Em nosso país, o status atual e as políticas de transações Bitcoin sempre foram um tema quente de preocupação para o público e os investidores. Desde que o Banco Popular da China e dez outros departamentos emitiram conjuntamente o Aviso sobre Prevenção e Tratamento Adicional de Riscos de Especulação em Transações de Moeda Virtual (doravante denominado "Aviso 924") em setembro de 2021, a China adotou regulamentos rígidos sobre as atividades comerciais de moedas virtuais, como o Bitcoin. A introdução desta política não só teve um impacto profundo no mercado doméstico de Bitcoin, mas também desencadeou ampla discussão e preocupação social.
Do ponto de vista político, o Aviso 924 afirma claramente que as moedas virtuais não têm o mesmo estatuto jurídico que a moeda com curso legal, e nenhuma organização ou indivíduo está autorizado a emitir, vender ou comprar moedas virtuais na China. Isto significa que na China, as atividades comerciais de Bitcoin ou outras moedas virtuais são estritamente restritas. Além disso, o aviso também enfatiza que as bolsas de moeda virtual no exterior não estão autorizadas a fornecer serviços aos residentes chineses, cortando ainda mais os canais para os investidores nacionais participarem em transações em moeda virtual.
Despite such strict policies, some people still try to evade regulation through various means to engage in trading activities of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin. This behavior not only violates national laws and regulations but also increases the risk to personal and family property security. Therefore, regulatory authorities have been strengthening their crackdown on virtual currency trading activities to maintain stability and order in the financial market.
Why did China ban the trading of virtual currencies like Bitcoin? There are multiple reasons behind this. On one hand, the price volatility of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin is enormous, and the investment risk is extremely high. For ordinary investors lacking professional knowledge and risk tolerance, participating in such trading can easily lead to losses. On the other hand, virtual currency trading activities often involve illegal activities such as money laundering and fraud, posing serious risks to social security. Therefore, to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the general public and the public interest, the Chinese government deems it necessary to strictly regulate such trading activities.
Of course, we should also see that although China has banned the trading activities of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin, it does not mean that these currencies themselves are illegal. In fact, Bitcoin, as a decentralized digital currency technology, has received widespread attention and application globally. Many countries and regions are actively exploring how to apply this technology in finance, payments, and other fields to improve transaction efficiency and reduce costs. Therefore, we cannot simply equate virtual currencies such as Bitcoin with illegal items or scams.
We also need to note that although China has banned the trading activities of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin, this does not mean that domestic investors cannot access such assets. In fact, with the continuous development of global financial markets and increasing openness, more and more investors are beginning to pay attention to investment opportunities in overseas markets. They can participate in international financial markets through legal channels and methods to achieve diversified asset allocation and value preservation.
China's prohibition of trading activities involving Bitcoin and other virtual currencies is based on various considerations and trade-offs. Although this policy has caused some inconvenience and losses to certain investors, in the long run, it is beneficial for maintaining the stability and order of the financial market and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the general public. At the same time, we should also recognize that as an emerging form of digital asset, the application and development of virtual currencies like Bitcoin still hold broad prospects and potential globally. Therefore, we should maintain a rational and objective attitude towards this issue, recognizing both the risks and challenges as well as the opportunities and development space.
