Seven ministries and commissions rectify virtual currency
on September 4, 2017, the people's Bank of China and other seven ministries and commissions issued the "notice on preventing the financing risk of token issuance", which cleaned up the ICO and virtual currency trading venues. The scale of domestic virtual currency transactions decreased significantly, effectively avoiding the impact of virtual currency prices on China's financial market.
There are two reasons for the prohibition of virtual currency trading by the state:
1. The price fluctuates violently and the consumer protection is lacking:
virtual currency is the proct of network, and the digital information flowing in the network is beyond everyone's control. The code of cyberspace is the basis of the operation of virtual currency, investors can only operate through the front-end interface, seemingly "control" the virtual currency. The operator of the virtual currency service organization may become the actual controller of the virtual currency through the control code
bitcoin and other so-called "virtual currencies" lack a clear value basis, the market is full of speculative atmosphere, the price fluctuates violently, and investors blindly follow suit, which is easy to cause capital losses
2. Evade supervision and become the "accomplice" of criminal activities:
bitcoin is popular as a payment tool in the so-called "dark web" world“ The "dark net" is full of all kinds of serious criminal activities. One of the original intentions of the invention of bitcoin is to evade regulation. It has the characteristics of anonymity and convenient cross-border flow, and has become the preferred tool of "underground economy"
the existence of bitcoin and exchanges and other instrial chains has constructed a illegal financial market for asset transfer and financing in addition to legal currency, increased the difficulty of regulatory authorities in managing financial security and stability, and promoted regulatory arbitrage and financial crimes. The risks and social security risks it brings to the financial market are far higher than its innovative value
extended information
virtual currency transactions are not protected by law:
according to the notice on preventing bitcoin risks issued by the people's Bank of China and other departments on December 3, 2013 and the announcement on preventing financing risks of token issuance issued by seven ministries and commissions including the people's Bank of China on September 4, 2017, virtual currency is not issued by monetary authorities, It is not a real currency because it does not have the monetary attributes of legal compensation and compulsion
in terms of nature, virtual currency should be a specific virtual commodity, which does not have the same legal status as currency, and can not and should not be used as currency in the market. Although citizens' investment and trading in other virtual currencies are personal freedom, they can not be protected by law
Following the seven departments' call to stop the financing of token (ICO), under the high pressure of supervision, a number of virtual currency trading platforms, including bitcoin China, huocoin.com and okcoin.com, have successively shut down all business of the platform or RMB trading business since the 14th. What are the risks of virtual currency transaction? Why do regulatory authorities take action to rectify? What's the future of the "money speculators" who used to be crazy about it
according to instry insiders, with the increasingly clear regulatory attitude towards the virtual currency trading platform, the relevant local departments have begun to clean up and rectify the work, and some trading platforms are according to regulatory requirements, orderly stop trading business within a certain period of time, and graally guide users to withdraw their money
the reporter observed in a number of "bitcoin investment exchange groups" that with the closing of trading platforms one after another, the price of bitcoin dropped sharply, and many investors called "losing money badly". In response to the promise made by the three trading platforms that "the withdrawal of money and cash will not be affected", on the afternoon of the 16th, the reporter tried to contact the customer service of the three trading platforms by telephone, but failed to get through e to "too many consulting customers" or busy lines
the reporter learned that with the increase of the price difference of virtual currency in the domestic and foreign trading markets, in order to avoid risks and preserve value, some investors have returned the virtual currency on the domestic trading platform to the personal bitcoin wallet and switched to the overseas market and OTC trading
Wang Yongli, vice chairman of China International Futures Co., Ltd., suggested strengthening international communication and coordination, establishing international unified regulatory rules as soon as possible, and avoiding regulatory loopholes and cross-border arbitrage
Recently, it has been rumored that central bank officials from Shanghai and Beijing have begun to investigate virtual currency trading venues, and it is likely that the ban on virtual currency trading will be lifted. After the reporter to a special rectification of Internet financial risk staff verification, the relevant reports and facts do not match
instry insiders suggest that the majority of consumers and investors should enhance their awareness of risk prevention. If they find that they are involved in illegal financial activities in the notice, they can report to the relevant regulatory authorities or China Internet Finance Association. If they are suspected of crimes, they can report to the public security organ
no matter which country's currency is, it is not just a piece of paper. Behind it is the corresponding gold or silver or crude oil, which can only be issued with us dollars as the corresponding hard currency reserve,
otherwise, anyone can print money, And it can be printed infinitely, but once it is linked with gold, silver and other hard currencies, it can't be printed casually. Once it is printed casually, it will rece the purchasing power of domestic currency.
to sum up, bitcoin, which is purely used to cut leeks, must not participate in the game, and it will die miserably Because it doesn't have any hard currency or corporate endorsement,)
because it can declare bankruptcy and collapse at any time, or plummet to a point you can't imagine, which can make you lose a lot at once.
China wants... But dare not take it is the key point...
in fact, the law on the surface is for people like you...
in private, it is not that China wants Google to hand over the authority of the network control platform
if you say other platform companies will hand over ~ ~ ~ after all, their focus is not on search engines
but Google is using this as a sign... Do you think he will hand it in
besides ~ ~ ~ Google has lost its big market in China
but the main projects of their company must not be sold in China
do you understand
it's a pity to lose, as business people often say
but not in China
does not mean that it will go bankrupt
the advantage of Internet companies is
they earned it
money from all over the world
not one country, two countries
in any case, the popularity and level of Internet use in China is not high ~ ~ ~ so Google is not in a hurry to call in now
compared with Google's link system, it is indeed world-class! All commercial, instrial, agricultural and political information are available< However, back to the premise, I give you this system
how much you can use it is also a question
so at present... The loss to the Chinese people is not big
it's equivalent to giving you a searcher that can watch the world.
at last, you tell people that the newspaper is good ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
