Therefore, digital currency is not MLM, not capital disk, but a kind of financial investment
in fact, the central bank has been studying digital currency for a long time. From the perspective of historical development trend, money has always evolved with the development of technological progress and economic activities. From the early physical money, commodity money to the later credit money, it is a natural choice to adapt to the development of human commercial society. As the currency of the previous generation, paper money has low technology content. From the perspective of safety and cost, it is the general trend to be replaced by new technology and new procts. In particular, with the development of the Internet and the great changes in payment methods all over the world, the establishment of digital currency issuance and circulation system is very necessary for the construction of financial infrastructure and the promotion of economic quality, efficiency and upgrading

In 2020, the state's view on virtual currencies such as radar currency and bitcoin is to strengthen supervision and guard against derivative risks of virtual currency
in April 2020, the teleconference on the special rectification of Internet Finance and Internet lending risks held in China indicated that we should strengthen the monitoring of new risks in other fields, such as Internet asset management, virtual currency speculation, illegal foreign exchange trading, etc., establish a mechanism for rapid study, determination, disposition and strike, and always maintain a high-pressure situation to prevent recurrence
on May 1, 2020, the amendments to Japan's "capital settlement law" and "financial instruments and transactions law" officially came into effect to strengthen the supervision of users' funds of virtual currency exchanges and prevent fraud, theft and money laundering. Japan's move is representative, which shows that strengthening the supervision of virtual currency has become the consensus of major countries in the world
All governments have been keeping a high degree of vigilance against all kinds of risks that may be derived from the application of virtual currency, and find out the risk base of virtual currency through investigation, research and cooperation, so as to have a definite target in the regulatory actionat present, the regulatory directions of various countries mainly include clarifying the rules of virtual currency payment services, protecting the data security of consumers, regulating illegal financing activities, combating terrorist support, and strengthening the prior and in-process supervision of virtual currency through the promulgation of laws and regulations and regulatory guidelines
in March 2018, the British government set up the virtual currency task force to closely investigate and study the financial crimes, market integrity risks and financial stability risks that may be caused by virtual currency, and timely incorporate them into the regulatory system. In January 2019, Singapore passed the payment services act to regulate Singapore's virtual currency payment system and payment service providers

Japan is also the first country in the world to legislate on virtual currency. Just in April last year, Japan's "change of capital payment law" was formally established. Virtual currency is defined as having the function of currency and can be used for monetary payment. Moreover, some time ago, the tycoons of the domestic currency circle also went to Japan one after another to learn from Japan
Finally, the popularity of virtual currency in Japan is also the intentional guidance of the Japanese government. The emergence of virtual currency gives the Japanese government a new "future". The Japanese government hopes to establish a monetary system independent of the U.S. regulation through virtual currency, so as to revive its so-called great power statushowever, we should also see that Japan's too loose virtual monetary environment has also led to many negative problems. For example, the frequent theft of virtual currency makes the Japanese government have to intervene in the asset security of the virtual currency market. As a result, Japan has strengthened the supervision of virtual currency, and the virtual currency market has become a bit quiet - exchanges such as hotcoin and BIGone have even given up Japanese language services

In terms of nature, bitcoin is a specific virtual commodity, which does not have the same legal status as currency and cannot and should not be used as currency in the market. However, bitcoin trading as a commodity trading behavior on the Internet, ordinary people have the freedom to participate at their own risk

in this currency war, the Japanese army did everything they could, and even used the insidious means of printing counterfeit banknotes. They took great pains to build a "Research Institute of printing counterfeit banknotes" in their own country and made a careful plan
for the convenience of doing business in Shanghai, Osada also married the daughter of Du Yuesheng, the leader of Shanghai youth gang
however, a large number of counterfeit coins, which have just been printed and are still hot, have not yet been transported to China and become waste paper. Seeing the pieces of money that Chinese people take out of their pockets, the Japanese themselves collapse first

In the mid-1930s, in order to end the monetary chaos since the late Qing Dynasty, the Nanjing national government began to carry out monetary reform and proposed to introce a new currency, namely legal currency However, the Nanjing national government had little foreign exchange reserves, so it had to seek a huge loan as a reserve for issuing new currencypounds, dollars or francs are all on the list. In fact, any country that can provide this loan will have a say in the reform of the Chinese currency
Controlling money can control finance, which is equivalent to controlling a country's economy. Therefore, all the powers have their own plans for China's currency reformBritain is the most active, specially sending lizross as the chief economic adviser of the Nanjing National Government, and even the exchange rate between the French currency and the pound has been set: 1 French currency = 1 shilling and 2 pence
for a while, rumors abound, and many people say lizross is the "behind the scenes operator" of the reform of the legal currency
The UK has attached many conditions to the loan:the loan must provide sufficient guarantee
the administration of China Customs by the British General Revenue Department should be retained
the British were employed as advisers to the Central Bank of Nanjing National Government
...
it seems that Britain wants to repeat the terms of humiliation which the Qing government was forced to sign after the Opium War. Naturally, the Chinese will not agree
When Americans look at it, the opportunity comes In March 1936, the United States invited the Nanjing National Government to send a monetary delegation to the United States, and the Nanjing National Government appointed Chen Guangfu, managing director of the Bank of China, as a senior adviser to the Ministry of finance, who led the delegation to visit the United Statesafter more than two months of negotiation, the two sides signed the Sino US Silver agreement
according to the agreement, the United States will purchase 75 million ounces of silver from China at a price of US $0.5/ounce, with a transaction value of US $37.5 million. The United States will also accept a loan of US $20 million guaranteed by China with 50 million ounces of silver. The above two funds are deposited in the Bank of America in New York as an exchange fund to support the reform of the legal currency
After expert identification, it is confirmed that this is the special paper used by "Denghu Research Institute" to print counterfeit banknotes in that year. Later, Meiji University opened the "peace ecation Denghu Institute reference library", which further revealed the crime of Denghu Institute to the worldif the outbound personnel carry foreign currency banknotes of no more than 5000 US dollars (including 5000 US dollars) out of the country, they do not need to apply for the carrying certificate, and the customs will release them; If the amount of foreign currency cash carried by the outbound personnel is between 5000 US dollars and 10000 US dollars (including 10000 US dollars), they shall apply to the designated foreign exchange bank for the carrying certificate, which shall be checked and released by the customs with the seal of the designated foreign exchange bank; In principle, people leaving the country shall not carry foreign currency banknotes of more than 10000 US dollars
the purpose of the restriction is to facilitate the external communication of entry-exit personnel, regulate the entry-exit behavior of carrying foreign currency notes, and crack down on money laundering, currency smuggling and foreign exchange evasion.
