Xinhua News Agency: If only Bitcoin and other virtual commodities are bought and sold, ordinary people have the freedom to participate in the transaction at their own risk

Xinhua News Agency’s “Xinhua Viewpoint” column published an article on June 2 stating that Xinhua News Agency has recently published articles focusing on the “coin circle” in order not to let the “air currency” harvest the hard-earned money of the masses. The report has received good dissemination effects, and many people have seen the “doorway” of virtual currency trading hype, such as Dogecoin, Catcoin, Piggycoin, Eelcoin and other “air coins” are like air, invisible and intangible. , There is no physical support and no application value. Once the price of such speculative targets collapses and the tide recedes, investors will only suffer huge losses and regret. Moreover, the current virtual currency transaction contract is not protected by law in our country, and the consequences and losses caused are borne by the relevant parties themselves.

The article also stated that if only virtual currencies such as Bitcoin are bought and sold as virtual commodities, ordinary people have the freedom to participate in transactions at their own risk. However, if the virtual currency is packaged as a speculative target of “a huge profit” and attract investors to the trading platform, it is necessary to tighten the system fence and safeguard the interests of the people.

When talking about supervision, the article said that the supervision of virtual currency trading activities is not a single supervision of a single department, but a comprehensive policy. Relevant departments should participate in accordance with their respective responsibilities and implement functional supervision.

Babbitt noted that this is not the first official talk about the freedom of ordinary people to trade bitcoin. As early as December 2013, the People’s Bank of China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the China Banking Regulatory Commission, and the China Securities Regulatory Commission The Committee, China Insurance Regulatory Commission and other institutions jointly issued the “Notice on Preventing Bitcoin Risks.” At that time, the central bank said in a question and answer, “Bitcoin trading is a kind of commodity buying and selling behavior on the Internet, and ordinary people have the freedom to participate under the premise of their own risk.”

It is reported that in the past 10 days, Xinhua News Agency has issued 6 investigation reports in a row, from mining to trading to financing, involving multiple important links in the virtual currency industry chain. The series of reports set off a violent wind in the “coin circle” and the industry quickly cooled. As of press time, the Bitcoin price was 38,815 US dollars, which had fallen by nearly 40% from the highest point.

2488.top特讯，新华社《新华视点》栏目6月2日发表文章称，新华社近日连续发文紧盯“币圈”那些事，目的在于不能让“空气币”收割了群众的血汗钱。报道收到了良好的传播效果，不少人从中看清了虚拟货币交易炒作的“门道”，诸如狗币、猫币、猪币、鳗鱼币等“空气币”如空气一般，看不见、摸不着，没有实物依托、不具备应用价值。这样的投机炒作标的一旦价格崩盘、潮水退去，带给投资人的只有巨大损失和悔不当初。而且，目前虚拟货币交易合同在我国不受法律保护，后果和引发的损失由相关方自行承担。

文章还称，若只把比特币等虚拟货币作为虚拟商品买卖，普通民众在自担风险的前提下，有参与交易的自由。但如果把虚拟货币包装成“一本万利”的投机炒作标的，吸引投资者涌向交易平台，就必须扎紧制度的篱笆、维护百姓的利益。

谈到监管时，文章说，对虚拟货币交易炒作活动的监管，不是单一部门的单一监管，而是要综合施策。相关部门应根据各自职责参与进来，实施功能监管。

巴比特注意到，这并非官方第一次谈到普通民众有交易比特币的自由，早在2013年12月初，中国人民银行、工业和信息化部、中国银行业监督管理委员会、中国证券监督管理委员会、中国保险监督管理委员会等机构联合印发了《关于防范比特币风险的通知》。当时央行在答问时表示，“比特币交易作为一种互联网上的商品买卖行为，普通民众在自担风险的前提下，拥有参与的自由。”

据悉，近10天内，新华社已连发6篇调查报道，从挖矿到交易再到融资，涉及虚拟货币产业链上的多个重要环节。系列报道在“币圈”掀起一股狂风，行业迅速降温，截至发稿时比特币价格38815美元，较最高点已跌去近40%。
