P2P virtual currency scam
virtual currency fraud calls 110 directly
many departments, such as the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, the central office of information technology, the Ministry of public security and so on, issued risk tips, saying that some criminals, under the banner of "financial innovation" and "blockchain", absorbed funds by issuing the so-called "virtual currency", "virtual assets" and "digital assets", thus infringing the legitimate rights and interests of the public
this kind of activity is not really based on blockchain technology, but on the hype of blockchain concept, illegal fund-raising, pyramid selling and fraud. In essence, it is a Ponzi scheme of "repaying the old by borrowing the new", which is difficult to maintain the long-term operation of funds
the public should treat the blockchain rationally, not blindly believe the promises, establish a correct monetary concept and investment concept, and effectively improve the risk awareness. Report to the public security organ in time after being cheated
extended data:
the first is the obvious networking and cross-border of virtual currency. Relying on the Internet and chat tools for transactions, and using online payment tools to balance funds, the risks spread widely and spread quickly. Some lawless elements set up websites by renting overseas servers to carry out activities for domestic residents and control illegal activities remotely
some indivials claim that they have obtained the investment quota of overseas high-quality blockchain projects in the chat tool group and can invest on their behalf, which is most likely fraud. Most of these illegal funds flow overseas, which makes it very difficult to supervise and trace
followed by deception, temptation and concealment. They use hot concepts to hype, fabricate various "tall and tall" theories, and some also use celebrity "big V" platforms to publicize. They use airdrop "candy" as temptation to claim that "currency value only rises but not falls", "investment cycle is short, income is high, and risk is low", which has strong bewitching
in practice, criminals illegally make huge profits by manipulating the price trend of the so-called virtual currency, setting profit and withdrawal threshold. In addition, some criminals also issue tokens under the guise of ICO, IFO, IEO, etc., or hype virtual currency in the way of IMO under the banner of sharing economy, which has strong concealment and confusion
finally, there are many kinds of illegal risks in this kind of behavior. Through public publicity, the illegal elements attract the public to invest funds, lure investors and development personnel to join, and constantly expand the fund pool with the t of currency appreciation and development offline profits, which has the characteristics of illegal fund-raising, pyramid selling, fraud and other illegal acts
bitcoin is just a game. If it is promoted as a tool to get rich, it can be regarded as a fraud. Just like the currency in other online games, the only difference is that bitcoin has been standardized since the game was first formulated. It can't be issued indiscriminately, so it can keep its value better than other virtual game props. It is equivalent to the online collection. Bitcoin is a prop in the game, and its value is reflected in the recognition of bitcoin by players: more people play, the value of props in the game is higher; The risk is that he is not the only game, and his algorithm is not the only one. Maybe someone will be able to make other special coins soon. All you need to do is promote the game and sell your props. As for money, bitcoin does not have the basic attributes of money, such as unfair initial distribution and insecure circulation. Money needs to be maintained by the state machine
the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's ideas, the open source software and the P2P network on it were designed and released. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system. Unlike most currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions to issue. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of money circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction
1. Bitcoin (bitcoin) is a kind of network virtual currency, which can buy real-life goods. It is characterized by decentralization, anonymity, and can only be used in the digital world. It does not belong to any country or financial institution, and is not subject to geographical restrictions. It can be exchanged anywhere in the world. Therefore, it is used as a money laundering tool by some criminals

The current blockchain procts can be defined as Ponzi scheme except bitcoin. The concept of blockchain was born in 2008, but it was after the growing market value of bitcoin that it was recognized by the public and became popular in China. Bitcoin gained its market value only eight years ago after a foreign programmer spent 10000 bitcoins to buy two pizzas. After eight years of long value-added period, the 10000 bitcoins, which once had a market value of only $40, now have a peak value of nearly $200 million
technology is a liar without capital, and the platform built by blockchain without transaction record is a great liar
blockchain builds a fair trust platform with the method of [all bookkeeping] (generally speaking, I called XXX to borrow my 100, and everyone wrote it down, so the transaction can be completed without middleman, and the completion process depends on the records of the whole platform), but the transaction currency does not generate value out of thin air, but accumulates its value little by little in each transaction, In the end, it became money. The endorsement of its value is caused by countless transactions
then other blockchains have three major problems: 1. The maturity of Technology (there is no recognized algorithm now) 2. How can you guarantee the appreciation of these currencies? 3. How to ensure that others don't yell for transactions? The method of blockchain is to increase the difficulty of yelling out (for example, if no one gives me money, I also yell for money, and you can write it down in a small notebook). The method of blockchain is to remember that a small notebook needs to be upside down and write with a pen in its mouth...), so the problem of mining out of thin air may be caused by the technologist
therefore, blockchain is basically a Ponzi scheme except for accumulating a lot of bitcoin in the transaction process. What you're involved in is that the platform will use their virtual currency to trade a lot in the future , whether the monetary value of blockchain output is high or not is e to its trading volume as an intermediate currency, is no different from stock speculation - but stock speculation is actually a Ponzi scheme
the funniest thing is, Blockchain has been calling for decentralization, but if you want to make money to make the circle, the more you have to rely on the endorsement of the big platform to ensure the circulation of money, the more you want to be decentralized, the more you need to help the central GZ government legislate - the funniest thing in life is this, just like VR was riding on pockmango, an AR proct in the first year
Ponzi scheme is a kind of fraulent investment operation. It uses investors' own money to pay investors in return, or new investors' money to pay old investors, rather than the company's own money. When there are not enough new investors to join, the Ponzi scheme will collapse, and the final investors will suffer
bitcoin is a free software project without a central management organization, so no one can make a false statement about the return on investment. Just like other major currencies, such as gold, US dollar, euro, Japanese yen, etc., bitcoin can not guarantee purchasing power and the exchange rate is free floating. The resulting volatility makes it impossible for bitcoin holders to predict profits or losses. The fact is that bitcoin is being used by thousands of users and businesses because of its useful and competitive features.

The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to 21 million
bitcoin can be cashed and converted into the currency of most countries. Users can use bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats and equipment in online games. As long as someone accepts it, they can also use bitcoin to buy real-life items[ 1-2]
