Virtual currency is not protected by national laws

1. 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 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<

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

5. First, virtual currency, such as bitcoin, or some game and network currencies, such as QB and some game gold coins, are all personal legal property. As long as an indivial legally obtains them, they will be protected
Second, transactions prohibited by the state, especially speculation and trading of the virtual currency are prohibited in China. However, banning trading does not mean that the virtual coin itself is illegal or worthless
for example, bitcoin, which China refuses to recognize as any regional chain block currency, also forbids trading and services, does not mean that bitcoin itself has no value. In the international trading system, bitcoin is recognized in some regions, And there is a corresponding value scale
when someone steals bitcoin or swindles bitcoin, the state will still treat it as theft or fraud, and the amount needs to be approved< At present, the transaction and pricing of virtual currency are prohibited in China, but the value and holding of virtual currency itself are not prohibited. As long as the currency is not defined as illegal, it is legal.
similarly, game currency is also recognized as legal property, but its transaction is prohibited by the state, which does not affect the corresponding legal liability caused by the infringement of virtual currency

In judicial practice, there are cases that the contract of disposing virtual currency is valid and the penalty is imposed for stealing virtual currency
