market formation

the Internet has led to the emergence of a new market, which is a virtual market based on cyberspace. The Internet provides a lot of communication places for consumers, and also provides business market for enterprises. Enterprises must change from proct centered to service centered to customer centered. With the development of computer artificial intelligence technology and database technology, enterprises can conveniently collect customers' information, understand customers' needs in time, change business strategies and grasp economic arteries in real time

With the rapid development of computer and network communication technology, the application of Internet technology has graally penetrated into various fields of human activities, and the unlimited business opportunities that it contains make businesses turn their eyes to e-commerce. E-commerce is penetrating into all aspects of social and economic life at a speed that people can hardly imagine

the traditional finance is also closely watching this irresistible trend of global economic integration and networking. As a result, value-added services take art as the selling point and can be regarded as commodities; The sword in the game is not a brand-new financial services business philosophy - e-finance came into being

from the historical development process, to understand e-finance, we must start from the electronic finance and e-commerce. The so-called e-financialization means that financial enterprises adopt modern communication, computer, network and other information technology means in addition to Internet technology to improve the work efficiency of traditional financial service business, rece operating costs, realize the automation of financial business processing, informatization of financial enterprise management and scientific decision-making, and provide customers with faster and more convenient services, And then enhance the financial enterprise is the behavior of market competitive advantage

e-finance is a transcendence of financial electronization. Different from the electronic finance, the main technical basis of e-finance operation is the increasingly perfect Internet technology.

2. Lightcoin is legal in China, but if you use lightcoin for illegal activities, it is illegal

bitcoin, lightcoin and other virtual cryptocurrencies are defined by the central bank as a kind of special Internet goods in China. Citizens can buy and sell freely at their own risk, which denies their monetary attribute. Central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan once said that bitcoin is more like a tradable asset, similar to stamps. Since it's a commodity or asset, it's legal. Citizens' property is sacred and inviolable. Bitcoin house also published the full text of the joint notice on bitcoin risk issued by the central bank and other five ministries and commissions in 2013. You can see it from the emotional point of view

most of the major countries in the world also adopt a cold attitude towards bitcoin, because bitcoin may be used for money laundering, drug trading and other illegal activities.

3.

although bitcoin still has great risks, after years of development, with the increase of its application population, application scenarios and application technology, no country or organization can completely eliminate it. If you can figure it out, it is likely that countries will generally accept bitcoin and embrace it

according to my personal judgment, bitcoin, after a period of continuous development, is likely to become a world currency in the future, which can play the role of electronic gold and become the target of the value of other sovereign currencies. From this perspective, bitcoin can be used as a means of asset preservation in the future when inflation is inevitable

4. Lightcoin itself is not a fraud, but there are a lot of people under the guise of lightcoin to carry out pyramid schemes. At present, lightcoin is second only to bitcoin in popularity and recognition, and has higher recognition in China. In addition to Wright coin, there are Ruitai coin, vitality coin, dog coin, ether coin and other excellent currencies.

5. To tell you the truth, these so-called diseases and diseases are illegal, but the country may not have built pipelines so far. But whether the market will rise or fall, no one dares to promise you.

6. The state does not prohibit the purchase and use of virtual currency, so real name authentication does not matter
however, if these virtual coins are used illegally, they may bring serious consequences to themselves.

7. It's illegal. It's not recognized by the state at present.

8. All virtual currencies are not illegal except domestic MLM currencies. However, the state has relevant legal provisions on virtual currency

9.

At present, it is not officially recognized in China, and the specific legal documents have not been issued

The English name of kitcoin is kitcoin, which belongs to the third generation cryptocurrency in architecture, and combines the concepts of original mode, profitability, security and payment. KTC is essentially bitcoin, a virtual currency

according to the regulations on the administration of RMB, the proction and sale of token tickets are prohibited. Because there is no clear judicial interpretation of the definition of token ticket, if bitcoin is included in the "token ticket", the legal prospect of bitcoin in China will face uncertainty

the notice of the Ministry of culture and the Ministry of Commerce on strengthening the management of virtual currency of online games (Wen Shi Fa [2009] No. 20) on June 4, 2009 stated that the application scope of virtual currency of online games was defined for the first time, and the distinction between the current virtual currency of online games and the virtual props in the game was made; At the same time, the notice said that the "notice" stipulates that enterprises engaged in related services must be approved before they can operate

in 2013, the central bank issued the notice on prevention of bitcoin risk, and then it came out that the central bank interviewed more than 10 persons in charge of third-party payment companies, explicitly requiring them not to provide payment and clearing services to bitcoin, lightcoin and other trading websites. The price of bitcoin in China has dropped all the way from about 7000 yuan to 3300 yuan. More analysis said that bitcoin will withdraw from China

this is a kind of investment, and the risk is great, even in our country is not recognized by the state, so we need to be more cautious
