3. It's hard to say that digital currency exists legally in China and is a kind of virtual property, which is protected by law in China. In the bitcoin risk notice issued by the central bank at the end of 2013, bitcoin was clearly defined as a special Internet commodity. People can buy and sell bitcoin freely at their own risk
however, there is still a lack of supervision on digital currency in China, which is legal as long as we do not engage in illegal activities. For example, bitcoin, lightcoin, token DTC, ether coin and so on.

5. Hello, according to the relevant regulations of our country, digital currency is not recognized in our country and is illegal.

6. There is no digital currency issue

7. The factors related to the degree of non-governmental recognition and international recognition can't just be controlled. It's the same in foreign countries, just depending on its status

8. From the price rise of bitcoin, we can see that in recent years, China has stepped up efforts to crack down on corruption, various measures of bank supervision have been strengthened, and underground banks have also been subject to strict supervision and control. Many illegal capital outflow channels in China are seriously blocked, making money laundering more difficult. The trend of bitcoin provides a simple way to transfer assets. In fact, it's time for the state to supervise the shearing of China's social wealth by foreign countries, coupled with numerous crazy scams, which lead to numerous Chinese people being deceived. In the long run, without the credit of the country, any speculation is illusory. Now bitcoin has only speculative value.
