比特币:潮起潮落背后的理性思考

Bitcoin: Rational thinking behind the ebb and flow

比特币作为一种独特的虚拟货币,已成为当今互联网金融的一种新的表现形式,给传统的货币体系带来了多方面的冲击。比特币一定程度上已具备了实体货币的功能,与实体货币的关联变得越来越紧密,参与面和应用面也在不断扩大,国际认可度正不断提高。但是,比特币对现有金融体系带来了较大冲击,为各类非法活动提供了温床,独特的发行机制造就了几乎畸形的产业,保障机制的缺失使参与者的利益受损,而淘金的强烈冲动让不少参与者执迷不悟。面对比特币这一新生事物,我们应科学理性地看待它的存在,深入研究针对比特币的监管措施,同时要加强对参与者的风险警示和合理引导,并大力开展国际合作,共同应对虚拟金融的挑战。

As a unique virtual currency, Bitcoin has become a new form of Internet finance, bringing shocks to the traditional monetary system. To some extent, Bitcoin has possessed the functions of entity money, with which it has a growing association. Bitcoin＇ s involvement and applications are expanding, and its worldwide acceptance is also increasing. But Bitcoin is exerting great impact on the existing financial system and it is serving as a hotbed of various illegal activities. The totally different distribution mechanism of Biteoin creates a nearly deformed industry in which investors lose their benefits for lack of security mechanism on the one hand while on the other hand they lose their senses for the gold-mining impulse. With regard to the novelty of Bitcoin, it is suggested that scientific and rational perspectives have to be taken, in-depth regulatory measures have to be explored, risk warning and proper guidance for investors have to be strengthened, and that comprehensive international cooperation have to be implemented so that the challenges of the virtual finance could be jointly coped with.
