Crypto currency, bitcoins and virtual currencies are topics the scientific community has been discussing for years. The Bank of the Russia has repeatedly warned about high risks of investments in crypto currencies and risks in its turnover. Populations of many countries continue to lose their investments in virtual currencies, which are positioned by their developers as tamper-proof. However, there is still a vacuum in the legal regulation of crypto currencies and the legitimacy of their use as legal payment. The article presents the author’s view on a number of issues arisen in the process of crypto currency, bitcoin, digital and virtual currency use and presents ways to solve them in the context of Russian and world experience.
