Article 13 if the people's Bank of China discovers that a financial institution opens an account, handles settlement and provides loans for an illegal financial institution or illegal financial business activities, it shall order the financial institution to stop the relevant business activities immediately. No unit or indivial may use the relevant funds without authorizationChinese Mahjong: the world's earliest blockchain project
first of all, a initiates an application. I want to play mahjong and set up a mahjong Bureau, which is equivalent to creating a block, and this block will be broadcast to B, C, D, a, B, C, C, C, C, C, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D D...
in the process of playing mahjong, the above four people constantly play cards, which can be understood as mining, through what to mine? Mahjong machine can understand the mineralization machine. These four miners are the so-called miners. These four miners collide from 144 mahjong, and any right card can be Hu card. We can understand the 144 mahjong as a series of hash values (numbers). The process of Hu card is called computational power. Until Hu card, it means that the right hash value is collided and you can get a reward, Each person will pay the corresponding chips to C and put them in the blockchain. The reward is bitcoin or other virtual coins
Why do the other three people take the initiative to reward C? That's because these people have automatically reached a consensus that C has indeed won, and everyone has recorded the account, including the family members who are sitting next to buy horses. It's not good to deny it, otherwise when it comes out that the character is not good, no one will play with him again. After all, the circle is very important
when we reached a consensus, we didn't see any intermediary or third party judging that C had won, and the rewards given to C didn't need to be transferred to C through the third party. All of them were direct point-to-point transactions. This process was decentralization. The card players (miners) recorded their own achievements in the first game, and the third team won the first game, After the record is completed, a complete block is generated. But remember, this is only the first round. In the whole blockchain, this is just a node. The first eight rounds are finished, that is, eight nodes (blocks). Eight blocks are connected together to form a complete account book, which is the blockchain. Because everyone has one account book, it is a distributed account book. The purpose is to prevent someone from tampering with records. In the end, it is clear who wins or loses.
Blockchain itself is not illegal, but if it is used illegally, it is illegal
Li Bin, deputy director of Chongqing big data application and development administration, said that as a disruptive innovative frontier technology in the field of big data intelligence, the Chongqing municipal government attaches great importance to active layout, and the municipal government and Yuzhong District Government jointly build a blockchain base. In the second half of last year, the government issued the opinions on accelerating the cultivation and innovative application of blockchain instry, It has officially launched the construction of a place for strategic innovation of blockchain
while actively encouraging the technological progress and instrial development of blockchain, we will resolutely prohibit the illegal use of blockchain technology in accordance with the requirements of relevant national policies
at present, China's blockchain technology and application continue to innovate, and are graally applied in supply chain finance, credit reference, proct traceability and other fields, with huge development space. As a new technology, if blockchain wants to realize large-scale practical application, it must strengthen the cooperation of instry, University, research and application, and promote the continuous development and maturity of technology and application
since 2017, the development of blockchain technology has aroused the deep concern of the government, enterprises and other sectors. Because of its decentralized, tamperable and traceable characteristics, blockchain attracts investors to add weight to this new technology field. For the previous hot speculation of blockchain technology, the cognition of it and investment circles has become increasingly rational

on April 9, 2017, Hangzhou municipal government and a company jointly set up a $10 billion xiongan global blockchain innovation fund, which can promote the development of blockchain projects. This initiative has also attracted the attention of many relevant financial people. At present, Hangzhou blockchain Instrial Park is one of the important initiatives funded and developed by the municipal government, I believe this case has also become one of the representative cases in China. Since then, more and more blockchains have developed all over the country<
at present, China has a new understanding of digital currency, analyzing the value of digital currency in essence, and relevant departments are also actively participating in the corresponding research. The central bank has set up a special research group and digital currency Research Institute, hoping to further explore the digitalization of sovereign currency. From the side, it can be seen that China has a positive attitude towards blockchain technology, and the Chinese government has repeatedly stressed the important role of blockchain technology in reshaping the global financial pattern
with the development of global economy, the Chinese government has realized the commercial development of domestic blockchain projects. From the blockchain projects invested by Hangzhou municipal government, it can be seen that more and more provinces will start to carry out blockchain projects in the future, which can promote the development of local economy
is blockchain legal in China? At present, the Chinese government is actively studying blockchain, and has carried out blockchain related projects in some provinces. Through the above introction, I believe that people should have a certain understanding of the blockchain. I believe that in the near future, there will be more and more blockchain projects, which can promote the development of domestic economy and enable more and more people to get more wealth from blockchain projects.
the current blockchain project compliance is divided into two sections:
first, blockchain coin issuing project compliance: Foundation + legal compliance opinion
often referred to as ICO, IEO, etc. first of all, we build overseas entities. Generally speaking, most coin issuing entities choose Singapore foundation. It is a non-profit company in the form of XX Foundation Ltd. Finally, a legal compliance opinion is issued by a Singapore lawyer. The content of the legal opinion includes the amendment of a white paper and the token non securitization certificate, which is mainly to make the project comply with the laws of Singapore. This legal opinion is also needed for the later docking of the project with the currency on the exchange< Second, blockchain exchange project compliance: subject company + digital currency trading license:
license is one of the important compliance documents of the platform. It is equivalent to a business license. In particular, after Huoyuan won the Japanese license, the US license and applied for the Canadian license, the license was pushed to a new height. Obtaining the US MSB license also means that the company can reasonably conct business in most states of the United States. This is the reason why the major platforms have started to apply for licenses. If they want to carry out business formally and legally, they have to apply for licenses
for example: MSB digital currency exchange license in the United States, MTR digital currency + Wallet al license in Estonia, austrac digital currency license in Australia, etc
the role of MSB license in the United States:
1. American MSB license is famous, packaging platform and good publicity
2
3. It can increase the trust of customers, enhance their visibility, and make the platform develop better and faster in compliance
advantages of MSB license
1. Investor recognition - Corporate Law and financial instry regulation in the United States are very perfect. With a U.S. license, your digital currency trading platform will be more recognized by global investors
2. Get authoritative approval - with the authoritative approval of the U.S. Treasury Department, you can carry out relevant business in the United States and around the world, which represents the compliance supervision of digital currency platform
3. Become a first-line platform -- MSB license is also a standard license for global digital currency trading institutions. Coinbase, bitfinex, poloiex, hotcoin.com, OK, coin security exchange and other platforms all hold this license to operate
4. Diversified services - MSB license allows currency exchange and delivery services, so that you can better meet customer needs and provide more diversified services
why is the license so important for the trading platform? First of all, people in the traditional foreign exchange circle know that the foreign exchange platform has the importance of supervising the license. Even such a traditional mode will create a future trading platform. Therefore, the license plate is bound to become a trend of development
the application of blockchain technology itself is not illegal. At present, ant financial services, Tencent and network all have blockchain technology support
