All virtual currencies in China stop trading
Prior to that, the regulatory authorities decided to close the exchanges of virtual currency in China. On September 14, regulatory rumors finally came to the ground. Just now, bitcoin China, one of China's three major virtual currency trading platforms, announced that bitcoin China would stop all trading business on September 30
according to public information, bitcoin China is the longest operating bitcoin trading platform in China, which was established on June 9, 2011. Affected by the news, bitcoin, lightcoin and Ethereum all fell sharply
This situation must be timely feedback to customer service, to retrieve
if bitcoin is stored in the account of the exchange, all the coins are in the big account of the exchange. If the exchange stops trading or goes bankrupt, all the coins belong to the actual controller of the exchange (the person who has the key of the big account)
therefore, if there are official problems in the exchange, we must contact the official customer service in time to retrieve them. In addition, digital assets, blockchain and other technologies will have unpredictable effects, and problems in the development process need to be standardized
extended information:
people who really own bitcoin do not store them on the Internet, but store them on the hard disk. Bitcoin's code is open source, which means that technicians can modify the code to proce a continuous stream of virtual currency
which breaks through the "limited amount" attribute of bitcoin. These virtual currencies can be exchanged with fiat currencies. For example, bitcoin can be exchanged into yen, and yen can be exchanged with almost all fiat currencies in the world
in this case, if the number of virtual currencies increases arbitrarily, there will be problems in the whole international monetary system. Therefore, on September 4, 2017, the central bank stopped the exchange function of the token trading platform, especially the exchange function with legal tender
There are two reasons for the prohibition of virtual currency trading by the state:
1. The price fluctuates violently and the consumer protection is lacking:
virtual currency is the proct of network, and the digital information flowing in the network is beyond everyone's control. The code of cyberspace is the basis of the operation of virtual currency, investors can only operate through the front-end interface, seemingly "control" the virtual currency. The operator of the virtual currency service organization may become the actual controller of the virtual currency through the control code
bitcoin and other so-called "virtual currencies" lack a clear value basis, the market is full of speculative atmosphere, the price fluctuates violently, and investors blindly follow suit, which is easy to cause capital losses
2. Evade supervision and become the "accomplice" of criminal activities:
bitcoin is popular as a payment tool in the so-called "dark web" world“ The "dark net" is full of all kinds of serious criminal activities. One of the original intentions of the invention of bitcoin is to evade regulation. It has the characteristics of anonymity and convenient cross-border flow, and has become the preferred tool of "underground economy"
the existence of bitcoin and exchanges and other instrial chains has constructed a illegal financial market for asset transfer and financing in addition to legal currency, increased the difficulty of regulatory authorities in managing financial security and stability, and promoted regulatory arbitrage and financial crimes. The risks and social security risks it brings to the financial market are far higher than its innovative value

virtual currency transactions are not protected by law:
according to the notice on preventing bitcoin risks issued by the people's Bank of China and other departments on December 3, 2013 and the announcement on preventing financing risks of token issuance issued by seven ministries and commissions including the people's Bank of China on September 4, 2017, virtual currency is not issued by monetary authorities, It is not a real currency because it does not have the monetary attributes of legal compensation and compulsion
in terms of nature, virtual currency should be a specific virtual commodity, which does not have the same legal status as currency, and can not and should not be used as currency in the market. Although citizens' investment and trading in other virtual currencies are personal freedom, they can not be protected by law
as the third largest bitcoin trading platform in the world in terms of trading volume, bitcoin China is the first of the three major bitcoin trading platforms in China to announce the cessation of trading business on the evening of September 13, China Internet Finance Association issued a risk warning, pointing out that bitcoin and other so-called "virtual currencies" lack a clear value basis, there is a strong speculative atmosphere in the market, the price fluctuates violently, investors blindly follow the trend of speculation, which is easy to cause capital losses, and investors need to strengthen their risk prevention awareness as soon as the ban came out, all localities responded. The Beijing rectification office under the Beijing Municipal Bureau of financial affairs immediately issued a document to coordinate with the clean-up and rectification of the ICO platform and immediately stop all kinds of ICO token issuance and promotion activities
on September 14, bitcoin China, a large domestic bitcoin trading platform, announced that it would stop all trading businesses of the digital asset trading platform, but it would not affect customers' withdrawal of bitcoin
bitcoin China is the first and largest bitcoin trading platform in China. It is operated by Shanghai satuxi Network Co., Ltd. and was established on June 9, 2011. The team members are mainly from China, Silicon Valley and Europe. On March 12, 2014, bitcoin China officially launched the lightcoin transaction, and the cumulative transaction volume of lightcoin exceeded 30 million yuan
