money, nor can it answer the inherent logical question, that is, why money can act as a general equivalent
for questions about the nature of monetary contract, please refer to monetary contract
secondly, virtual currency
refers to non real currency. Well known virtual currencies, such as online currency of Internet company, q-coin of Tencent company, q-point and voucher of Shanda company, micro currency launched by Sina (used for micro games, Sina reading, etc.), chivalrous Yuanbao (used for chivalrous road game), silver grain (used for bixue Qingtian game), and popular digital currencies in 2013 include bitcoin, Laite coin, infinite coin, quark coin, zeta coin, etc Barbecue coins, pennies (Internet), invisible gold bars, red coins, prime coins. At present, hundreds of digital currencies are issued all over the world. Popular in the circle & quot; The legend of "bitcoin, Wright silver, infinite copper, pennies aluminum"
according to the notice and announcement issued by the people's Bank of China and other departments, virtual currency is not issued by the monetary authority, does not have legal compensation and mandatory monetary attributes, is not a real currency, does not have the same legal status as currency, cannot and should not be used as currency in the market, and citizens' investment and transaction of virtual currency are not protected by law.

9. Because the State Administration of radio, film and television has sealed BT, many BT websites have been closed

and there will be no BT in the future

so all websites are in vain
