When will the government manage bitcoin
There is no law in China to ban bitcoin, so it is not illegal to mine and earn bitcoin
it is not illegal to buy bitcoin in China. In 2013, five ministries and commissions jointly issued the bitcoin risk notice, which states that although bitcoin does not belong to legal tender and is not legally compulsory, people can freely participate in bitcoin trading activities when they voluntarily undertake risks
< H2 > extended materials < H2 >
"notice" clearly defines the nature of bitcoin, and holds that bitcoin is not issued by the monetary authority, has no monetary attributes such as legal compensation and mandatory, and is not a real currency. In terms of nature, bitcoin is a specific virtual commodity, which does not have the same legal status as currency and cannot and should not be used as currency in the market
however, as a kind of commodity trading on the Internet, ordinary people have the freedom to participate in bitcoin trading at their own risk
the notice requires that at this stage, financial institutions and Payment institutions shall not price procts or services with bitcoin, buy or sell bitcoin as a central counterparties, underwrite insurance business related to bitcoin or include bitcoin in the scope of insurance liability, and provide other bitcoin related services to customers directly or indirectly, Including: providing bitcoin registration, trading, clearing, settlement and other services for customers; Accept bitcoin or use bitcoin as a payment and settlement tool; Carry out bitcoin and RMB and foreign currency exchange services; Carry out bitcoin storage, custody, mortgage and other services; Issuing financial procts related to bitcoin; Take bitcoin as the investment target of trust, fund, etc
in order to avoid over hype of virtual commodities such as bitcoin in the name of "virtual currency" and damage the public interest and the legal tender status of RMB, the circular requires financial institutions and Payment institutions to correctly use the concept of currency in their daily work, pay attention to strengthening the ecation of the public's knowledge of currency, and correctly understand the concept of currency The concept of correctly treating virtual commodity and virtual currency, rational investment, reasonable control of investment risk, and maintenance of their own property security should be included in the content of financial knowledge popularization activities, so as to guide the public to establish a correct concept of currency and investment

according to the regulations on the administration of RMB, the proction and sale of token tickets are prohibited. Because there is no clear judicial interpretation of the definition of token ticket, if bitcoin is included in the "token ticket", the legal prospect of bitcoin in China will face uncertainty< On June 4, 2009, the notice of the Ministry of culture and the Ministry of Commerce on strengthening the management of virtual currency in online games (Wen Shi Fa [2009] No. 20) stated that the scope of application of virtual currency in online games was defined for the first time, and a distinction was made between the current virtual currency in online games and the virtual props in games; At the same time, the notice said that the "notice" stipulates that enterprises engaged in related services must be approved before they can operate
in China, some Taobao stores have begun to accept the use of bitcoin, and the number of businesses will graally increase
in October 2013, the first bitcoin quarterly, one bit, was released
on October 15, 2013, the network accelerator service of the network announced its support for bitcoin
on October 26, 2013, btcmini reported that GBL was hacked
on October 31, 2013, Lei Teng, a famous Internet lawyer, proposed the event of "filing a case to investigate the closure of GBL bitcoin trading platform as soon as possible", analyzed the "value function" and "use function" of bitcoin, and bitcoin should be governed by relevant laws.
however, it has not been fully and effectively regulated at present (as of March 6, 2019)
if we understand bitcoin as a kind of "currency", then it is equivalent to US dollars leaving the United States. Usually, after the US dollar leaves the United States, banks in other countries will help manage it. However, it is impossible to count the scattered us dollars that are neither in the United States nor in the hands of banks and other financial institutions. For example, in some areas of Africa where there are no banks, the US dollar is used
these scattered us dollars are equivalent to bitcoin
how to regulate these scattered us dollars
generally, in addition to controlling the issuance of US dollars, US dollar regulation also controls the circulation and usage ports. The Federal Reserve controls the number of new currencies issued each year according to the flow and damage of dollars abroad. At the same time, we should supervise the inflow and outflow of US dollars, so as to keep us dollars in an environment that can be roughly traced, so as to facilitate the issuers to count the total amount, so as to avoid excessive inflation or deflation
in fact, these scattered us dollars exist in some deregulated environments. Although they are out of control, they will not affect the overall economic situation
If anyone wants to influence the international economy through these scattered us dollars, then it must enter the existing regulatory system. In this way, these scattered dollars are regulated
for bitcoin, we can also learn from these forms of regulation
first of all, from the point of view of the issuing end, although the total number of bitcoin is now 21 million, it is also "set before" and cannot be changed
recently, it has been mentioned that the 21 million bitcoin limit should be abolished, which means that the issue of bitcoin is not stable. Therefore, it is necessary to control the issuance of bitcoin from the development end
you need to get inside the development side and become a core developer
Second, monitoring from the circulation link. In fact, this is the most difficult monitoring at present, because the blockchain is anonymous, the user is anonymous, and the receiver is anonymous
even though we can trace the circulation path of bitcoin by technical means (for example, we can know that a transaction is sent from a small house in the United States to a commercial building in Germany), it is only a drop in the bucket for tens of millions of users in the whole environment. How to trace and manage the overall transaction data is a huge problem
you can't know from the transaction data whether the user is engaged in illegal transactions
what should we do? Regulators have come up with a way to bind personal identity information to the user's real name, your exchange account number and bitcoin wallet address. But this is also a temporary solution, because it can only monitor the use of bitcoin in specific situations. An indivial can use multiple bitcoin wallet addresses. You don't know when he will apply for a new one
in terms of circulation, there is also a monitoring system to control the exchange channel between bitcoin and local legal currency. Banks in some regions do not provide financial services for users who exchange bitcoin for legal currency, and some countries and regions prohibit financial institutions from providing bitcoin and local legal currency exchange services
if users secretly exchange huge amounts of bitcoin, some clues can be found through the bank transfer records, so as to crack down on illegal acts in time. As for those who make little trouble, let him go
thirdly, restrict the use. This is relatively easy to achieve. For example, relevant laws have been issued to prohibit the use of bitcoin transactions. Although it's impossible to ban it completely, it's better than letting it run wild All over the world, it seems that what is forbidden is not completely forbidden
for example, before using bitcoin in public, you must use your real name, and you have to pay taxes to hold or use bitcoin
of course, it's OK for users not to do so, so it's better to use its assets in the dark
having said so much, now you know that bitcoin can be regulated, but it's not so well managed. Many measures have been taken, and it seems that they are not effectively regulated. Under what circumstances can bitcoin be effectively regulated? Users consciously report their holdings of bitcoin to the regulatory authorities. The regulatory authorities add some development functions to the bitcoin to achieve supervision, or they don't need to use it, so it doesn't matter at all
in fact, it can't be controlled so strictly, as long as it can't be controlled in the range of big waves. After all, there is light and dark, and there may be no gray space at all
new technology will surely have an advantage when it comes to living now.
On the afternoon of December 5, 2013, the people's Bank of China issued the notice on preventing bitcoin risks. In the notice, the people's Bank of China said that bitcoin is not a currency, but a virtual commodity. Financial institutions and Payment institutions are not allowed to carry out business related to bitcoin. As soon as the notice was issued, bitcoin fell sharply on China's trading platform, and it has dropped by 60% in three weeks. This is the beginning of bitcoin being restricted by the Central Bank of China. In mid March 2014, the people's Bank of China issued a notice on further strengthening bitcoin risk prevention to all branches of the people's Bank of China, which required all banks and third-party payment institutions to close the trading accounts of 15 domestic bitcoin platforms before April 15. This shows that it is illegal for financial institutions in China to open trading accounts for bitcoin website platforms. Except for cash transactions, bitcoin investors can not conct bank transfer and third-party payment for transactions in China< br />
bitcoin is a decentralized and decentralized monetary system. From the government's point of view, it is not whether it should or not, but it must carry out supervision, and find out the beneficial part in its development process for traction
whether the private economy's acceptance of bitcoin is enough to form an irreversible trend depends on the game between the government and indivials in this process
if the existing monetary system brings more benefits to most nodes in the economic chain or to you, you will not choose the trading scenario of bitcoin from a personal point of view
for example, why do you use bitcoin: is it more convenient to pay? Is trading safer? Is it cheaper to buy a computer? Or for speculation
if most people who use bitcoin are speculative, it is morally reasonable for bitcoin to be regulated in the process of normal social and economic development.
