重点报道：在大马买房：现金、刷卡，还是比特币？
说到风靡全球的加密货币，最广为人知的莫过于比特币（Bitcoin），但事实上，又有多少人是真正了解比特币呢？ 比特币在2008年开始出现在市场上，它是一种匿名虚拟的加密货币，由一位昵称Satoshi Nakamoto的软件开发专家，通过区块链（blockchain）所创建。 除了比特币外，其他盛行的虚拟货币包括了以太坊（Ethereum）、Litecoin、Monero和Zcash等。 这类货币并不是由法定货币机构发行的，也不受中央银行的管控。 简单来说，区块链像是所有加密币交易的“公共账本”。无论你身在何处，区块链都能够确认及记录所有的虚拟货币交易。 在大马方面，国家银行（BNM）于2014年宣布，该央行不承认比特币为法定货币，也没有监控比特币的运作，因此呼吁大众在使用这类货币时，要谨慎地审视有关方面的风险。 不过，国家银行还是采取了一个措施，强制要求数码货币兑换商必须向央行报告它们的活动，并受到2001年反洗钱、反资助恐怖主义和非法活动收入法令的监管。 由于国家银行并没有在国内禁止加密货币的使用，沙巴一名商人就在2018年初，使用了比特币来购买一块土地，交易价是半个比特币，相等于RM38,832.
