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

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
bitcoin is the most famous virtual currency. First of all, it has been seven years and eight months since its birth in 2009. From being worthless at first, it rose to 8000 yuan / piece in 2013, and even attracted Chinese aunts to join. With the regulatory policy crackdown in 2014, bitcoin once fell to about 1000 yuan, and then entered the bear market channel. It was not until the beginning of this year that a new round of bitcoin market broke out, hovering at a high of 4300 yuan / piece< However, the attitude of the regulators is clear. Whether it is genuine bitcoin, or a variety of derivative Shanzhai coins, there is no way to obtain legal living space at present. This is something we need to be clear about. If the platform goes out of business or the staff runs away, it is very likely that they will lose all their money and the losses they have suffered will not be protected by law
the promises they give you often make the participants pay money quickly. Behind them is the Ponzi scheme of "robbing the east to pay the west" + "cheating the white wolf with empty hands". They use the money of new investors to pay interest and short-term return to old investors, so as to create the illusion of making money and cheat more investment. When no new investors enter, the return of old investors collapses one after another, and it is often difficult to withdraw cash, or the website cannot be opened
in short, although the external form of virtual currency is ever-changing, it is not divorced from its essence of pyramid selling. The more investors put in, the greater the final loss, and the more serious the loss may be.
Now the most popular is the blockchain. Now people continue to join the blockchain instry. Even some giant enterprises are also studying the blockchain. Some people say that the blockchain is a fraud, and others say that the blockchain is the hope of the future. Let's explain it
1. Is blockchain a Ponzi scheme
No, blockchain is a technology. Technology itself can't commit a crime without self-consciousness
blockchain is essentially a decentralized accounting system
What is decentralization? Take chestnuts for example:in Guaizi village, Cuihua has an affair with Lao Wang next door and is seen by Li Si. After that, Li Si told everyone in the village about it. As a result, Cuihua and Lao Wang Dao are well-known about the affair. For more details, please click
Ponzi scheme is a kind of fraulent investment operation. It uses investors' own money to pay investors in return, or new investors' money to pay old investors, rather than the company's own money. When there are not enough new investors to join, the Ponzi scheme will collapse, and the final investors will suffer
virtual currency is a free software project without a central management organization, so no one can make a false statement about the return on investment. Just like other major currencies, such as gold, US dollar, euro and yen, virtual currency can not guarantee purchasing power and exchange rate is free floating. The resulting volatility makes it impossible for virtual currency holders to predict profits or losses
at present, the more well-known virtual currencies are bitcoin, Fuyuan and Laite
however, there are many kinds of money used in pyramid schemes under the guise of virtual currency and bitcoin, such as the token financing scam reported by CCTV, the Vicat and BBT minting pyramid schemes exposed by bitcoin home.
however, the attitude of regulators is clear. Whether it is genuine bitcoin, or a variety of derivative Shanzhai coins, there is no way to obtain legal living space at present. This is something we need to be clear about. If the platform goes out of business or the staff runs away, it is very likely that they will lose all their money and the losses they have suffered will not be protected by law
the promises they give you often make the participants pay money quickly. Behind them is the Ponzi scheme of "robbing the east to pay the west" + "cheating the white wolf with empty hands".

in short, although the external form of virtual currency is ever-changing, it is not divorced from its essence of pyramid selling. The more investors put in, the greater the final loss, and the more serious the loss may be.
virtual currency itself is not a pyramid scheme, it is just used by some criminals. Since 2013, the popular virtual currencies include bitcoin, Wright coin, Fuyuan coin, doggy coin, reborn coin and so on.
It can not be said to be a fraud, but there are certain risks, because digital gold currency is a form of physical currency, and its deposits are measured in gold rather than legal currency. Therefore, the purchasing power fluctuation of digital gold currency is related to the gold price. If the price of gold goes up, it becomes more valuable. If the price of gold goes down, it loses value
since there is no specific financial regulation to regulate digital gold money suppliers, they operate in a self-regulation way. Digital gold money suppliers are not banks, so banking regulations are not applicable

to explore the connotation of digital currency, we must clarify some concepts of model lake. For example, is it legal digital currency dominated by the central bank or illegal private fixed digital currency; Encryption of digital currency or electronic currency; Is it "selling dog meat with sheep's head"; "Bad money"
new technology does make the conceptual boundary of money more blurred. Theoretically speaking, the new monetary economics points out the possibility of the disappearance of money, that is, legal paper money is no longer the only medium of transaction, and is eventually replaced by financial assets issued by the private sector that generate monetary income
in reality, although the status of fiat money is still unshakable, there have been various local scenes of private money in history, such as the universal warra system in Germany in the 1920s. Now the digital currency with the characteristics of decentralization makes the challenge of private currency increasingly prominent< br />
To judge whether it is MLM or not, we need to analyze the legal connotation of this behavior from a legal point of view. If the following conditions are met, it belongs to MLM
