The state controls the consumption of digital currency
digital currencies such as bitcoin, Ruitai coin, Laite coin and doggy coin were all the rage in China. Now it's becoming more rational.

Ruitai, Qianjin card, Laite and other digital currencies are all applicable to the definition of bitcoin. Digital currency can exist as a commodity.
