Alright, alright, now the situation has become interesting.
Today, the Shanghai High Court published an article, clearly stating: It is not illegal for individuals to hold virtual currency.
Although in the public sphere, everyone thinks holding currency is fine, but the official statement has been awaited for many years.
For so many years, the official attitude has always been unsupportive, uncertain, and pessimistic.
The official attitude mentioned by Orange Seat, the entire official stance, including all lines and departments, everyone has a unified voice: If it’s not allowed, it’s not allowed; if it is allowed, it’s still not allowed.
But over time, various departments found that this is not right. If you deny the property attribute of digital currency, many tasks cannot be carried out. You can't just say 'violating public order and good customs' in any situation and refuse support.
Moreover, public order and good customs are merely within the civil realm, but many matters occur within the criminal realm.
You can't just say civil matters are greater than form, and policy is greater than law, right?
So over the years, frontline legal workers, especially courts across the country, have had a very difficult time in this area.
You see the statement from the Shanghai High Court today, it is a very clear statement: Not illegal.
What does not illegal mean? Not illegal means legal.
Logically speaking, if it’s not illegal, it’s legal. Why not just say that individuals holding virtual currency is legal?
Although it is indeed legal for individuals to hold virtual currency under the current legal framework, in order to reduce public opinion risks, the court does not dare to make such a public statement. It can only subtly say that this thing is not illegal, leaving some face for other aspects.
With this interpretation by Orange Seat, are you feeling as clear as a mirror in your heart?
For something legal, what else is there to say?
Now it's legal, now there are no problems.
But the question is, do you dare to get on the bus at this time?
It's kind of like something:
When I was in middle school, wanting to date was considered early love; in high school, boys and girls were not allowed to have contact. After finally getting to college, I hadn't even started dating before staying home for three years. Now that it's suddenly unblocked, you ask me why I don't have a partner and am not married?
Where the hell am I supposed to get married?
Who the hell am I supposed to marry?
With you guys being this perverted, do I even dare to get married?
Getting married just so you can urge me to have kids again?
