The harm of speculation in virtual currency

As a proct of e-commerce, virtual currency is playing a more and more important role, and it is more and more connected with the real world. However, with the growth of virtual currency, the relevant laws and regulations are lagging behind, which has laid many hidden dangers. Since 2004, the discussion on whether virtual currency represented by Q currency will impact RMB has been concerned by all parties. But officials have not been clear about this. The trading mode of virtual currency also expanded rapidly. A series of events triggered the attention of the community to the virtual currency. People have expressed their views on it. Some people think that virtual currency will have an impact on RMB, so we should take compulsory measures to prohibit the issuance of virtual currency; Some people hold a reserved attitude that virtual currency will not have an impact on RMB and should not stifle the development vitality of commercial organizations too early. Zhang Jie of Huawei group thinks so
with the continuous progress of technology, electronic payment (including electronic money) not only changes people's payment habits, but also imperceptibly changes people's consumption habits and promotes the expansion of consumer credit. It is necessary to pay close attention to the innovation of the form, the evolution of the nature, the difference of the operation mode and the possible impact on the credit risk and moral hazard of this new thing, and properly supervise it. But the more important thing is to give the market main body corresponding development space, avoid strangling the development vitality of the corresponding business organization in the early stage of market development. Therefore, the best way to treat e-money is to observe its changes and strengthen research. In the face of such remarks as "q-coin impacts the RMB financial market", we need to discuss them in the context of scientific and technological progress. The key to understand the problem is how to design relevant policies and encourage the development of electronic payment instruments such as electronic money, rather than the harm of speculative virtual money and electronic money. We call for strengthening supervision

On September 4, the people's Bank of China and other seven ministries and commissions jointly issued the announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, which clearly regulated the relevant behaviors

after the regulatory authorities made clear their attitude, although bitcoin China, huocoin.com and other "virtual currency" operators have successively taken restrictive measures on the trading platform, the risk of "virtual currency" speculation is still worthy of high vigilance

compared with the traditional financial procts and activities, "virtual currency" does not have an objective value reference at present, and the financial activities based on "virtual currency" are far away from the regulatory system for a long time, so the related financial activities are easy to fall into the problems of "expected pricing" and "emotional pricing". In this context, the "virtual currency" may not only hide the grey transaction or even the black transaction, but also cause all kinds of risks, "crowd out" the real financial innovation, which is not concive to the sustainable and healthy development of Internet finance
