Digital currency avoids trade risk
Yin Zhentao, deputy director of the law and Finance Research Office of the Financial Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that digital currency faces two risks. The first is the technical level. Digital currency relies on blockchain technology and a system, which will make it suffer from security impact, such as hacker attacks on computer systems. We have seen many practical problems in this process
Zhao Zhanzhan, a special researcher of intellectual property research center of China University of political science and law, believes that digital currency has anonymity, quickness and irrevocability. In addition, bitcoin and other digital currencies have high circulation in the world, so many criminals use digital currency as a new money laundering channel. Moreover, there are many different ways to realize money laundering through digital currency. Generally speaking, the probability of new money laundering being found and investigated is lower than before. Many countries have no effective means and technology to combat money laundering through digital currency. These factors lead to criminals prefer this way of money laundering
digital currency is a kind of unregulated and digital currency, which is usually issued and managed by developers and accepted and used by members of specific virtual communities. The European Banking authority defines virtual currency as a digital representation of value, which is not issued by the central bank or authorities, nor linked with legal currency. However, because it is accepted by the public, it can be used as a means of payment, or it can be transferred, stored or traded in electronic form
according to the notice on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, there is no approved digital currency trading platform in China. According to China's digital currency regulatory framework, investors have the freedom to participate in digital currency transactions at their own risk

in the field of blockchain and virtual currency, such cases of losses caused by the security of exchanges occur frequently, causing great economic losses to users. The security experts of Juhui ggfx also gave a hint: there are still many loopholes in the current digital currency trading platform, for example, the most common are the following six kinds:
the first kind: denial of service attack
denial of service attack is the most important attack against the digital currency trading platform at present. Through denial of service attack, the attacker makes the trading platform unable to access normally, Because users can not accurately distinguish the degree of attack, it often causes panic asset transfer, which brings some loss
the second kind: phishing
even the best technical measures at present can not make the digital currency trading platform avoid phishing attacks. Some hackers and outlaws can confuse digital currency investors by means of fake domain names or fake pages, while ordinary investors can't identify the authenticity, so it's easy to cause asset losses
the third: Hot wallet protection
many digital currency trading platforms use a single private key to protect the hot wallet. If hackers can access a single private key, they can crack the hot wallet related to the private key. For example, in the attack on yapizon of Seoul stock exchange in 2017, the attackers stole hot wallets from the trading platform twice in a year, resulting in a total loss of nearly 50% of the assets of the trading platform and eventually leading to the bankruptcy of the trading platform
Fourth: internal attack
e to the lack of perfect risk isolation measures or ineffective supervision on the authority of employees, the digital currency trading platform also has employees' self-monitoring and stealing, and some employees with operating authority of the platform use internal trust to seek ill gotten gains for themselves. For example, in 2016, the event of employees stealing bitcoin on shapeshift caused a total loss of US $230000 to the trading platform by stealing and reselling sensitive information to others
the fifth: software vulnerability
the software vulnerability of digital currency trading platform includes single sign on vulnerability, OAuth protocol vulnerability, etc. At present, all countries have laws requiring banks or other financial institutions to implement information security measures to protect customers' deposits. However, e to the fact that the blockchain field is still in its infancy, there is a lack of such specifications for encrypting digital assets. Therefore, it is not accidental that many trading platforms have a large number of loopholes in the absence of security constraints
sixth: transaction malleability
Technical supporters of blockchain often think that blockchain transactions are highly secure because they are recorded on records that are said to be unchangeable, but each transaction needs to have a corresponding signature, and the records can be temporarily forged before the final confirmation of the transaction. Mt. GOx, which once accounted for 80% of the world's total transactions, was hacked to submit code changes to the public ledger before the initial transaction was released, resulting in a loss of 473 million US dollars< br /> &# 160;
before preparing for admission, do your homework first, and try to choose a well-known currency. Take a look at the market of the currency from its issuance to the present. If the market fluctuates greatly, it is not recommended to choose it
in addition, if the currency has been rising, it is recommended to operate cautiously, because there will be a big drop after a big rise
in the currency market, everyone wants to get rich overnight and give himself the opportunity to get rich freely. Therefore, all kinds of blockchain projects have sprung up like mushrooms. A white paper and a famous big man platform can simply issue a digital currency and introce the project to the public. It sounds like it can really make money. But after enough money in the circle, the project side will choose to run. In the coin circle, broken projects are very common
when you look at a project, don't just listen to the words of the project party. Just like sales, they will only show the good side of the proct, and consumers need to identify what they want. Although the boss of the platform can add points to the projects, Li Xiaolai himself has said that most of the projects on his platform are not optimistic. Therefore, the most important thing is to study the white paper and look at it with a critical eye. If the project has no landing scene, like a castle in the air, then do not choose to invest
in fact, digital currency trading is not as terrible as expected, and the currency circle is not full of traps, just like in all walks of life, there are borers in every line, but it does not affect the proction of benchmarking. What we need to do is to keep a cool head and carefully analyze the advantages and disadvantages. The most important thing is not to be too greedy. Enough is the survival rule of the coin circle.
First of all, I want to make it clear that currency speculation, like stock speculation and futures speculation, is speculative. Moreover, currency speculation involves more uncontrollable factors. For example, exchange fraud, hacker attacks and so on, it is impossible to completely avoid risks. However, we can rece the risk of investment by hedging. Specific hedging concepts and methods, you can go to their own search, I'll talk about a general core. The core of currency speculation hedging is the use of leverage and hedging. For example, you can use the leverage services provided by some exchange platforms to do more than one currency. As long as the currency price does not fall below the balance line, you can use 10 times of leverage to operate. On the other hand, you need to find another currency that may have the opposite situation after the rise or fall of your currency, or you can directly do some blank in another exchange, This will rece the risk
