Why not crack down on virtual currency
since then, the network and shell electronics have announced the stop of bitcoin payment. Recently, the central bank interviewed the third party payment agencies. Alipay and Fu Tong pass closed the virtual currency trading window such as bitcoin, resulting in a further fall in bitcoin prices.
it is also reported that the cooperation between banks and bitcoin trading platform is not supported by the regulatory authorities, which basically turns off the possibility of recharge and withdrawal on bitcoin platform, that is, blocking the mutual exchange between domestic bitcoin and RMB
bitcoin trading platforms such as "bitcoin China" and okcoin also resumed to charge 0.3% transaction fees, and increased the withdrawal fees to 1%. Some analysts believe that this is to prevent a large number of investors from cashing out
all kinds of signs show that bitcoin is getting worse and worse in China. However, the conclusion of bitcoin's exit from China may be overstated
first, bitcoin can be freely traded as a commodity
although the central bank does not recognize the legal tender status of bitcoin, it does not deny the legitimacy of bitcoin as a commodity and does not prohibit investment, trading and purchase of bitcoin. Ordinary people have the freedom to participate at their own risk
Second, the bitcoin trade has not collapsed yet
a bitcoin player said that the current transaction price of bitcoin is not low enough to lead to the collapse of the trade. The price of bitcoin is still higher than the cost price of bitcoin, that is, the price of mining< Third, the transaction channel is not blocked
although some third-party payments have stopped supporting bitcoin transactions, and banks are not optimistic, bitcoin trading platform can also use other third-party payment interfaces, or use foreign payment interfaces to pay. Some bitcoin trading platforms are considering transferring their servers abroad
the above-mentioned bitcoin player said that he once withdrew cash from his personal account to remit money to him. In other words, bitcoin transaction may bypass the third-party payment
at the same time, cash transaction is also a possible way of transaction< Four, the biggest risk of bitcoin trading is not regulation
the biggest risk of bitcoin trading is not government regulation, but security risks
bitcoin is at risk of being stolen by hackers. If there is a large-scale loss of bitcoin, it will directly affect the fairness of market transactions, which is a real "bottom-up"
however, at present, the security risks of bitcoin have not been fully exposed
the overall risk has increased
it must be admitted that the government's increased supervision has further increased the risk of bitcoin trading
moreover, the transaction threshold is obviously higher than before
in essence, as a means of investment, the risk of bitcoin is self-evident. If there is no final person to take over the offer, even if bitcoin is in short supply, it lacks real value and only has limited online use value. If you can't find the last recipient, bitcoin will probably disappear like a bubble.
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

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

Although citizens' investment and trading in other virtual currencies are personal freedom, they can not be protected by law

virtual currency refers to non real currency

in view of the depth of the problem background, we need to stand higher in the starting point of research. The problem of currency is the problem of modernity, and the problem of virtual currency is the problem of post modernity. They do not share the same basic paradigm. It is the difference of paradigm, not virtual phenomenon, that leads to the difference between them
10 10, two major domestic payment giants Alipay and WeChat simultaneously voicing, prohibiting the use of platforms in virtual currency transactions. Why did Alipay and WeChat voice at the same time? The reporter understands that this may be related to a dynamic trend of a virtual trading platform in the near future. P>

has repeatedly banned payment agencies to provide virtual
services. In fact, the central bank and its branches have repeatedly requested payment agencies not to provide services for virtual currency transactions.

is has the long term stability. It is not a matter of long-term stability. It is not the calculation of our own but has the final say of the opening party. So this is also a network pyramid selling. There is no guarantee that when the money is in it, there is no money to go out. There is no money to make
2. virtual currency: now it is empty in the market. There are a lot of counterfeit things like electronic currency, virtual currency, virtual currency, encrypted digital currency and so on.

Now I know how to judge and have experience. I want to know For more differentiation criteria of virtual currency, see user, user, name, one, rise, chat,,

As long as the influence of bitcoin scam is not particularly bad, the government generally adopts the policy that the people do not sue, the officials do not blame, and turn a blind eye to it. Because even if the government enters, it is difficult to find the culprit. The information of some operation teams is not public, and it is difficult to find it on the Internet. Some of them are still abroad, so it is difficult to solve the case. Some of the culprits turn around and become victims. There are also those who participated in the bitcoin pyramid scheme. A large number of victims are also the biggest accomplices< br />
money, in essence, is the contract of exchange right between owners. Different forms of money are unified in essence. In the past, e to people's unclear understanding of the nature of money, people mistakenly divided money into different categories from different angles, such as debt currency and non debt currency according to the commodity value of money, convertible currency and non convertible currency according to whether the exchange ratio of precious metals is agreed, etc
formally, according to the commodity value of money, it can be divided into physical money and formal money. Physical money itself is a special kind of goods, including the amount of value, such as sheep, precious metals, etc; The formal currency itself has no value, its value is contractual, only contractual value. The two forms are different, but they are unified in essence, that is, they are both agreed as the medium of exchange, and both have contractual value. The purchasing power of money depends on the contract value of money, but the purchasing power of physical money is also affected by its own commodity value. Generally, the commodity value of physical money is less than its contract value as money
in high school textbooks, the essence of money is interpreted as a general equivalent[ 3] This definition only starts from the function, in fact, it does not explain the essence of money, nor can it answer the inherent logical question, that is, why money can act as a general equivalent
for questions about the nature of monetary contract, please refer to monetary contract
