in the future, the people's Bank of China will continue to pay close attention to the trend and related risks of bitcoin based on its own responsibilities End)
bitcoin home has an interpretation.
at present, the disorder of bitcoin trading in China needs to be cleaned up and rectified. This kind of clean-up and rectification has sufficient legal basis
1. The "transaction" and "circulation use" of bitcoin violate the law of the people's Bank of China of the people's Republic of China. Article 16 of the law clearly stipulates that "the legal currency of the people's Republic of China is RMB", and the institution that "issues RMB and manages the circulation of RMB" is unique, that is, the people's Bank of China; Article 20 stipulates that "no unit or indivial may print or sell token tickets to replace RMB in circulation on the market.". In fact, bitcoin has the function of "token", and the network platforms and merchants that conct bitcoin transactions have violated the provisions of the law, which should be investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law
2. Bitcoin's "trading" and "circulation and use" violate the foreign exchange regulations. Article 3 of the regulations clearly defines that "foreign exchange refers to the following payment means and assets expressed in foreign currency that can be used for international settlement, including foreign currency payment vouchers or payment instruments, including bills, bank deposit certificates, bank cards, etc.". Article 8 clearly stipulates that "the circulation of foreign currency is prohibited within the territory of the people's Republic of China, and foreign currency shall not be used for valuation and settlement.". Article 45 clearly stipulates: "those who buy or sell foreign exchange without permission, in disguised form, buy or resell foreign exchange, or illegally introce foreign exchange to buy or sell a large amount of foreign exchange shall be given a warning by the foreign exchange administration, their illegal income shall be confiscated, and a fine of less than 30% of the illegal amount shall be imposed; If the circumstances are serious, a fine of not less than 30% of the illegal amount shall be imposed; If a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law. ". Bitcoin, as an international means of payment recognized by many countries, should be subject to the regulation. Websites and businesses engaged in bitcoin trading and use should be investigated and dealt with in accordance with the regulation< Third, bitcoin does not belong to the "virtual currency" defined in Chinese laws and regulations. Many bitcoin trading platforms claim to operate legally according to the relevant laws and regulations of China's "virtual currency", which is wrong. In 2009, the Ministry of culture and the Ministry of Commerce issued the notice on strengthening the management of virtual currency of online games, which clearly defined: "the virtual currency of online games mentioned in this Notice refers to the virtual currency of online games issued by online game operation enterprises, which is directly or indirectly purchased by game users using legal tender in a certain proportion, and exists outside the game program, It is a virtual exchange tool that is stored in the server provided by online game operators in the form of electromagnetic records and expressed in specific digital units. " The "notice" also makes it clear that "the use scope of online game virtual currency is limited to the virtual services provided by the issuing enterprise itself, and shall not be used to pay for, purchase physical procts or exchange for any procts and services of other enterprises". Bitcoin is not issued by game enterprises, and it can be exchanged for physical and currency. It can be seen that bitcoin is completely different from this kind of "virtual currency" and does not belong to the "virtual currency" stipulated by law. Even if it is engaged in the trading service platform business of "virtual currency", it is necessary to apply to the cultural authorities for the establishment of an operating Internet cultural unit for administrative license in accordance with the provisions. In the application report, it is necessary to specify the service (platform) mode, user purchase method (including cash, bank card, online payment and other purchase methods), user rights and interests protection measures, user's rights and interests protection measures Binding of user account and real name bank account, technical security measures, etc
so far, no bitcoin trading platform has obtained and is unlikely to obtain such administrative license
4. Bitcoin trading platform violates the telecommunication management regulations such as the telecommunication management regulations and the measures for the administration of Internet information services, which constitutes "illegal business operation"
Article 7 of the regulations on the administration of telecommunications clearly stipulates that "the State implements a licensing system for the operation of telecommunications business according to the classification of telecommunications business. In order to operate telecommunication business, a telecommunication business license issued by the competent department of information instry under the State Council or the telecommunication administrative agency of a province, autonomous region or municipality directly under the central government must be obtained in accordance with the provisions of these regulations. No organization or indivial may engage in telecommunications business without a telecommunications business license. " Internet information service is one of the value-added telecommunication services restricted by the law Article 4 of the measures for the administration of Internet information services stipulates that "the State shall implement a licensing system for operating Internet information services; The non operating Internet information service shall be put on record. Those who have not obtained permission or have not gone through the filing proceres shall not engage in Internet information services. " Bitcoin trading platform collects "transaction fees" or "withdrawal fees" or engages in "related advertising business", which belongs to "operating" Internet information service business
bitcoin trading platform has neither obtained nor is it possible to obtain "operating license for operating Internet information service business", and some websites have not even put it on record. This behavior constitutes "illegal business operation" according to law, and should be investigated and dealt with according to law< 5. Those who use bitcoin to engage in gambling, money laundering, bribery, fund-raising fraud and other illegal acts shall be punished in accordance with the relevant provisions of the criminal law of the people's Republic of China. Bitcoin's "value function" and "use function" make it become the "object element" of criminal behavior, and the criminal behavior related to bitcoin should not be placed outside the legal jurisdiction
no one can say for sure what the future of bitcoin will be. However, under the current financial management system of "foreign exchange can not be freely circulated and exchanged" in China, with the high incidence of corruption and economic crimes, it is impossible to seek the legitimacy of bitcoin trading platform, and it is sooner or later to clean up and rectify bitcoin trading platform. However, the sooner things come, the better. If they are delayed, more bitcoin trading platforms will collapse, more "investors" will lose all their money, and a large number of cases of "illegal business operation crime", "illegal fund-raising crime" and "fund-raising fraud" will be investigated to quell public indignation
if the relevant authorities think these bitcoin trading platforms are legal, they should also make a clear statement to give the operators of the relevant platforms a "talisman" to avoid "settling accounts in the future"

It's not against the law to do bitcoin business, but don't use bitcoin to do illegal things
the following is the bitcoin risk notice issued by the central bank and other five ministries and commissions (bitcoin home has the full text):
the notice 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, bitcoin trading as a commodity trading behavior on the Internet, ordinary people have the freedom to participate at their own risk
Bitcoin trading is a kind of commodity trading on the Internet. Ordinary people have the freedom to participate in it at their own risk
there are two ways to trade bitcoin, one is spot trading, also known as currency trading, which requires the purchase of usdt (omnilayer protocol based digital assets released on bitcoin blockchain), and then the purchase of spot, and the other is futures trading. the futures trading is divided into delivery contract trading, which is generally a weekly contract, Next week contracts, quarterly contracts and perpetual contracts
6, when I successfully transfer my bitcoin recharge to the trading platform, I can sell my bitcoin on the trading platform. On the trading platform, click the "sell bitcoin" option under the trading column
7. Then select the type of order to sell, the quantity of bitcoin to sell, and click the "next order" button to continue
Similarly, the record of selling bitcoin can also be seen in the transaction query under the transaction column9, when the transaction is successful, you can withdraw RMB to your bank card. Under account management on the left side of the page, click "RMB withdrawal", and then fill in according to the required format in the right pane. Finally, click the "withdraw" button
It's not against the law to do bitcoin business, but don't use bitcoin to do illegal things
in China, the regulations on the administration of RMB prohibit the proction and sale of token tickets. 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
the notice of the Ministry of culture and the Ministry of Commerce on strengthening the management of virtual currency of online games (Wen Shi Fa [2009] No. 20) on June 4, 2009 stated that the application scope of virtual currency of online games was defined for the first time, and the distinction between the current virtual currency of online games and the virtual props in the game was made; 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 also began 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
on December 5, 2013, notice of the Ministry of instry and information technology of the people's Bank of China, China Banking Regulatory Commission, China Securities Regulatory Commission and China Insurance Regulatory Commission on preventing bitcoin risk: bitcoin is a specific virtual commodity
as a commodity trading behavior on the Internet, ordinary people have the freedom to participate in bitcoin trading at their own risk

extended information:
currency transaction
purchase method
< P > users can buy bitcoin, and at the same time, they can use computers to "mine" bitcoin according to algorithms. When users "mine" bitcoin, they need to search for 64 bit numbers by computer and then, by repeatedly solving mysteries, compete with other gold miners to provide the required numbers for the bitcoin network. If the user's computer successfully creates a set of numbers, it will get 25 bitcoins
e to the decentralized programming of bitcoin system, only 25 bitcoins can be obtained every 10 minutes, and by 2140, the upper limit of bitcoins in circulation will reach 21 million. In other words, bitcoin system is able to achieve self-sufficiency, resist inflation through coding, and prevent others from destroying these codes
source of reference: network bitcoin
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.
Bitcoin has become the most popular cryptocurrency in the world. Some countries allow the transaction of bitcoin, but some countries prohibit it. China belongs to the latter. Why does China shut down bitcoin trading? Let's analyze this problem today
bitcoin does not have the function of trading medium in China, so it can not be called currency. At the same time, bitcoin has the function of storing value and has certain investment value. However, the rapid rise of the current price has formed speculative anticipation and may form a bubble in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures ahead of time, which can also restrain some illegal acts of laundering money and transferring assets through bitcoin. p>
1. The most convenient way is to sign up at the travel agency authorized by the government. Take the official licensed "coconut Princess" cruise to Paracel Islands. Prices range from 5000 to 10000 yuan (according to class). Haixia travel agency starts from Sanya. The lowest price is more than 4000 yuan for four days and three nights, and the highest price is more than 10000 people. The company is responsible for the ticket sales of the route. There are also travel agencies such as Hainan Kangtai International Travel Service and Hainan Branch of China International Travel Service. They are also qualified to operate Xisha cruise tourism
2. Go by supply ship. Travel time is not fixed, the location of the ship is in Wenchang, the port of Qing Lan, usually on the 28 day of the month, the ship cost is about two thousand, and the supply ship of Sanya, but all need to be examined and certified. The tourists who are traveling to Xisha require 18 or above 60 years of age. They need to fill in a "People's Republic of China Xisha tourism application form", not only including name, ID number, etc. Basic information such as the date of birth, as well as the specific address, the information of the main family members, the name and position of the unit, etc. this application form needs to be sent to the local garrison in Xisha for political examination
3. A group of people who flat share fishing boats go fishing in the name of Paracel Islands, and the cost of charter ships depends on bargaining power. If you are caught in Xisha as soon as you arrive, you will be sent back to Hainan island without a permit.
