Domestic virtual currency trading platform stops operation
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 the control of all people. 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<
2. Avoiding supervision and becoming the "accomplice" of criminal activities
virtual currency transaction is not protected by law:
virtual currency transaction is not illegal, and it is not illegal to invest in virtual currency. But how to get involved in virtual currency transactions is illegal and illegal. It may be suspected of illegal fund-raising.
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
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 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:
although virtual currency trading is closed in China, the trading platform itself and virtual currency are not prohibited; Similarly, the blockchain technology itself has research value.
