What's wrong with the loophole of virtual currency technology

1. The value of virtual currency is reflected in "more people recognize it". At the beginning of any instry, there will be savage growth. Take bitcoin as an example, the peak price of bitcoin is close to $2W, and the current price is only about $6500
in the current situation, blockchain is not a mature technology. What the market values is the so-called prospect, and it will take time to improve and excavate it slowly. However, the collapse of virtual currency is just a return to its own value
in short, I think bitcoin will continue to grow slowly after falling below a certain price. The current slump is just that the funds attracted by the previous heat have discovered the characteristics of virtual currency (hacker attack, dealer trading, these two situations will probably only appear in the newly issued currency, which is determined by the characteristics of blockchain, in other words, Hackers may also attack bitcoin in the early stage, but the more people and nodes bitcoin enters, the lower the probability of this situation, and the more difficult it is to generate)
in addition, I think that a large number of people in China even don't know what bitcoin is, so they are ready to make a fortune with money.

Virtual currency fraud calls 110 directly

many departments, such as the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, the central office of information technology, the Ministry of public security and so on, issued risk tips, saying that some criminals, under the banner of "financial innovation" and "blockchain", absorbed funds by issuing the so-called "virtual currency", "virtual assets" and "digital assets", thus infringing the legitimate rights and interests of the public

this kind of activity is not really based on blockchain technology, but on the hype of blockchain concept, illegal fund-raising, pyramid selling and fraud. In essence, it is a Ponzi scheme of "repaying the old by borrowing the new", which is difficult to maintain the long-term operation of funds

the public should treat the blockchain rationally, not blindly believe the promises, establish a correct monetary concept and investment concept, and effectively improve the risk awareness. Report to the public security organ in time after being cheated

extended data:

the first is the obvious networking and cross-border of virtual currency. Relying on the Internet and chat tools for transactions, and using online payment tools to balance funds, the risks spread widely and spread quickly. Some lawless elements set up websites by renting overseas servers to carry out activities for domestic residents and control illegal activities remotely

some indivials claim that they have obtained the investment quota of overseas high-quality blockchain projects in the chat tool group and can invest on their behalf, which is most likely fraud. Most of these illegal funds flow overseas, which makes it very difficult to supervise and trace

followed by deception, temptation and concealment. They use hot concepts to hype, fabricate various "tall and tall" theories, and some also use celebrity "big V" platforms to publicize. They use airdrop "candy" as temptation to claim that "currency value only rises but not falls", "investment cycle is short, income is high, and risk is low", which has strong bewitching

in practice, criminals illegally make huge profits by manipulating the price trend of the so-called virtual currency, setting profit and withdrawal threshold. In addition, some criminals also issue tokens under the guise of ICO, IFO, IEO, etc., or hype virtual currency in the way of IMO under the banner of sharing economy, which has strong concealment and confusion

finally, there are many kinds of illegal risks in this kind of behavior. Through public publicity, the illegal elements attract the public to invest funds, lure investors and development personnel to join, and constantly expand the fund pool with the t of currency appreciation and development offline profits, which has the characteristics of illegal fund-raising, pyramid selling, fraud and other illegal acts

3. The following is for reference only:
very large
in the field of blockchain and virtual currency, such cases of losses caused by the security of exchanges occur frequently, causing great economic losses to users. The security experts of Juhui ggfx also gave a hint: there are still many loopholes in the current digital currency trading platform, for example, the most common are the following six kinds:
the first kind: denial of service attack
denial of service attack is the most important attack against the digital currency trading platform at present. Through denial of service attack, the attacker makes the trading platform unable to access normally, Because users can not accurately distinguish the degree of attack, it often causes panic asset transfer, which brings some loss
the second kind: phishing
even the best technical measures at present can not make the digital currency trading platform avoid phishing attacks. Some hackers and outlaws can confuse digital currency investors by means of fake domain names or fake pages, while ordinary investors can't identify the authenticity, so it's easy to cause asset losses
the third: Hot wallet protection
many digital currency trading platforms use a single private key to protect the hot wallet. If hackers can access a single private key, they can crack the hot wallet related to the private key. For example, in the attack on yapizon of Seoul stock exchange in 2017, the attackers stole hot wallets from the trading platform twice in a year, resulting in a total loss of nearly 50% of the assets of the trading platform and eventually leading to the bankruptcy of the trading platform
Fourth: internal attack
e to the lack of perfect risk isolation measures or ineffective supervision on the authority of employees, the digital currency trading platform also has employees' self-monitoring and stealing, and some employees with operating authority of the platform use internal trust to seek ill gotten gains for themselves. For example, in 2016, the event of employees stealing bitcoin on shapeshift caused a total loss of US $230000 to the trading platform by stealing and reselling sensitive information to others
the fifth: software vulnerability
the software vulnerability of digital currency trading platform includes single sign on vulnerability, OAuth protocol vulnerability, etc. At present, all countries have laws requiring banks or other financial institutions to implement information security measures to protect customers' deposits. However, e to the fact that the blockchain field is still in its infancy, there is a lack of such specifications for encrypting digital assets. Therefore, it is not accidental that many trading platforms have a large number of loopholes in the absence of security constraints
sixth: transaction malleability
Technical supporters of blockchain often think that blockchain transactions are highly secure because they are recorded on records that are said to be unchangeable, but each transaction needs to have a corresponding signature, and the records can be temporarily forged before the final confirmation of the transaction. Mt. GOx, which once accounted for 80% of the world's total transactions, was hacked to submit code changes to the public ledger before the initial transaction was released, resulting in a loss of 473 million US dollars< br /> &# 160;

As a proct of e-commerce, virtual currency is playing a more and more important role, and it is more and more connected with the real world. However, with the growth of virtual currency, the relevant laws and regulations are lagging behind, which has laid many hidden dangers

1. fraud

2. impact on financial system

3. network security problems

   
   

4. solutions

   with the continuous progress of technology, electronic payment (including electronic money) is changing people's payment habits, but also changing people's consumption habits, promoting the expansion of consumer credit. It is necessary to pay close attention to the innovation of the form, the evolution of the nature, the difference of the operation mode and the possible impact on the credit risk and moral hazard of this new thing, and properly supervise it. But the more important thing is to give the market main body corresponding development space, avoid strangling the development vitality of the corresponding business organization in the early stage of market development. Therefore, the best way to treat e-money is to observe its changes and strengthen research. In the face of such remarks as "q-coin impacts the RMB financial market", we need to discuss them in the context of scientific and technological progress. The key to understand the problem is how to design relevant policies and encourage the development of electronic payment instruments such as electronic money, rather than the harm of speculative virtual money and electronic money. We call for strengthening supervision

5. The possible problems of virtual currency are as follows:
1. The existence of pyramid selling currency and air currency
2. Forget the secret key of wallet and never find back bcbot
3. Too many leeks
4. Money laundering
5. Jiuzhuang

6. There will certainly be conflicts, and different virtual currency developers and operators will tear and force each other. However, whether virtual currency can continue to exist depends on the following points:

1. The strength and technology of the operation and development technical team can not keep up with each other. In addition to the problem that cannot be solved, it will eventually die
2. The level of public relations promotion operation team, because many Shanzhai coins are homogeneous, the difference is only the so-called propaganda culture
3. If the original intention of the development and operation team is just to make money, it will not take long
4. Is there a strong community member to promote its development voluntarily? There is a classic saying on the Internet: "losers win the world."
5. The overall strength of the development and operation team is strong, and the currency has survived for a longer time. Recently, Fuyuan coin, which is similar to business points, emerged in the jewelry instry, is an example. It is legally registered in California, the United States, a domestic corporatized Trading platform, and its information is open and transparent.

8. Generally speaking, virtual currency has no disadvantages. Generally speaking, there is a platform to protect you.

9. There is no need to worry about this. Bittok uses the most advanced cold wallet technology to fundamentally eliminate security threats from all aspects, protect the security of users' digital assets, and avoid the loss of users' assets caused by the security technical loopholes of the exchange.
