Is it illegal for ordinary people to speculate in virtual curren

1. 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 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.

2. No, the money is your own. You can buy anything you want, except guns, ammunition, drugs, whoring and nothing else

3. 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.

4. As long as the price is reasonable, it is not illegal for both parties to trade voluntarily. It's like you have an old TV set that you want to sell and someone wants to use. It's not against the law to negotiate the price and pay for it and deliver it.

It's not against the law to do bitcoin business, but don't use bitcoin to do illegal things

the following is the bitcoin risk notice issued by the central bank and other five ministries and commissions (bitcoin home has the full text):

the notice defines the nature of bitcoin, and holds 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. In terms of nature, bitcoin is a specific virtual commodity, which does not have the same legal status as currency and cannot and should not be used as currency in the market. However, bitcoin trading as a commodity trading behavior on the Internet, ordinary people have the freedom to participate at their own risk

6. For example, bitcoin
the people's Bank of China issued the notice on preventing bitcoin risks on the afternoon of December 5, in which the people's Bank of China said that bitcoin is not a currency, but a virtual commodity. In addition, financial institutions and Payment institutions are not allowed to carry out business related to bitcoin
in order to avoid over hype of virtual commodities such as bitcoin in the name of "virtual currency" and damage the public interest and the legal tender status of RMB, the notice requires financial institutions and Payment institutions to correctly use the concept of currency in their daily work, pay attention to strengthening the ecation of public currency knowledge, and correctly understand currency, treat virtual commodities and virtual currency, and promote the development of virtual currency The concept of rational investment, reasonable control of investment risk, and maintaining the safety of their own property are included in the content of financial knowledge popularization activities, so as to guide the public to establish a correct monetary concept and investment concept
virtual commodities are willing to fight each other, and it is not legal to say that they are happy with each other
game equipment is different. If you want to buy it, it's worth it.

It's not against the law to do bitcoin business, but don't use bitcoin to do illegal things

in China, the regulations on the administration of RMB prohibit the proction and sale of token tickets. Because there is no clear judicial interpretation of the definition of token ticket, if bitcoin is included in the "token ticket", the legal prospect of bitcoin in China will face uncertainty

the notice of the Ministry of culture and the Ministry of Commerce on strengthening the management of virtual currency of online games (Wen Shi Fa [2009] No. 20) on June 4, 2009 stated that the application scope of virtual currency of online games was defined for the first time, and the distinction between the current virtual currency of online games and the virtual props in the game was made; At the same time, the notice said that the "notice" stipulates that enterprises engaged in related services must be approved before they can operate

in China, some Taobao stores also began to accept the use of bitcoin, and the number of businesses will graally increase

in October 2013, the first bitcoin quarterly, one bit, was released

on October 15, 2013, the network accelerator service of the network announced its support for bitcoin

on October 26, 2013, btcmini reported that GBL was hacked

on October 31, 2013, Lei Teng, a famous Internet lawyer, proposed the event of "filing a case to investigate the closure of GBL bitcoin trading platform as soon as possible", analyzed the "value function" and "use function" of bitcoin, and bitcoin should be governed by relevant laws

on December 5, 2013, notice of the Ministry of instry and information technology of the people's Bank of China, China Banking Regulatory Commission, China Securities Regulatory Commission and China Insurance Regulatory Commission on preventing bitcoin risk: bitcoin is a specific virtual commodity

as a commodity trading behavior on the Internet, ordinary people have the freedom to participate in bitcoin trading at their own risk

the trading platform shall not engage in the exchange business between legal tender and token, or virtual currency, or buy or sell token or virtual currency as a central counter party, or provide pricing, information intermediary and other services for token or virtual currency

on November 2, 2018, the people's Bank of China released the 12th topic of China financial stability report 2018, which talked about "encrypted assets"

extended information:

currency transaction

purchase method

< P > users can buy bitcoin, and at the same time, they can use computers to "mine" bitcoin according to algorithms. When users "mine" bitcoin, they need to search for 64 bit numbers by computer

and then, by repeatedly solving mysteries, compete with other gold miners to provide the required numbers for the bitcoin network. If the user's computer successfully creates a set of numbers, it will get 25 bitcoins

e to the decentralized programming of bitcoin system, only 25 bitcoins can be obtained every 10 minutes, and by 2140, the upper limit of bitcoins in circulation will reach 21 million. In other words, bitcoin system is able to achieve self-sufficiency, resist inflation through coding, and prevent others from destroying these codes
