1. Germany
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
in Europe, the European Central Bank published a report on "virtual currency architecture", and the French bitcoin trading platform obtained the PSP qualification. On December 6, 2012, the central bank wrote in the report: "this report is the first attempt to provide a basis for discussing the virtual currency system. 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.

2. Bitcoin, as a form of currency independent of governments, has the possibility of disturbing the normal financial order, which makes governments fight against bitcoin. For China, which pays more attention to the central authority and financial security, it will strengthen the ban on bitcoin. In other words, even if bitcoin can survive, the possible place is not China, because we have always adopted a more cautious and safe attitude towards the supervision of similar financial procts.
3. Bitcoin can be regulated
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.

the regulation of bitcoin is likely to become a new topic of the G20 summit this year. Lemer has repeatedly said that he will propose to discuss the issue of bitcoin at the G20 summit. As for speculative risk, member countries need to discuss the regulation of bitcoin management together. US Treasury Secretary mu nuqin also said recently that he will work with the G20 to prevent cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin from becoming the digital equivalent of anonymous Swiss bank accounts
Experts suggest that the G20 and some international financial institutions should speed up the formulation of relevant principles and guidelines to provide cases and follow-up for countries to establish coordinated regulatory policies. At the same time, we should achieve global coordination in supervision to jointly crack down on illegal cryptocurrency transactions and crimes6.

7. If it's through a large online trading website such as Taobao and eBay, go to complain, and complain on the website. All the stores open on this online trading platform have identity authentication, and they will generally fight to the end. If it's a personal website, it's self admission of bad luck... Don't believe it in the future... It seems that there are complaints about online fraud on the Internet. Find... Lord, bless you

In fact, there is one more detail that we need to pay attention to, that is, the price of bitcoin has been directly reced from US $60000 to US $52000, and countries have directly indicated that they will strengthen supervision. Before that, you should know that the price of bitcoin soared from more than 10000 US dollars to 60000 US dollars. It's boring. Why didn't the regulators of various countries directly intervene in such a long period of time? So today we will discuss the factors that affect the fluctuation of bitcoin{ Third, the confidence of consumers or investors
in the past few months, bitcoin's long-term success is that the manual has brought her a high degree of popularity, and at the same time, its price has gone up by leaps and bounds. But everyone is tired. After seeing some information about bitcoin for a long time, we are not very interested. The visual impact of tens of thousands of dollars has lost any freshness.
