Is American virtual currency legal

1. bitcoin has been regulated by the US government in the United States. The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) recently released a document saying that bitcoin and other virtual currencies are reasonably defined as commodities, just like crude oil or wheat. This means that bitcoin futures and options are subject to CFTC regulations and regulation. It is necessary to apply for a license to carry out bitcoin related business in New York State, otherwise it will be considered illegal. In California, the attitude of bitcoin and other virtual currencies is relatively friendly, but they need to be registered

in the United States, it is legal as long as we do not use virtual currency to carry out illegal activities. Fuyuan coin is registered in the United States, and treasure coin is also registered in the United States. However, according to relevant media reports, the Chinese Americans represented by Liu Longzhu are targeting an enterprise called Regal group. On September 29, the Chinese company in Los Angeles was seized. The company was accused of using a virtual currency called "treasure coin" to cheat investors by pyramid selling, and Jiang Kun's photo became their propaganda material. In mainland China, there are still people peddling "precious coins", but the peddler did not mention Jiang Kun to mainland buyers.

2. Why should the United States recognize bitcoin as a legal financial instrument? Its purpose is to bring bitcoin into the financial regulatory system to protect the interests of ordinary investors. This is the same starting point as our central bank's announcement to ban bitcoin. A typical representative case is a case called Trenton? In 2011-2012, he amassed 700000 bitcoins with a total value of more than US $4.5 million, but he suddenly closed the trust in August 2012, and then claimed that bitcoin was not money and was not regulated by the US government. In order to protect the interests of investors, in August 2013, the court ruled that bitcoin as a financial instrument should be regulated by the US government. This is interpreted as "the United States recognized bitcoin"

3. Economy refers to the sum of social relations of proction. It refers to the sum of proction relations or social economic system formed by people in the process of material proction and adapted to certain social proctive forces. It is the foundation of superstructure such as politics, law, philosophy, religion, literature and art< Economy refers to the process of proction and reproction of social material materials. It includes the direct proction process of material materials and the exchange, distribution and consumption process determined by it. Its content includes proctivity and proction relations, but mainly refers to proctivity
3. Economy refers to the general term of a country's national economy. It includes all the material proction departments and their activities in a country, and part of the non-material proction departments and their activities. We usually talk about the economic situation of different countries from the perspective of national economy (this definition makes a logical mistake, that is, the definition of cycle).

[characteristics of bitcoin]

the reason why bitcoin is anonymous is that they are built on a decentralized system. Bitcoin is completely independent, and the outside world cannot shut it down through some kind of core infrastructure

"anonymity" is very useful for those who don't want to associate their name with the goods or services they purchase. What outsiders see is nothing more than the address of your bitcoin wallet and a string of random words and numbers. Besides, there is no information that can identify themselves. For relatively paranoid users, they can also create many new wallets for free.

bitcoin is designed to allow anonymous ownership and use rights. Bitcoin can be stored in personal computers in the form of computer files (wallets) or in third-party hosting services. No matter how it is saved, bitcoin can be sent to anyone on the Internet through its address. The distributed characteristics of P2P and the design of no central management mechanism ensure that no organization can manipulate the value of bitcoin or create inflation. Its main features are as follows:

decentralization

< / UL >

bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without a central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of the security and freedom of bitcoin

< UL >

circulation around the world

< / UL >

bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin

< UL >

exclusive ownership

< / UL >

the private key is required to manipulate bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself

< UL >

low transaction cost

< / UL >

bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but in the end, a transaction fee of about 1 bit will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster execution of the transaction

< UL >

no hidden cost

< / UL >

as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay

< UL >

cross platform mining

< / UL >

users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms

[bitcoin acquisition method]

first of all, your computer should be installed with the latest version of bitcoin client. After opening the client, all the transaction information data on the network will be automatically downloaded to the local. Depending on the network speed, this process may take several hours. At this time, the account balance is 0. Users can ask friends to send some coins, but a more feasible way is to do mining or merchant acquisition[ 6]

mining as a miner

< / UL >

to be a miner is to proce bitcoin with one's own computer. In the early client, there was the option of mining, but it has been cancelled. The reason is very simple. With more and more people participating in mining, it may take several years for one to dig 50 coins, So miners generally organize into miners' guild, and they dig together. Specific mining methods, you can go online search. This method is already very unrealistic

< UL >

as a businessman, you can buy coins g by miners with money, open an online shop to sell things and collect bitcoin, and even go to the exchange to speculate in coins. There are many websites providing bitcoin exchange services, which can be converted into almost any kind of currency. If you really don't know how to exchange, you can also come to laoan for help

the difficulty of bitcoin mining is directly proportional to the amount of money that has been mined. The more difficult it is to mine, the more difficult it will be. After 20 million bitcoins are mined out in 2030, the remaining 1 million bitcoins will probably take decades to be mined out. And bitcoin has no central issuing authority, which is generated by network nodes through complex calculations. Anyone can run bitcoin software on a computer to make it. During circulation, enter the quantity 1 on the client software, then come to the other party's bitcoin address and sign with the payer's password. After that, the bitcoin is the other party's
