China won't let you buy bitcoin

As long as the influence of bitcoin scam is not particularly bad, the government generally adopts the policy that the people do not sue, the officials do not blame, and turn a blind eye to it. Because even if the government enters, it is difficult to find the culprit. The information of some operation teams is not public, and it is difficult to find it on the Internet. Some of them are still abroad, so it is difficult to solve the case. Some of the culprits turn around and become victims. There are also those who participated in the bitcoin pyramid scheme. A large number of victims are also the biggest accomplices< br />

In the notice on prevention of bitcoin risks jointly issued by the people's Bank of China and other fifth ministries and commissions, financial institutions are prohibited to intervene in bitcoin, but at the same time, it holds that "bitcoin is a specific virtual commodity, 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. "

according to the relevant national laws and regulations, buying and selling bitcoin is legal.

according to the statement of the five ministries and commissions, bitcoin is a commodity and is legal

so generally speaking, bitcoin can be traded publicly, but it needs to be traded on the corresponding exchange. However, the trading platform is centralized. There is only one article about the Chinese government's policy on bitcoin. Please refer to the website link

the value of real currency or something with monetary attribute is guaranteed from two aspects: one is the strong state power guarantee and endorsement, the other is the general public use and irreplaceable. Therefore, virtual currency is obviously not real currency<

after the regulatory authorities have made clear their attitude, although bitcoin China, huocoin.com and other "virtual currency" operators have successively taken restrictive measures on the trading platform, the risk of "virtual currency" speculation still deserves high vigilance

in response, the China Internet Finance Association also said in the "tips on preventing the risks of bitcoin and other so-called" virtual currencies ", that bitcoin and other so-called" virtual currencies "lack a clear value basis and are increasingly becoming tools for money laundering, drug trafficking, smuggling, illegal fund-raising and other criminal activities

investors participate in speculation through the "virtual currency" trading platform, and face the risk of price fluctuation, security risk, platform technology risk, etc., which need to be borne by investors themselves
