The background of the prohibition of virtual currency transactio
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 the control of all people. 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<
2. Avoiding supervision and becoming the "accomplice" of criminal activities
virtual currency transaction is not protected by law:
virtual currency transaction is not illegal, and it is not illegal to invest in virtual currency. But how to get involved in virtual currency transactions is illegal and illegal. It may be suspected of illegal fund-raising.
Some virtual currencies are illegal in China. Chinese laws prohibit virtual currencies. The only legal currency in China is RMB. Since the people's Republic of China issued RMB, it has lasted 71 years. With the development of economic construction and the needs of people's life, it has graally improved and improved. So far, it has issued five sets of RMB, forming a multi variety and multi series monetary system of paper money and metal money, ordinary commemorative money and precious metal commemorative money
except for 1,2,5 fen coins, the first, second and third sets of RMB have been withdrawn from circulation, and the fourth set of RMB has been suspended from circulation since May 1, 2018 (except 1 jiao, 5 jiao notes and 5 jiao, 1 yuan coins). The current circulation of RMB is mainly the fifth set of RMB issued in 1999
the people's Bank of China is scheled to issue the fifth set of RMB 50 yuan, 20 yuan, 10 yuan, 1 yuan banknotes and 1 yuan, 5 jiao, 1 jiao coins of the 2019 edition from August 30, 2019. The fifth set of RMB inherits the traditional experience of China's printing technology and draws lessons from the advanced technology of foreign banknote design, which has greatly improved its anti-counterfeiting performance and currency processing modernization
Chairman Mao Zedong's head portrait in the early days of the founding of the people's Republic of China is used on the front of each denomination currency, the famous Chinese flower pattern is used on the bottom, and the main scenery pattern on the back fully shows China's long history and magnificent mountains and rivers, and carries forward China's great national culture by selecting representative patterns with national characteristics
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
10 10, two major domestic payment giants Alipay and WeChat simultaneously voicing, prohibiting the use of platforms in virtual currency transactions. Why did Alipay and WeChat voice at the same time? The reporter understands that this may be related to a dynamic trend of a virtual trading platform in the near future. P>
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.
as early as the end of 2013, the central bank and other ministries and commissions issued the notice on preventing bitcoin risks, which made it clear that all financial institutions and Payment institutions should not price procts or services with bitcoin, buy or sell bitcoin or act as central counterparties, underwrite insurance business related to bitcoin or include bitcoin in the scope of insurance liability, Shall not directly or indirectly provide customers with other services related to bitcoin, including: providing customers with bitcoin registration, trading, clearing, settlement and other services; Accept bitcoin or use bitcoin as a payment and settlement tool; Carry out bitcoin and RMB and foreign currency exchange services; Carry out bitcoin storage, custody, mortgage and other services; Issuing financial procts related to bitcoin; Take bitcoin as the investment target of trust, fund, etc
in September 2017, the central bank and other seven departments jointly issued the announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, which stipulates that financial institutions and non bank payment institutions shall not directly or indirectly provide procts or services such as account opening, registration, trading, clearing and settlement for token issuance financing and "virtual currency"
similarly, the business management department of the central bank issued a notice in January 2018, requiring all legal person Payment institutions under its jurisdiction to carry out self inspection and rectification work in their own units and branches, forbidding to provide services for virtual currency transactions, and taking effective measures to prevent payment channels from being used 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
in a word, for people who don't know much about virtual currency, the water is very deep. We must be more cautious when we invest. However, in view of Alipay's prohibition of virtual transactions, may also show its superiors' attitude towards virtual currencies. strong>
MMM fund raising is another typical pyramid investment fraud. Its operation procere is: after the company sponsors draw up the financing plan, they are committed to tempting investors to participate in the shares, and when the accumulation of funds reaches a certain amount, they begin to use these funds to provide returns to investors, so the cycle is endless. As long as the raised capital reaches a certain scale and can be recycled continuously, it can meet the daily cashing and year-end dividend. However, once investors' confidence shakes, stop investing, sell stocks or ask for cash, the pyramid will collapse, and those shareholders who participate in the investment later will lose their money and become victims of fraud
different from what happened in Albania, the MMM in Russia did not die of oil shortage, but "accidental death". If the Russian federal government had not worried that the development of MMM like funds would have impacted Russian commercial banks and affected the savings rate, mmm would have "survived" longer. On July 22, 1994, the Russian government suddenly made a public statement expressing doubts about the high rate of return of MMM. This news almost immediately led to the "melting" of this appalling "iceberg" in a week.
