Virtual currency exchange renovation
Following bitcoin China's announcement of closing down, recently, trading platforms such as hotcoin.com also announced that they would stop trading in RMB at the end of the month. So far, the three major domestic virtual currency trading platforms have been suspended
investors should adhere to rational investment, not blindly follow the trend, nor take chances. There are risks in investment, especially in the face of a new model, we should be more cautious in investment, so as not to become the target of wealth plunder by criminals
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
extended information
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
With the popularity of bitcoin and other virtual currencies, the risk of fueling illegal economic activities is increasing. The reporter recently learned that the regulatory authorities will ban the domestic virtual currency trading platform
for ordinary consumers, investing in bitcoin is also risky. Many experts and regulators in China have repeatedly appealed that virtual currency trading platforms such as bitcoin are lack of supervision and have become tools for money laundering in illegal economic activities. At the same time, these trading platforms are vulnerable to manipulation by makers, resulting in huge price fluctuations and easy to make retail investors suffer losses. They have become channels for manipulation and ransacking of retail investors by makers and should be banned as soon as possible
"banning bitcoin trading platform is a channel for banning the massive exchange between bitcoin and legal tender, not bitcoin." A person close to the regulator said that the ban on activities related to bitcoin exchange does not affect the development of blockchain technology
the reporter learned from the China Internet Finance Association that the reminder on preventing the risks of bitcoin and other so-called "virtual currencies" released on September 13 said that in recent years, bitcoin and other so-called "virtual currencies" have carried out centralized transactions on some Internet platforms, the number of stakeholders has graally expanded, and the potential financial and social risks can not be ignored
the Internet Finance Association stressed: "there is no legal basis for the establishment of various so-called" currency "trading platforms in China." Investors participate in speculation through bitcoin and other so-called "virtual currency" trading platforms, and face the risk of price fluctuations and security risks. Recently, a large number of trading platforms have been stopped by the regulatory authorities for supporting the token issuance financing (ICO)
more virtual money will inevitably disturb the social order, and it is an inevitable trend to restrict virtual money< br />
Recently, it has been rumored that central bank officials from Shanghai and Beijing have begun to investigate virtual currency trading venues, and it is likely that the ban on virtual currency trading will be lifted. After the reporter to a special rectification of Internet financial risk staff verification, the relevant reports and facts do not match
instry insiders suggest that the majority of consumers and investors should enhance their awareness of risk prevention. If they find that they are involved in illegal financial activities in the notice, they can report to the relevant regulatory authorities or China Internet Finance Association. If they are suspected of crimes, they can report to the public security organ
With regard to the digital currency which has soared tens of thousands of times before, various policies and news are constantly emerging. Bitcoin fell from the highest point of 130000 to about 40000, and Shanzhai digital coin even fell to 99%. But Xiangge said that the transaction will not end, but there will be periodic fluctuations. In the news of China financial news network, I communicated with senior people in the currency circle for the first time. When the news is all over the place and people are in a panic, the more we need to listen to the ideas and opinions of professionals. My friend, a Xiong, CEO of digital exchange, has experienced the whole process of digital currency take-off, development and adjustment. His current project is digital currency trading platform and related intelligent investment consultant. His thoughts and opinions are summarized as follows:
