The difference between bitcoin and cross border E-commerce
1. The concept range is different. bitcoin is a kind of digital currency, and the concept of digital currency covers bitcoin
However, some digital currencies have independent issuers The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total quantity of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to 21 milliondigital currency is abbreviated as digiccy, which is the abbreviation of "digital currency" in English. It is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digiccy. Bitcoin is a digital currency
digital currency is different from the virtual currency in the virtual world, because it can be used for real goods and services transactions, not limited to online games. The early digital currency (digital gold currency) is a form of electronic currency named after the weight of gold
today's digital currencies, such as bitcoin, lettercoin and ppcoin, are electronic currencies created, issued and circulated by means of check sum cryptography. It is characterized by the use of P2P peer-to-peer network technology to issue, manage and circulate currency. In theory, it avoids bureaucratic examination and approval, so that everyone has the right to issue currency
illegal digital currency
in recent years, "virtual currency" represented by bitcoin, Ethernet currency and Leyte currency has been traded centrally on some Internet platforms. With the help of financial technology, the price of these "currencies" has graally spread to investment, financing and other financial fields, which has aroused wide attention from all walks of life
not long ago, the people's Bank of China and other seven ministries and commissions jointly issued the announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, which clearly regulated the relevant behaviors. Experts pointed out that "virtual currency" is not legal tender (legal currency) issued by monetary authorities, but a specific virtual commodity in essence
therefore, it is undoubtedly a great legal and economic risk to think that "virtual currency" has or will have the nature of legal tender and to carry out speculation, network fund-raising, lending and financing
1. The nature of the two currencies is different: bitcoin is an encrypted digital currency, and Morgan is a typical MLM currency
(1) bitcoin is a consensus network, contributing to a new payment system and a fully digital currency. It is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network, which is controlled by its users without a central management organization or middleman (2) Morgan is a kind of typical MLM currency, they often promise high income, the information of the founding operation team is not open, and they have the background of international large companies, so they put forward a set of seemingly reasonable economic theory P>
extension data: the harm of
network currency: the extensive application of
1 and virtual currency is also accelerating the rampant network robbers.
(1) in December 2006, the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau announced that it had cracked the country's largest theft network virtual property case, and 11 suspect was arrested. The gang used trojan virus to illegally steal virtual property such as tens of thousands of QQ numbers and QQ coins, and sold stolen goods on the network, making a profit of more than 700000 yuan
(2) in this case, the virtual currency Q was used as the standard of conviction and sentencing, and the police's arrest of illegal elements on suspicion of theft is a special case. The reason is that Tencent has filed with the Guangdong Provincial Price Bureau, and one q is equivalent to 1 yuan
(3) online currency is used more and more widely, for example, it can be used to buy anti-virus software online, vote for super girl, and some websites even use online currency to pay the moderator
2. Outside the business system, because indivial virtual currency has become the "equivalent" of RMB, or even "online RMB", which shows the role of "network hard currency", the illegal gains of illegal gambling can be cashed into RMB, which further promotes online gambling
Traditional e-commerce is different from cross-border e-commerce in terms of transaction subject, payment system, logistics transportation time and cost
Compared with traditional domestic e-commerce, cross-border e-commerce is faced with complicated customs proceres and trade policies in import and export trade. Such as: import and export tariff, customs declaration, inspection and quarantine, etc P>2, the payment system is different.
's traditional e-commerce payment and settlement system is mature, mainly using online bank payment and Alipay, WeChat and other three party payment methods, convenient and fast, low cost, short cycle (more than 15 days). Cross border e-commerce payment system is relatively immature, especially B2B large-scale trade payment. The transaction amount paid by international payment instruments exceeds 3% to 5%. There is exchange rate risk and the repayment period can be as long as 1-6 months. Cross border e-commerce sellers are facing huge financial pressure
Traditional domestic e-commerce transportation is fast, because China's logistics system has been highly developed. Cross border e-commerce has high cost, low service level and high loss rate. Some of the time limit is often more than 15-30 days. Compared with the domestic large-scale e-commerce enterprises of more than 5 yuan and 3 kg, the logistics cost of cross-border e-commerce often takes g as the unit, which is much higher than the domestic express delivery cost. Logistics cost is higher than the value of goods. In addition, e to the complexity of international logistics and the highly underdeveloped logistics system of some countries, the loss of international express is also very common1. Different operation environments
the biggest difference between cross-border e-commerce and ordinary e-commerce lies in the operation environment. Cross border e-commerce belongs to the foreign trade operation environment, which may not only be in English speaking countries, but also in Japanese if you go to Japan. Or you operate European station, you need to know German, French and so on. In addition to language differences, it is more important for cross-border e-commerce to take into account national cultural differences. For example, how do foreigners like their procts? Secondly, they have a lot of time difference. Suppose you do the U.S. station. Suppose it's 3 p.m. and it's early morning in foreign countries. So time difference also needs to be considered
in addition, cross-border e-commerce should pay special attention to many festivals abroad. Foreigners also shop ring festivals. For example, Black Friday in the United States is similar to double 11 in China. So you need to understand and be familiar with foreign language environment and foreign culture. This is the first challenge for cross-border e-commerce operation. You need to adapt to different operating environments
2. Different platform operation strategies
we should be familiar with domestic common e-commerce platforms, such as Taobao, Jingdong, pinoo, etc. Cross border e-commerce mainly uses some foreign shopping platforms, such as Amazon, express, wish and so on. As everyone who runs Amazon knows, Amazon is very light on stores and heavy on procts, which is a little different from the domestic Alibaba series e-commerce platforms. The reason is that Amazon added the A9 search engine algorithm in 2004. Its purpose is to ensure that the procts that consumers like can retrieve transactions and form orders, Amazon website search engine is the world's top shopping platform search engine, its A9 algorithm also ensures that Amazon always focuses on procts, not stores and brands
Amazon's investment in platform R & D is very high, and the strength of platform R & D and research results in great differences between the modes and effects of domestic e-commerce operation and cross-border e-commerce operation. A certain treasure or a certain cat needs to spend a lot of time on marketing, such as advertising, marketing, drainage and some special activities. You need to plan and even set up a special team to brush the bill
as long as you focus on the operation of Amazon's procts, then the A9 algorithm will have enough strong technical strength to help you find customers and promote them. Therefore, I can't say that it can't succeed by relying solely on marketing and draining orders. I can only say that it will become more and more difficult for you, because Amazon is one level higher than domestic e-commerce in technology, He will judge whether you have done some grey operation, which is very easy, so I suggest you not to brush the order as far as possible, and don't take chances, because Amazon is a platform of light store and heavy proct. As long as you do your proct well and do a good job in proct operation, you can succeed
3. Different consumption power
the exchange rate difference of euro is high. Due to different consumption concepts and costs in different countries, the same proct will be sold for 10 RMB in China and 10 euro in Germany. The middle exchange rate difference is 75.8 RMB, which is very reasonable for foreign users, excluding the cost of packaging and international logistics, The profit of the intermediate platform is more than ten times higher than that of the domestic platform. Therefore, from this point of view, as long as cross-border e-commerce is well done, its profit margin is very large
the above is the difference between cross-border e-commerce and ordinary e-commerce. It can be seen that the advantages of operating cross-border e-commerce are very significant. However, there are both opportunities and challenges for cross-border e-commerce. If we want to manage cross-border e-commerce well, we must first change our operation ideas and strategies, and effectively improve the quality of our procts and services. Only in this way can cross-border e-commerce be well operated. Of course, choosing a cross store platform can help traditional e-commerce transform and do a good job in cross-border e-commerce. There is no need to open another store, find their own source of goods, and find their own logistics service providers. They can do a good job in cross-border e-commerce with the minimum cost.
The differences are: different definitions, different business models and different main classifications
1. The definition is different: overseas purchasing agents or frequent entry-exit indivials help consumers buy goods; Cross border e-commerce refers to the transaction subjects belonging to different customs
2. Business model: overseas purchasing agents deliver goods by express delivery, or directly bring goods back, or bring goods from home to other countries. Cross border e-commerce is an international business activity in which cross-border e-commerce achieves transactions, makes payment and settlement, and delivers goods and completes transactions through cross-border logistics
3. The main categories are different: there are two kinds of overseas purchasing agents, one is private purchasing agent, the other is official purchasing agent; Cross border e-commerce is divided into export cross-border e-commerce and import cross-border e-commerce
extended information:
advantages of foreign purchasing agent:
1. Transportation: in 2014, 70% of foreign websites opened international transportation business, which means that they can mail to China. The website will open the international transportation type selection on the page where you are ready to pay, and there will be a discount on the postage of Shengyou
After sales: foreign commercial credit system is very developed, websites have return instructions, there are 30-60 days of unconditional return rules, don't like to buy things, can return, but whether it is foreign purchasing network or foreign online shop in the refund to dect the cost of international transportation3. Tax payment: according to the customs regulations, except for electronic procts and condiments, all imported mail order procts with the tax amount less than 500 yuan are ty-free, and the customs release them ty-free
Jingdong
pinoo
in fact, they are all online stores,
first
the sales areas are different
, foreign and domestic shopping platforms, and cross-border e-commerce refers to some foreign shopping platforms, such as Amazon<
secondly
different selection methods
, cross-border e-commerce selection should consider the national conditions of the target country and the needs of local people, and the selection blank is relatively more than that in China,
thirdly
the profit is different, and the value of goods after export is different from that in China, so the profit is greater than that in China< br />
answer: Micro commerce and cross-border e-commerce
is it difficult to do micro commerce
it's hard to find good procts. Before, all kinds of procts full of friends came and went quickly, and there was no after-sales guarantee. In addition, more and more smart people are engaged in wechat business, which means that it is becoming an intelligence intensive instry, which puts forward higher requirements for planning and creative promotion. It is difficult to play with the complex and changeable wechat business without timely catching the hot spots and the ability to adapt to the market dynamics
many micro businesses are full of enthusiasm, but they don't know how to carry out publicity. They fight alone, and no one helps or takes them with them. As a result, they are broken and disheartened. In the end, he will become a person with no money, no job and no fighting spirit
development trend of cross-border e-commerce
from the perspective of export, cross-border e-commerce export sellers are expanding from Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the central and western regions, and are expanding from 3C and other low gross profit standard procts to new categories such as clothing, outdoor procts, health and beauty, home gardening and auto parts, which will provide new space for the development of China's export e-commerce. From the perspective of import, with the continuous entry of emerging markets such as Brazil and Russia, as well as the popularization of Internet technology, the continuous improvement of infrastructure and the continuous liberalization of policies, the space of China's export e-commerce will be further expanded. The research shows that with the increasing of international per capita purchasing power, the increase of network penetration, the progress of logistics level and the improvement of network payment, China's cross-border e-commerce will still maintain a compound annual growth rate of 30% in the next few years, and the transaction volume is expected to reach about 20% of the total import and export trade in 2017
seize the opportunity
although many people also think of doing cross-border e-commerce. However, it seems that there is a business ringing in my heart, "can cross-border e-commerce work? Can you make money? " Have you ever thought that when you are hesitant, this kind of business opportunity of making money will be seized by other visionary people, just like the wechat business in the past few years, we all made money, but there are too many people to do it first, even we have no soup to drink. Now the cross-border e-commerce is the wechat business in the past few years
proct selection
how to seize such an opportunity. First of all, it is very important to choose procts that meet the needs of foreign customers. As indivials and small teams, how to choose cross-border retail procts
1. The choice of proct price
for the proct price, generally, the proct with a single proct price between 50 and 500 US dollars is better. First of all, international freight should be taken into account in cross-border transactions. If the unit price of goods is too low and the freight is much higher than the proct price, the buyer's desire to buy will also decline. Moreover, the unit price of the proct is too low, and I can't make any profit. I'm tired of doing it. Low price procts are easy to attract competitors
moreover, if the unit price of procts is too high, such as some luxury goods and valuables, it is difficult to form a trust relationship, and it is not easy to urge buyers to place orders
the selling price of a proct needs to have enough profit, and the procts in this price range have enough profit space
2. Selection of proct types
when selecting proct types, it is most appropriate to choose those "small, convenient and light" procts, or consider the freight price of international express delivery. Procts with too large volume and light weight will proce selling weight. In express delivery, they will proce selling price, so the freight will not be worthwhile. Procts should also be convenient for transportation, especially those that are not easy to be damaged in transportation. Otherwise, the return and exchange of goods will be a headache, resulting in transaction disputes. One needs to invest manpower to solve the problem, and the other's transnational freight is not as good as domestic freight. It is likely that freight will lose a lot once and for all
cross border e-commerce operation
in fact, whether you are a novice or a so-called expert in cross-border e-commerce for many years, you must understand that there are many differences and risks in the actual operation of cross-border e-commerce, but one thing remains unchanged: you want to take care of customers' needs and give them what they want. On this basis, the correct and full use of the existing cross-border e-commerce platform, I believe you will be able to achieve the desired destination.
