摘要
世界各国对比特币的性质认识不一,对比特币的监管态度也不同。到目前为止世界上仍有个别国家禁止比特币,但多数国家正逐步将比特币纳入本国的监管体系之中。尽管比特币不符合法定货币的定义,然而我国将比特币界定为虚拟商品也是不符合其本质属性的。在以比特币开展支付应用业务时,应将其认定为小额支付手段或者转账工具;在以比特币开展投资业务时,应将其认定为金融产品。在此基础上,将比特币等数字货币平台划分为应用型和投资型平台,并分类予以监管。以数字货币平台为核心目标进行监管才是构建整个数字货币行业法律监管的正确入手点。
Every country has different opinion on the nature of Bitcoin and thus has different regulation attitude towards Bitcoin. Certain countries still forbid Bitcoin, but majorities have been on the way of regulating Bitcoin. Though Biteoin doesn＇ t correspond with the definition of legal tender, the idea of our country regarding bitcoin as virtual commodity also doesn＇ t fit its nature. Bitcoin should be considered as small payment means or transfer instrument when it is used to do payment while it should be defined as financial product when it is used to do investment. Based on this, digital currency （including Bitcoin, etc. ） platforms are to be divided into application ones and investment ones and be regulated differently. The centre of supervision should be on the platform of digital currency which is a correct start to build the legal regulation system on the digital currency industry.
