The United States recognizes ant financial services and bitcoin
at the end of June 2013, after the German parliament decided that bitcoin would be tax-free if it was held for more than one year, bitcoin was recognized as a "unit of account" by the German Ministry of finance, which means that bitcoin has been regarded as a legal currency in Germany and can be used to pay taxes and engage in trade activities< In August 2013, judge Amos mazant of Texas District Court ruled in a case of bitcoin virtual hedge fund that bitcoin is a kind of currency and should be included in the scope of financial regulation
legal status
bitcoin can still be considered as legal at present. In the world, bitcoin can be regarded as a virtual commodity and protected by law; If bitcoin cannot be officially recognized as a kind of currency by law, it may bring inconvenience to the businesses and indivials who accept bitcoin in tax declaration, because the businesses who accept bitcoin will be regarded as barter transactions, and such transactions are more troublesome than ordinary transactions in tax declaration
at the same time, bitcoin, as a commodity highly similar to currency, needs to meet the demand of anti money laundering. Bitcoin needs to be included in the personal property declaration, banking anti money laundering system, anti insider trading, anti market manipulation and other systems in terms of transaction and possession. Bitcoin exchanges and storage institutions may also need government supervision and licensing. Some fast-growing bitcoin exchanges and payment service providers are actively exploring cooperation with regulatory agencies to bring bitcoin payment into the regulatory framework of anti money laundering and anti-terrorism financing by applying for licenses and actively communicating with regulatory authorities

While these systems may play an active role in financial innovation and in providing consumers with alternative means of payment, they also clearly create risks. " "Because of the small size of virtual currency systems, these risks do not affect anyone other than the users of these systems," the report added The report reviews the history of bitcoin and reviews its basic features, including currency and technical operation.

[characteristics of bitcoin]
the reason why bitcoin is anonymous is that they are built on a decentralized system. Bitcoin is completely independent, and the outside world cannot shut it down through some kind of core infrastructure
"anonymity" is very useful for those who don't want to associate their name with the goods or services they purchase. What outsiders see is nothing more than the address of your bitcoin wallet and a string of random words and numbers. Besides, there is no information that can identify themselves. For relatively paranoid users, they can also create many new wallets for free.
bitcoin is designed to allow anonymous ownership and use rights. Bitcoin can be stored in personal computers in the form of computer files (wallets) or in third-party hosting services. No matter how it is saved, bitcoin can be sent to anyone on the Internet through its address. The distributed characteristics of P2P and the design of no central management mechanism ensure that no organization can manipulate the value of bitcoin or create inflation. Its main features are as follows:
< UL >decentralization
bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without a central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of the security and freedom of bitcoin
< UL >circulation around the world
bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin
< UL >exclusive ownership
the private key is required to manipulate bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself
< UL >low transaction cost
bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but in the end, a transaction fee of about 1 bit will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster execution of the transaction
< UL >no hidden cost
as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay
< UL >cross platform mining
users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms
[bitcoin acquisition method]
first of all, your computer should be installed with the latest version of bitcoin client. After opening the client, all the transaction information data on the network will be automatically downloaded to the local. Depending on the network speed, this process may take several hours. At this time, the account balance is 0. Users can ask friends to send some coins, but a more feasible way is to do mining or merchant acquisition[ 6]
< UL >
mining as a miner
to be a miner is to proce bitcoin with one's own computer. In the early client, there was the option of mining, but it has been cancelled. The reason is very simple. With more and more people participating in mining, it may take several years for one to dig 50 coins, So miners generally organize into miners' guild, and they dig together. Specific mining methods, you can go online search. This method is already very unrealistic
< UL >as a businessman, you can buy coins g by miners with money, open an online shop to sell things and collect bitcoin, and even go to the exchange to speculate in coins. There are many websites providing bitcoin exchange services, which can be converted into almost any kind of currency. If you really don't know how to exchange, you can also come to laoan for help
the difficulty of bitcoin mining is directly proportional to the amount of money that has been mined. The more difficult it is to mine, the more difficult it will be. After 20 million bitcoins are mined out in 2030, the remaining 1 million bitcoins will probably take decades to be mined out. And bitcoin has no central issuing authority, which is generated by network nodes through complex calculations. Anyone can run bitcoin software on a computer to make it. During circulation, enter the quantity 1 on the client software, then come to the other party's bitcoin address and sign with the payer's password. After that, the bitcoin is the other party's
