It's illegal
the central bank indicated that it has not issued legal digital currency, nor authorized any institutions and enterprises to issue legal digital currency, and there is no promotion team. At present, the so-called "digital currency" in the market is not legal digital currency

extended information:
virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency, and its original issuer is not the central bank. This kind of virtual currency is mainly limited to circulation in a specific virtual environment. Digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency
in 2013, the central bank, together with five ministries and commissions, issued the notice on prevention of bitcoin risks, which clearly defined non legal digital currencies such as bitcoin as virtual commodities, which do not exist in the form of currency and legal currency
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.
The people's Bank of China has not issued digital currency for the time being, so there is no legal digital currency in China at present. At present, digital currency has not been recognized in China, let alone legal
at present, all kinds of digital currencies circulating in the market are basically on the edge of the law. China maintains a neutral attitude, but does not like speculation, which is also the basic attitude of the central bank{ RRRRR}

digital currency is different from the virtual currency in the virtual world, because it can be used for real goods and services transactions, not limited to online games. The early digital currency (digital gold currency) is a form of electronic currency named after the weight of gold. Today's digital currency, such as bitcoin, lightcoin and ppcoin, is an electronic currency created, issued and circulated by check sum cryptography. It is characterized by the use of P2P peer-to-peer network technology to issue, manage and circulate currency. In theory, it avoids bureaucratic examination and approval, so that everyone has the right to issue currency

digital gold currency is a kind of physical currency, and its deposit is measured in gold rather than legal currency. Therefore, the purchasing power fluctuation of digital gold currency is related to the gold price. If the price of gold goes up, it becomes more valuable. If the price of gold goes down, it loses value. Since there is no specific financial regulation to regulate digital gold money suppliers, they operate in a self regulatory manner. Digital gold money suppliers are not banks, so banking regulations are not applicable. However, the global digital currency Association, founded in 2002, is a non-profit association of online currency operators, convertors, merchants and users. This association supervises the users' reports and ratings the reputation of the convertor. The rating operation is confirmed by the users' reports
absolutely impossible
you can imagine this picture: payday is coming, your cold wallet has received 0.05 bitcoin, according to the bitcoin 60000 US dollars, you have earned 3000 US dollars this month, a total of 20100 RMB! You are very happy, just as you are going to have a big meal to reward yourself, bitcoin suddenly plummeted from $60000 to $50000, and it is still falling!! Your 0.05 bitcoin is still so much, but your income instantly reced to 16250, nearly 4000 yuan evaporated, not only that, but also the amount continued to decline with the naked eye!! At this time, I'm afraid no one would like to invite you to a big meal. Instead, I nervously took out my mobile phone and quickly sold bitcoin! When the transaction is completed and RMB 16000 is paid to your account, you will finally relax...
so why is bitcoin easy to store money and transfer assets? This is determined by its design principle. Professional knowledge is too complex. In short, bitcoin is a code city that can't be broken by hackers. All users involved in bitcoin trading in this city can't trace their real information through any technical means. Therefore, bitcoin has become a pure land of assets that governments can't control. In this city, your private property will always be yours, No one wants to take it away. If you forget your password, it will be miserable, because you don't want to take back your own bitcoin. It will be stored in this city forever. Therefore, the extreme security and secrecy of bitcoin make it easy for private property to completely get rid of the control of sovereign states, so it is reasonable for governments to study regulatory methods, because bitcoin is the most powerful in history, which can fight against the country's enemies economically
