Why should virtual currency be charged

1. In 2013, the people's Bank of China issued the notice on preventing bitcoin risks. Later, it was reported that the people's Bank of China had an interview with more than 10 third-party payment companies, explicitly requiring them not to provide payment and clearing services to bitcoin, lightcoin and other trading websites. The price of bitcoin in China has dropped all the way from about 7000 yuan to 3300 yuan. More analysis says that bitcoin will withdraw from China. Is that true< On December 5, 2013, the central bank and other five ministries and commissions issued the notice on the prevention of bitcoin risks, saying that bitcoin is not issued by the monetary authority, has no monetary attributes such as legal compensation and mandatory, and is not a real currency. The move caused bitcoin trading prices to plummet
since then, the network and shell electronics have announced the stop of bitcoin payment. Recently, the central bank interviewed the third party payment agencies. Alipay and Fu Tong pass closed the virtual currency trading window such as bitcoin, resulting in a further fall in bitcoin prices.
it is also reported that the cooperation between banks and bitcoin trading platform is not supported by the regulatory authorities, which basically turns off the possibility of recharge and withdrawal on bitcoin platform, that is, blocking the mutual exchange between domestic bitcoin and RMB
bitcoin trading platforms such as "bitcoin China" and okcoin also resumed to charge 0.3% transaction fees, and increased the withdrawal fees to 1%. Some analysts believe that this is to prevent a large number of investors from cashing out
all kinds of signs show that bitcoin is getting worse and worse in China. However, the conclusion of bitcoin's exit from China may be overstated
first, bitcoin can be freely traded as a commodity
although the central bank does not recognize the legal tender status of bitcoin, it does not deny the legitimacy of bitcoin as a commodity and does not prohibit investment, trading and purchase of bitcoin. Ordinary people have the freedom to participate at their own risk
Second, the bitcoin trade has not collapsed yet
a bitcoin player said that the current transaction price of bitcoin is not low enough to lead to the collapse of the trade. The price of bitcoin is still higher than the cost price of bitcoin, that is, the price of mining< Third, the transaction channel is not blocked

although some third-party payments have stopped supporting bitcoin transactions, and banks are not optimistic, bitcoin trading platform can also use other third-party payment interfaces, or use foreign payment interfaces to pay. Some bitcoin trading platforms are considering transferring their servers abroad
the above-mentioned bitcoin player said that he once withdrew cash from his personal account to remit money to him. In other words, bitcoin transaction may bypass the third-party payment
at the same time, cash transaction is also a possible way of transaction< Four, the biggest risk of bitcoin trading is not regulation
the biggest risk of bitcoin trading is not government regulation, but security risks
bitcoin is at risk of being stolen by hackers. If there is a large-scale loss of bitcoin, it will directly affect the fairness of market transactions, which is a real "bottom-up"
however, at present, the security risks of bitcoin have not been fully exposed
the overall risk has increased
it must be admitted that the government's increased supervision has further increased the risk of bitcoin trading
moreover, the transaction threshold is obviously higher than before
in essence, as a means of investment, the risk of bitcoin is self-evident. If there is no final person to take over the offer, even if bitcoin is in short supply, it lacks real value and only has limited online use value. If you can't find the last recipient, bitcoin will probably disappear like a bubble.

Virtual currency is the currency used for electronic circulation. Now the scope of virtual currency is very large, including q-coin, bitcoin and so on. With the development of digital currency, virtual currency is becoming more and more abundant, which may become the mainstream in the future. For example, BTC, EOS, bcbot and so on are not only virtual currencies, but also algorithms, landing projects and technologies

virtual currency is mainly issued by online game service providers to purchase game props, such as equipment, clothing, etc. But at present, the use of virtual currency has gone far beyond this category. Virtual currency can be used to buy game cards, physical objects and download services of some movies and software

extended data:

real risk

as the proct of e-commerce, virtual currency has begun to play an increasingly important role, and it is more and more connected with the real world. However, with the growth of virtual currency, the relevant laws and regulations are lagging behind, which has laid many hidden dangers

fraud

the private transaction of online virtual currency has realized the two-way circulation between virtual currency and RMB to a certain extent. The activity of these traders is to buy all kinds of virtual currencies and procts at a low price, and then sell them at a high price to earn profits. With the increase of such transactions, there are even virtual mints. In addition to the virtual currency provided by the main company, there are also some people who specialize in "virtual coin making" to obtain virtual currency by playing games and then resell it to other players

Taking Wenzhou as an example, there are about seven or eight such "virtual mints" with four or five hundred practitioners. This not only creates a bubble for the price of the virtual currency itself, but also causes trouble for the normal sale of the issuing company. It also provides a platform for selling and collecting money and money laundering for various cyber crimes. p>

impact system

in modern financial system, the issuers of money are generally central banks, which are responsible for the management and supervision of money operation. As the equivalent exchange goods used to replace the real currency circulation on the Internet, the virtual currency on the Internet is essentially the same as the real currency. The difference is that the issuers are no longer central banks, but Internet companies

if the development of virtual currency makes it form a unified market, each company can exchange with each other, or virtual currency is integrated and unified, and all of them are based on the same standard and price, then in a sense, virtual currency is currency, which is likely to form a threat impact on the traditional financial system or economic operation

the first conclusion: ripple is not a currency, but a payment network; XRP currency used in the network is a kind of currency. Compared with bitcoin, the former is a payment system, while the latter is money, which is not the same kind of things, so there is no substitutability

bitcoin has been fried rotten, and hushang's answer is close to saturation, so we don't need to repeat our work. Let's focus on ripple

what is ripple
ripple is an open payment network. Just like ripple, the word ripple emphasizes the flow and transmission of funds

in life, acquaintances borrow money from each other and may not write IOU. Sometimes, several friends borrow money from each other, generate multi angle debts, and may adjust the relationship of debts and creditor's rights according to the alienation of relatives. For example, a owes B 5 yuan, B owes C 5 yuan, and a and C are familiar with each other. Once three people discuss, they may directly ask a to repay C. In fact, not only between acquaintances, many small shops and small companies will allow acquaintances to write off on credit

that is to say, everyone is more willing to have debt relationship with the people they trust or are familiar with, and through the trust network between people, funds can flow smoothly

the above is the money network between people in the real world. If all this happens in the Internet world, it is the money flow system that ripple is trying to achieve

but in this network, the relationship between you and your trusted acquaintances is transformed into the relationship between you and your trusted gateway. As the name suggests, a gateway is a "gateway" between one network and another, that is, a network gateway. To go from one room to another, you have to go through a door. Similarly, to send information from one network to another, you have to go through a "gateway", which is the gateway. As the interface between network and network, network and the real world, gateway is like a bank counter, which converts your currency into a series of numbers in your account

what happens in ripple is just like the reality. When you change 100 RMB into FCY issued by gateway a through gateway a, you will have an extra amount of 100fcy in your ripple account. You can transfer the 100fcy to a stranger through gateway a, such as Xiao Ming, Xiaoming can exchange the money into real-world RMB through gateway a. In the whole process, the relationship between creditor's rights and debt changes as follows:
1. You deposit 100 RMB into gateway a, and gateway a owes you 100 RMB and gives you a 100fcy IOU
2. You pass the IOU of 100fcy to Xiaoming through gateway A. at this time, gateway a no longer owes you money, but owes Xiaoming RMB 100, because the IOU is in Xiaoming's hands
3. Xiao Ming takes the IOU to go to gateway a to cash RMB 100

in the whole process, you and Xiao Ming only establish a trust relationship with gateway a, but you and Xiao Ming do not need to establish a trust relationship

what is XRP coin
what is XRP coin at the beginning? Its main function is to pay transaction costs

XRP is a kind of cryptocurrency embedded in ripple system. Unlike bitcoin, ripple issued 100 billion XRP coins at the beginning of its establishment, and the total amount is no longer increasing, that is to say, it has g up the mine ahead of time. Each transaction (for example, you transfer 100fcy to Xiaoming) requires a small amount of XRP currency, which is technically destroyed directly. At the same time, XRP coins are also used as margin. When you open a ripple account, you need to put 50 XRP coins in it as a guarantee

according to opencoin, the issuing and maintenance company of ripple, the first 100 billion XRP coins will be given to investors and founders, 50 billion will be distributed free of charge (that is, opening accounts for free for a period of time), and the other 30 billion will be held by opencoin, which will be sold from time to time to make profits. Opencoin also admits that holding and selling XRP coins is the only way to make a profit<

ripple's influence
at the beginning of ripple's birth, rumors abound. Many people claim that ripple is more in line with the operation mode of money flow in reality, and will replace bitcoin in the future

but in fact, it is too early to judge whether ripple system can succeed. As soon as ripple started to operate, many problems have been exposed, including that its security is not as good as the official propaganda

at the beginning, ripple itself is just a new currency circulation system or payment network, and the essence of XRP currency is the lubricant to assist the currency circulation in the system. If this system is successful one day, it will only have a positive impact on the circulation of bitcoin. To say that "Ripple can replace bitcoin" is actually equivalent to saying that "Alipay can replace the renminbi" is wrong: the former is the payment system, the latter is the currency, not the same thing, so there is no replaceability. The emergence of Alipay has facilitated the payment and flow of RMB. Similarly, if the Ripple system is successful, its role is only to facilitate the payment and circulation of legal tender and bitcoin.

@ Feng Chiyu
only mentioned the scene of ripple when users and users pay, but ripple is far more than that. I add two points: trading system and automatic path search

through a gateway, you can deposit RMB, US dollars or virtual currencies, such as bitcoin and Leyte currency, into ripple wallet. And in this system, you can achieve any currency to buy or sell a single transaction. Trading here is better than trading platform. The transaction information of traditional trading platform is not open and opaque. In ripple, every order, cancellation and transaction record can be fully inquired. Through websocket interface, developers can also implement automatic trading program, and basically get real-time data in addition to network delay Network delay depends on the situation, the delay of using US server may be less than 0.1 second!) However, most of the traditional trading platforms have a certain cache time for the API interface. A few seconds of cache time may be fatal to the automatic trading program
with this trading market, ripple can realize a very advanced means of payment - automatic path search
to give a practical example, if I was a Chinese programmer working for a company in the United States, I might get us dollars through Western Union remittance or other ways before, and then I would go to the bank to exchange them for RMB. In the middle of this, the handling cost is relatively high. With ripple, I can do this now:
I trust a RMB gateway, such as ripplecn or ripplechina gateway, which is one of the best RMB gateways in China. Then American companies deposit bitcoin or US dollars through bitsmap gateway and send them to ripple. The service charge is only about 0.000012xrp, It is equivalent to about RMB 0.00000108. Then I will directly receive the CNY quota in the ripple system and withdraw it at the RMB gateway. The service charge for withdrawal is 3% for ripple CN gateway and 6% for ripple China gateway. It only takes a few seconds to complete the automatic exchange payment in ripple system
the full-automatic exchange in the payment step is the automatic path search of ripple, which is the essence of ripple system. Path automatic search relies on the above-mentioned hanging single transaction system. If the above American company deposits bitcoin, the system will complete the following calculation in a few seconds: query the amount of XRP after BTC / XRP exchange, and then the amount of CNY after XRP / CNY exchange. If there is a more appropriate path, such as BTC / USD - & gt; USD/XRP-> XRP / CNY, or BTC / USD - & gt; USD / CNY, the system will also automatically calculate and find the cheapest path for the sender to complete the exchange payment
once, I used ripplecn gateway CNY, and my friend only trusted ripplechina. He wanted me to give him 10 yuan, so I entered the sending interface to input 10 yuan, but the system showed that I only needed to send 9.9998 yuan. Because there is a price difference between the two gateways in the CNY / XRP trading market, the system automatically realizes the path search and provides me with the cheapest payment path
there will be many applications on ripple in the future, and ripple's second payment experience is excellent. If you have a ripple wallet, try clicking send in the wallet and the recipient enters it [email protected] perhaps [email protected] There will be a call fee and Q coin recharge interface, which is an application I made for ripple. You can use XRP, U.S. dollar, RMB, bitcoin and other currencies to purchase q-coin, and exchange it into RMB in seconds to complete the recharge request automatically
ripple is likely to go against the weather in the future. As for bitcoin? His role in the virtual currency instry is similar to that of legal currency, which is totally different from ripple's payment system<

1 person agreed with the answer

ripple basic concept and principle, others have answered, simply speaking, it is a payment network, anyone can become a node of this network to issue currency and then circulate throughout the network. There are some innovations
but in the long run, it must grow faster than bitcoin, otherwise it is likely to lose in the competition, because at present, most of its functions can be realized in bitcoin network
from a technical point of view, because bitcoin has "dyeing" technology, anyone can issue currency, stocks, funds and so on by becoming a node on the bitcoin network. Assuming that the bitcoin is fully legalized, Alipay will turn 1 bitcoin "dyed" into the one and only special bitcoin that is unique and unforgery in the bitcoin network. Then it will promise the public that the stained coin can be exchanged for Alipay by 1 yuan. So the public can use Renminbi to exchange Alipay's "bit yuan" for consumption and payment. So these special bitcoins have what experts call "guarantee" or "anchor". As long as Alipay is credible, these "bit yuan" will always be valuable and can be used safely. At the same time, as bitcoin transactions are open throughout the network, everyone can see how much Alipay has issued "bit yuan", whether it has spammed money and oversold its own assets to guarantee the currency. So the only advantage of ripple in technology is that it can transfer money quickly. It doesn't need bitcoin to wait for dozens of minutes. But in the long run, bitcoin can speed up the transfer speed to a few minutes in the future through technical upgrading

The investment risk of virtual currency is high, and the transaction of virtual currency has been banned in China

strengthen the management of token financing trading platform according to Article 3 of the notice on preventing the financing risk of token issuance. From the date of this announcement, any so-called token financing trading platform shall not engage in the exchange business between legal tender and token and "virtual currency", nor buy or sell token or "virtual currency" as a central counterpart, nor provide pricing, information intermediary and other services for token or "virtual currency"

for the token financing trading platform with illegal problems, the financial management department will request the competent department of telecommunications to close its website platform and mobile app according to law, request the network information department to remove the mobile app from the app store, and request the instrial and commercial administration department to revoke its business license according to law

Article 4 financial institutions and non bank payment institutions shall not carry out business related to token issuance financing transactions. All 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 and financing and "virtual currency", nor undertake insurance business related to token and "virtual currency" or include token and "virtual currency" into the scope of insurance liability. Financial institutions and non bank payment institutions shall report to the relevant departments in a timely manner if they find clues of violation of laws and regulations in token issuance financing transactions

extended materials:

"notice on preventing the financing risk of token issuance" Article 1 accurately understand the essential attribute of token issuance financing activities. Token issuance financing refers to the financing subject raising bitcoin, ether coin and other so-called "virtual currency" from investors through the illegal sale and circulation of token, In essence, it is a kind of unauthorized illegal public financing, which is suspected of illegal sale of token tickets, illegal issuance of securities, illegal fund-raising, financial fraud, pyramid selling and other illegal and criminal activities

Relevant departments will closely monitor relevant developments, strengthen cooperation with judicial departments and local governments, strictly enforce the law in accordance with the current working mechanism, and resolutely deal with market chaos. If suspected crimes are found, they will be transferred to judicial organs. The token or "virtual currency" used in token issuance financing is not issued by the monetary authority, does not have such monetary attributes as legal compensation and compulsion, does not have the same legal status as currency, and cannot and should not be used as currency in the market

5. It's easy to recharge and difficult to withdraw cash. It's hard to be one-to-one

6. Diversification. There are many games in a company. You can save and buy many kinds of things when you rush in

7.

Because usdt is equivalent to self digital currency anchoring the price of US dollar, the price fluctuation is very small and very stable. The purpose of buying it first is to use usdt as the settlement currency in the currency to currency exchange trading. You can directly use usdt to buy bitcoin, which is convenient and fast. Generally speaking, you buy usdt first in the okex exchange, and then you trade bitcoin in the currency exchange, OK, there are many tutorials

extended data:

the two main settlement units of bitcoin are US dollar and usdt (actually can be understood as RMB). In the current market, the main exchange settled in US dollars is coinbase in the United States, which allows users to recharge directly with legal currency

while other large exchanges usually settle in usdt, such as coin an, fire coin, okex, etc., which are all currency transactions. They need to convert legal currency into usdt over the counter (OTC), and then deposit it in the exchange

chainalysis reported that e to the influence of the general environment and other factors, 99% of the spot transactions of bitcoin in China are settled by usdt, which is the main channel for the entry and exit of RMB, that is, the main trading market of usdt is in China

9. Buying and selling virtual currency, general banks and online banking are OK. As long as you can transfer money

in 2014, the central bank interviewed major domestic third-party payment institutions and required them not to provide clearing and payment services for bitcoin trading platforms. Subsequently, China's bitcoin trading platform's online banking recharge, Alipay, money paid and other recharge methods were interrupted. While some transaction platforms take the way of bank transfer to recharge, some develop their own recharge code, buy recharge code to recharge

at present, some domestic platforms also support Alipay recharge and online banking online recharge, and can not mention bitcoin related information in remarks.

since 2013, the well-known virtual currencies include bitcoin, Laite coin, Fuyuan coin, doggy coin, Ruibo coin, etc.
