Autually, whatever the Chinese government rules, Chinese will follow. Because we do believe Chinese government is doing good to us. Jihan Wu also agreed that Chinese government won’t aggressively regulate bitcoin and they just want to control the risk for those investors who don’t have enough knowledge about bitcoin.
122  Bitcoin / Press / [2017-04-26]SEC Approves Petition to Review Bitcoin ETF Rejection on: April 26, 2017, 02:21:31 AM
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rejected the proposed rule change to list and trade a Bitcoin ETF on Bats BZX Exchange on March 10. The exchange then filed a petition for a review of the Commission’s decision, which was granted on Monday.

SEC Grants Petition for Review

Following the SEC’s decision to disapprove its proposed rule change for the listing and trading of Coin ETF, Bats BZX Exchange quickly filed a “Notice of Intention to Petition for Review” of the Commission’s decision on March 17. It then followed up with the actual “Petition for Review” on March 24. The order to reject Coin ETF was made by the SEC’s “Division of Trading and Markets pursuant to delegated authority”. The exchange followed procedures outlined in Rule 430(b)(1) and 430(b)(2) of the SEC’s Rules of Practice which allow for an “appeal of actions made pursuant to delegated authority”.

After one month, the SEC finally approved Bats BZX Exchange’s petition. The “Order Granting Petition for Review” was published on Monday. The Commission wrote:

[The SEC] ordered that the petition of BZX for review of the Division’s action to disapprove the proposed rule change by delegated authority be granted.
In addition, the SEC is allowing anyone to file a statement to support or oppose the decision made by delegated authority on or before May 15. Meanwhile, the “order disapproving such proposed rule change shall remain in effect,” the Commission wrote.

Bats BZX Exchange’s Petition

In its 25-page petition for a review, Bats Exchange states that the decision by the delegated authority “is clearly erroneous”.

SEC Approves Petition to Review Bitcoin ETF RejectionThe exchange claims that the standard applied in their disapproval decision “is inconsistent with prior approval orders” and is not even required by the Securities Exchange Act. The delegated authority has also overstated manipulation concerns which are largely theoretical, Bats Exchange believes.

It then urges the Commission to review their decision, citing its proposed rule change and that the listing of a Bitcoin ETF “constitute an exercise of discretion or decision of law or policy that is important and that the Commission should review.” In addition, the exchange maintains that its proposed rule change is “consistent with the Exchange Act under a standard applied to other approved commodity-trust ETPs [Exchange Traded Products].” Bats Exchange then concluded that:

The exchange believes that the Commission should set aside the Staff’s Order and approve the Proposal in order to ensure consistency with the Exchange Act and with prior ETP approvals as well as to provide investors access to bitcoin through a regulated and transparent investment vehicle.
Meanwhile, the SEC has also rejected the proposed rule change by NYSE Arca to list and trade shares of Solidx Bitcoin Trust. However, unlike Bats BZX Exchange, NYSE Arca did not petition for a review.

The SEC still has one more proposed rule change for a bitcoin ETF in the pipeline, Barry Silbert’s Bitcoin Investment Trust. On March 25, the Commission designated May 10 as the date it would make a decision on this proposed rule change; a deadline that could be extended further.

123  Bitcoin / Press / [2017-04-26]South Korea’s Central Bank Report Says ‘Bitcoin and Fiat Currency Ca on: April 26, 2017, 02:20:35 AM
South Korea’s Central Bank Report Says ‘Bitcoin and Fiat Currency Can Coexist’
The Bank of Korea joins the growing list of central banks researching virtual currencies like bitcoin. The South Korean bank has just published a research paper that compares cryptocurrencies to traditional fiat currencies issued by governments.

South Korea’s Central Bank Researches the Relationship Between Bitcoin and Fiat

South Korea's Central Bank: 'Bitcoin and Fiat Currency Can Coexist'Researchers from Seoul’s Hongik University and members of the Bank of Korea (BOK) have released a paper called “Crowding out in a Dual Currency Regime.” The paper written by Kihoon Hong, Kyounghoon Park, and Jongmin Yu details how cryptocurrencies and fiat monetary systems could collaborate in the future in what the authors call a “dual currency regime.” 

“The rise of cryptocurrencies could have a significant impact on our monetary system as they are privately issued currencies, thus not regulated by central banks,” explains the BOK research paper’s authors.

The recent emergence of digital currency opens up a new type of dual currency regime in which digital currency, which has no intrinsic value and a government-issued fiat currency coexist. One of the well-known examples of privately-issued digital currencies is Bitcoin.
The Dual Currency Regime

In essence, the report states that traditional fiat systems can coexist with privately issued digital currencies like bitcoin. The paper reports that the relationship between the use of fiat currency and that of digital currency demand can change with cost variances.

“High costs of using fiat currency increase the demand for digital currency,” details the BOK research paper. “Similarly, high costs of using digital currency relative to fiat currency raise the demand for fiat currency. In a world of imperfect currencies with uncertain costs associated with the use of a currency, it is unlikely that the relative costs of using digital currency will be low enough to drive out and accordingly crowd out fiat currency entirely.”

Our results rather suggest that the threshold of equating the demand for fiat currency with that for digital currency will allow the co-existence of both currencies.
Cryptocurrency Interest Continues to Grow in South Korea

South Korea's Central Bank: 'Bitcoin and Fiat Currency Can Coexist'Bitcoin has made a significant impact in South Korea as the country captures the fifth-highest bitcoin trading volume worldwide. Last November the Korea Exchange launched its blockchain-based Korea Startup Market (KSM) while the Korean Financial Services Commission (FSC) has talked about regulating  bitcoin this year.

The latest research paper from the BOK reveals the country’s officials are very interested in cryptocurrencies. The authors say they hope the research provided will help South Korean officials and regulators understand the new technology. The paper goes on to state that future research can theoretically and empirically observe the impact of digital currencies and the South Korean economy. Alongside this, the central bank’s researchers say they may work on a paper that covers three types of coexisting currencies in the near future.

“Further, we may attempt to extend our model to a triple currency regime with private-issued digital currency, central-bank-issued digital currency, and fiat currency,” the paper concludes.

ICO 充满机遇,如果选择了靠谱的 ICO 项目,有可能是一次资产额暴增的机会,这种机会也许并不多,但相对于传统行业来说,还是要多的多,但是ICO 也充满挑战,大多数的 ICO 项目无法实现预期的成功可能是常态,在市场上 ICO 后破发的不在少数,不小心参与了一个带坑的项目也是令人心疼的损失。

个别中国团队成员ICO前离职,对项目的愿景看法不一致,也不算什么负面。

137  Local / 媒体 / 穆迪:区块链在证券交易后流程中有巨大潜力 on: April 14, 2017, 04:12:37 AM
穆迪投资者服务公司13日表示,区块链技术可以改变证券交易的许多方面,有可能使金融机构降低成本并提高交易结算速度。虽然区块链技术正在发掘出很多商业机会,但该技术的巨大潜力却在于证券行业的交易后流程。

证券交易的生命周期包括多个阶段和流程,这些阶段和流程可利用区块链技术的主要功能。虽然当前的交易执行流程已经相对高效,但交易后的流程往往并非如此。在某些情况下,卖方和买方之间的证券和现金转移涉及10多家中介机构,每家机构各有个人分类帐,需要以较高的成本进行对帐。

穆迪高级副总裁Robard Williams称:“如果每家交易后流程的参与方都能共享一个总分类帐,而不是各自在其个人分类帐中维持相同的数据,那么就不再需要以较高的成本进行对帐。”

虽然此举可能会改变证券业交易后流程中现有企业的作用,同时部分流程在未来几年可能会变得多余,但穆迪预计,现有的清算和结算企业将依然大部分继续存在。创新型企业已经在区块链技术方面进行大量投资,他们一方面相互合作,另一方面与创业公司合作,为整个行业建立解决方案。

穆迪认为,区块链技术结算速度加快,并可改善资产保管和所有权记录。采用这项技术后可使对帐成本降低,有助于抵消保管人、清算所和/或注册服务商收入可能减少的情况。此外,创新型人员可望从启用区块链技术的服务中产生新的收入来源。(中证网)

138  Local / 媒体 / 一比特币能换北京一套房?许多中国年轻人在等着这一天 on: April 14, 2017, 04:11:03 AM
四月,北京西城区一个明朗的午后,在一座面目模糊的高层公寓楼里,27 岁的杨怀(音译) 正坐在那儿,闷声挖掘着属于自己的财富。

他的寓所,就坐落在中国人视之为吉祥的第 8 层。

半年前,杨怀还是个“多面手”,一面穿梭于某知名咨询公司和某创企,一面试水对冲基金管理。如今,他却一心一用了。六个月来,他大都宅在家里,窝在那张灰色的迷你沙发上,埋头于比特币的搜集和交易。在他看来,之前从事的金融工作虽然“挺有创意”,但比特币这一行却“更年轻、更有意思、更有赚头”。

据他透露,目前月入一百万是不成问题的。然而,他还想要“更带劲儿的生活”。

所以,他购置了一堆贵重装备,塞满了眼前这间让人伸不开手脚的屋子。其中,最扎眼的是那面足有一米多宽的高清智能显示屏,有了它,比特币的起起落落,以及由此引发的财富变化就都能尽收眼底了。

坦白说,想在这一行赚大钱并不是痴人说梦,但参与者同时也要承担很高风险。比特币生来是一种 P2P 货币,可不受政府及各国央行的干预。但在中国,情况不一样。

就在今年二月,政府出台规定,要求各比特币交易平台不得违规从事融资融币等金融业务,不得参与洗钱活动,不得违反国家有关反洗钱、外汇管理和支付结算等金融法律法规。这一要求发布后,国内最大的两家比特币交易平台——火币网和OKCoin 先后宣布暂停提币业务,为期一个月。

这类事儿在杨怀看来“虽然麻烦,但也不是什么大问题”,不过倒是让晨兴(音译,应受访者要求略去姓氏)着实歇业并琢磨了一阵子。今年 35 岁的晨兴孩子气尚未脱尽,看上去胆小而敏感。曾经是地理信息工程师的他,最终放弃了这份“太过舒坦”的工作。如今,他从事比特币交易已经有四个月了。对于政府对相关平台的强力管控,他显然不太理解。

但对他而言,比特币系统本身的脆弱才是最让人悬心的。“技术每天都在更新换代,指不定明天就冒出来个黑客,鼓捣几下就把整个系统给端了。所谓安全其实全在乎‘运算’,一旦把这一层捅破了,比特币就完了。”出于这点考虑,尽管晨兴自称为比特币的“信徒”,但他却不打算把这一行当成一笔长远买卖——虽然,他并不否认收入的今非昔比。

“总归不稳定啊”,他在采访中说。

正因为此,他每入手几枚比特币都会尽快将其换成现钞,因为他觉得,这样才更踏实。而这种心态,在中国的比特币交易圈中可算为异类了。

32 岁的布伦丹·吉布森,一位在中国工作了 6 年的美国人,玩儿比特币已经 3 年了。接受采访时他刚一坐下,就拿起我的手机,给我下了一个名为 BTC Wallet 的应用。接着,他又转给我一笔种子基金——0.0027 比特币。据他说,这个 0.0027,是全球 78 亿人的人均比特币持有量(按总量 2100 万枚计算)。

是的,吉布森认为人人都该使用比特币——甚至包括“爷爷奶奶辈”。

对吉布森而言,比特币是一种生活方式,他指望靠它实现彻底的财务自由。在美国,他干过所谓“灰色”的抵押贷款业,这一背景让他和晨兴一样,容易多虑多疑。不过,他最担心的不是比特币系统本身的脆弱,而是私营银行(的脆弱)。

“我不认为经济应该建立在一串虚浮的数字上。可现在人人都指望着银行户头上的那串 12345……比特币不同,它的性质就决定了:持有者本身就是自己的银行。这个,还让人放心些。”

有一点不得不提。比特币系统的一大致命软肋是:持有者一旦丢失了钱包的秘钥,里面的比特币就再也找不回来了。据说前年,有30% 的比特币(总价约 54 亿人民币)就那么打水漂了。而这一痛点无疑让许多人窥见了赚钱的门道。
27 岁的孙泽宇(音译)就是其中一位。供职于北京某科技公司的他,新近刚开发了一个名为 Coldlar 的项目。该项目可为比特币持有者提供线下实体钱包,要打开的话只需扫描 QR 码。孙泽宇称,比特币的安全的确“很难保障”,因此他才和同事共同设计了上述项目,以便用户能绕开各大平台,更安全地掌控属于自己的财富。“现在(比特币)价格上来了,大家都意识到了安全的重要性”,他解释说。

还在大学读书时,孙泽宇就通过火币网举办的一次研讨会认识到了比特币的存在。跟他那位朋友——文章开头提到的杨怀一样,孙泽宇向往钱,很多的钱。他不愿告诉我每月的收入有多少,但却敢保证:比起三年前初入行时那份万儿八千的月入,他现在的月入翻了“很多很多倍”。

这份收入一部分直接源于比特币交易,一部分则是源于孙泽宇公司项目带来的收益。Coldbar 的良好势头让孙相信:不出十年,比特币的身价将达到“一枚=北京一套房”的高度。在这一过程中,类似于“暂停提币业务”的微小震荡将会“像呼吸一样频繁”,但因为利益的驱动,一切都能过去。

他坚信这一点。

除孙泽宇外,其他三位采访对象的日常“工作”多少有点离群索居,但这并不妨碍他们呼朋引伴。譬如吉布森,除了和中国国内数百位比特迷们互通有无外,他还将近 1000 人吸引进了这个新兴行业(当然,其中不知有多少人像我一样,那 0.0027 的“本金”入账后一直在睡大觉)。这大概就是他对该行业之笃信的最好明证了。至于晨兴,他干脆表示:比特币群体在北京的活跃,就是他留在这个城市以及这个行业的一大理由。

“我倒是能碰上些比特币的‘真爱粉’……我觉得吧,喜欢比特币的都是热爱自由的人”,他说。

至于杨怀,他几乎容不下别人对比特币的一丁点怀疑,所以他说的话更硬气:“是,比特币是有风险。不过,我干嘛要跟人(那些心怀不安的人)聊这些呢?我赚我的钱,这就行了呗……如果你不打算买,我才不会浪费时间跟你聊呢。”此外他也承认,对他们这些先入局者而言,懂行的少未必是坏事。如果能维持这种现状,他还是很开心的。

但这不大可能。虽然比特币的价格已经高入云端,但这并不代表这一行将来就一定如何如何——焉知外部环境会如何变化,焉知从业者们本身不会对这一行业加以限制甚至是削减?

目前在日本,比特币已被认定为合法货币。中国会不会也能等到这一天?许多人认为不太可能。不过,他们大多数都是打算扎根这一行的,因为他们相信,不管是政府干预也好还是别的什么也好,最终都能过去。似乎只有晨兴,他仍然惴惴不安。对于比特币,他最终的定论是:“我永远不会觉得安全。”
