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. Due to the characteristics of global connectivity, openness, quickness and low marginal cost of Internet technology, e-finance strengthens the restructuring and innovation of financial services business based on Internet technology, so that customers are free from the restrictions of business hours and places, and enjoy all kinds of high-quality and low-cost services provided by financial enterprises anytime and anywhere

with the development of Internet, the form of money is becoming more virtual, and there is an electronic money that only exists in the form of electronic signal

According to the news on February 10, 2018, on September 4, 2017, seven ministries and commissions of the people's Republic of China issued the notice on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, which regulates the issuance of tokens. In the notice, the nature of all kinds of tokens and "virtual currency" is clearly defined: it is not issued by the monetary authority, and it has no monetary attributes such as legal compensation and mandatory, It does not have the same legal status as currency and cannot and should not be used as currency in the market. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that all kinds of "virtual currency" still have a certain property value and are part of the property of the holder. So, how to identify the nature of the theft of such tokens

In order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of "virtual token" holders, the author intends to discuss such issues through a relevant news report and relevant cases

stealing bitcoin

recently, a news report said that Haidian police in Beijing cracked a case of destroying computer information system. The suspect Zhong used his administrator's authority to modify the company's computer applications and steal 100 bitcoins. Before he could sell the stolen money, Zhong was arrested by the police. At present, Zhong was detained for the crime of destroying computer information system

it can be seen from the report that the police detained the perpetrator for stealing bitcoin on suspicion of damaging the computer information system. The crime of destroying the computer information system stipulated in Article 286 of the criminal law of our country refers to the act of deleting, modifying, adding or interfering with the functions of the computer information system in violation of the provisions of the state, resulting in the abnormal operation of the computer information system and serious consequences, or deleting, modifying or interfering with the data and application programs stored, processed or transmitted in the computer information system Modifying or adding operations with serious consequences, or deliberately making or spreading destructive programs such as computer viruses, which affect the normal operation of the computer system with serious consequences

In the author's opinion, this crime is one of the crimes of impairing social management order in Chapter 6 of the criminal law, that is, the legal interest protected by this crime is actually the public order of our society, not the property interests of the digital currency holders, which in fact denies the property value of digital currency, It is only protected as a data or system function in a computer system. The author thinks that there is some irrationality in this way

first of all, in the notice on the prevention of bitcoin risk issued in 2013, it is mentioned that bitcoin is not a real currency because it is not issued by the monetary authority and does not have such monetary attributes as legal compensation and compulsion. Bitcoin has four main characteristics: no centralized issuers, limited amount, no geographical restrictions and anonymity. Because it belongs to a specific virtual commodity in nature The notice also clearly mentioned that bitcoin does not have the same legal status as currency and should not be used as currency in the market. However, as a virtual commodity, the property value behind bitcoin cannot be ignored

Secondly, Article 127 of the general provisions of the civil law, which came into effect on October 1 last year, stipulates that if the law has provisions on the protection of data and network virtual property, such provisions shall prevail. Although only the protection of the network virtual property has made the principle provisions, but it can not be denied that this shows our country's attitude towards the protection of the network virtual property. Although there is no special law for the protection of data and network virtual property in China, from the perspective of the general provisions of civil law, it is predicted that there will be relevant legislation in the future

finally, from the relevant cases, we can also see the recognition of the property attribute of virtual currency such as bitcoin in China's judicial practice. In April and may 2013, Liu premeditated to set up a bitcoin trading platform, so he recruited Jin and Huang (both sentenced) to jointly set up a "bitcoin" trading platform. During this period, Liu, Huang, Jin, Jin and the defendant he, in addition to other acts of directly stealing customers' funds, also frequently cashed RMB by selling customers' bitcoins, and transferred 120 bitcoins from the website. Finally, the court convicted and punished the defendant for fraud, and the bitcoin transferred by the defendant was also included in the property loss of the victim. Therefore, from the judicial cases, we can also get the recognition of the property attributes of virtual currency such as bitcoin

based on the above reasons, the author thinks that it may be unreasonable to regulate the theft of virtual currency only as the crime of damaging computer information system. We should face up to the hidden property value and consider the application of the crime of infringing property in China's criminal law. Only in this way can we effectively protect the legitimate rights and property of digital currency holders in China

3. It must be a crime, and the virtual currency is also protected by the law, which is written by the property law. Thank you

4. Virtual currency, represented by bitcoin, is legal in China. It is defined as a special Internet commodity. People can buy and sell it freely at their own risk. But it is illegal to carry out pyramid schemes under the guise of bitcoin. Now to create a virtual currency trading platform, we must record the website and implement real name authentication for users. Bitcoin is legal in most countries around the world, except that some small countries explicitly ban it

since 203, the more popular virtual currencies are bitcoin, Wright coin, Fuyuan coin, doggy coin, dark coin, reborn coin and so on.

5. It's illegal to steal bitcoin. The public security bureau can arrest you. There are also many cases of fraud using bitcoin. In China, the central bank defines bitcoin as a special Internet commodity, which denies its monetary attribute, but people can buy and sell it freely at their own risk. Zhou Xiaochuan, the governor of the central bank, said that bitcoin is a tradable asset, just like stamps. Now, do you think it's illegal to steal bitcoin?

6. First, virtual currency, such as bitcoin, or some game and network currencies, such as QB and some game gold coins, are all personal legal property. As long as an indivial legally obtains them, they will be protected
Second, transactions prohibited by the state, especially speculation and trading of the virtual currency are prohibited in China. However, banning trading does not mean that the virtual coin itself is illegal or worthless
for example, bitcoin, which China refuses to recognize as any regional chain block currency, also forbids trading and services, does not mean that bitcoin itself has no value. In the international trading system, bitcoin is recognized in some regions, And there is a corresponding value scale
when someone steals bitcoin or swindles bitcoin, the state will still treat it as theft or fraud, and the amount needs to be approved< At present, the transaction and pricing of virtual currency are prohibited in China, but the value and holding of virtual currency itself are not prohibited. As long as the currency is not defined as illegal, it is legal.
similarly, game currency is also recognized as legal property, but its transaction is prohibited by the state, which does not affect the corresponding legal liability caused by the infringement of virtual currency

7. According to the criminal law of our country, stealing public and private property secretly for the purpose of illegal possession constitutes larceny. Although the form of stealing virtual money or virtual property is different from stealing traditional public and private property, virtual money or property is intangible, but it exists in a special online game environment. It really exists and has the value and circulation characteristics of traditional property. It has the basic property of property, and also has "use value" and "value", It can be regarded as a special conversion form of real money, and its inherent nature fully conforms to the "public and private property" protected by the criminal law. It should also be regarded as the "property" in the sense of criminal law, which should be protected by law. Therefore, stealing other people's virtual property secretly can be convicted and punished according to the provisions of the criminal law on theft. Of course, some experts once advocated that it should be defined as the crime of destroying computer information system, but the judicial circle, especially the court, which has the judicial power of conviction and sentencing, believes that the essence of such behavior is to secretly steal the network virtual property and then possess or resell it to obtain illegal benefits, which is a kind of secret theft of other people's property based on the intention of illegal possession, The criminal responsibility should be investigated for theft. In recent two years, courts in Henan, Beijing, Guangdong, Liaoning and Sichuan have tried to commit such crimes, and have made a guilty verdict on the suspect. In April 2009, Zhang Jin and others used hacker technology to steal online game coins and sell them online for profit. After being tried by Jiulongpo District Court of Chongqing, Zhang Jin was sentenced to 10 years and 6 months' imprisonment for theft.
