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

In the 2013 bitcoin risk notice, the central bank and other five ministries and commissions clearly defined bitcoin as a special Internet commodity. People can buy and sell it freely at their own risk. Financial institutions do not have to provide bitcoin related services, denying its monetary attribute.

Alipay and WeChat: once found and resolutely retreated,
has repeatedly banned payment agencies to provide virtual
services. In fact, the central bank and its branches have repeatedly requested payment agencies not to provide services for virtual currency transactions.

virtual currency is still very deep for us issued a statement about the virtual currency directly on the hot search of Alipay. But for this virtual currency, everyone has different views. However, it is more appropriate to ban virtual transactions from the public's point of view, because most people rarely touch virtual currency
