Currency and blockchain construction in China
thank you
to know the difference between them, we need to know the definition of them first
digital currency: short for digiccy, which is the abbreviation of "digital
currency", is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digiccy
blockchain: blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies. Blockchain is essentially a decentralized database, also known as the trust machine
from the above definition, we can know that blockchain is a technology, and digital currency is a kind of virtual currency
digital currency is not equal to blockchain
many people will understand blockchain as blockchain. Here I want to correct that digital currency is not equal to blockchain. Digital currency is only an application of blockchain, and some digital currencies may not be applied to blockchain technology.
blockchain is the core supporting technology of digital cryptocurrency system represented by bitcoin. The core advantage of blockchain technology is decentralization. It can realize point-to-point transaction, coordination and cooperation based on decentralized credit in a distributed system without mutual trust by means of data encryption, time stamp, distributed consensus and economic incentive, so as to solve the common high cost, low cost and low cost of centralized institutions Low efficiency and data storage insecurity provide solutions
the application fields of blockchain include digital currency, token, finance, anti-counterfeiting traceability, privacy protection, supply chain, entertainment, etc. with the popularity of blockchain and bitcoin, many related top domain names have been registered, which has a great impact on the domain name instry
taking the tourism instry as an example, blockchain applications mainly focus on tourism travel, tourism community reviews, digital identity management, credit consumption management, tracking pilot's professional certificate and qualification, loyalty plan of hotels and airlines, reservation management and consumption points management. In addition, blockchain also has applications in finance, games, entertainment and other fields.
blockchain 2.0 technology application represented by smart contract
the era of blockchain 3.0 has come. Behind the operation of all walks of life, we can see the mode of collaborative operation of blockchain. Therefore, blockchain is bound to widely and profoundly change the way of human life, so the whole life service will enter the era of blockchain. In the process of Internet development, blockchain + physical instry, blockchain e-commerce and blockchain community operation can be applied to blockchain technology.
the difference between digital currency, electronic currency and virtual currency
in fact, digital currency is a kind of indexed RMB, a legal encrypted digital currency and an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Digital currency can be divided into two types: non cryptocurrency (e-gold, XRP) and cryptocurrency (bitcoin)
it can not be completely equivalent to the virtual currency in the virtual world, because it is often used for real goods and services transactions, not limited to online games and other virtual spaces. It is different from Alipay and WeChat, and Alipay, WeChat payment and mobile phone banks are all electronic money, not digital money. The popular digital currencies in 2016 include bitcoin, lightcoin, bitstock, etc. At present, there are thousands of digital currencies issued all over the world
virtual currency refers to the non real currency, especially the currency in the network virtual economy. The issuer is not the central bank, and it can only circulate in a specific virtual environment. In the case of the connection between virtual and reality, virtual currency has its real value. Well known virtual currencies, such as online currency of Internet company, q-coin of Tencent company, q-point, roll counting of Shanda company, u-coin meter ticket launched by Sina (used for igome game), chivalrous Yuanbao (used for chivalrous road game), and grain silver (used for bixue Qingtian game). Digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency. For example, bitcoin is illegal digital currency
since the beginning of the year, the relevant person in charge of the people's Bank of China has said that the future of mobile payment is bright, and the central bank is actively studying the relevant research results and practical experience at home and abroad to strive for the early issuance of digital currency. At the digital currency seminar of the people's Bank of China held on January 20, the relevant person in charge of the people's Bank of China disclosed that the central bank has set up a special research team since 2014 to conct in-depth research on the digital currency issuance and business operation framework, key technologies, circulation environment, etc., and strive to launch the digital currency issued by the central bank as soon as possible. At present, the research has achieved phased results
what benefits will digital currency bring to our lives
for this problem, the relevant person in charge of the central bank said that if the digital currency is successfully issued, it will bring many conveniences: it can effectively rece the high cost of the issuance and circulation of traditional paper money, and improve the convenience and transparency of economic transaction activities; It can rece money laundering, tax evasion and other illegal and criminal acts, enhance the central bank's control over money supply and money circulation, better support economic and social development, and help the comprehensive realization of Inclusive Finance; It helps to build a new financial infrastructure, further improve the payment system, improve the efficiency of payment and clearing, and promote the upgrading of economic quality and efficiency. More digital currencies can focus on bitMom

bitcoin is the most well-known blockchain as an encryption currency that uses blockchain technology to realize alternative payment. Bitcoin is a kind of unlicensed blockchain, also known as public blockchain, which does not restrict the identity of users who consume bitcoin or participate in verifying the authenticity of transfer blocks in the blockchain (an energy intensive process, also known as "mining"). These miners get token, or bitcoin, in return, and given that everyone can view the block (though anonymously), the blockchain itself is somewhat transparent
bitcoin is controversial and banned by many countries e to user anonymity to a large extent. However, it is worth noting that the anonymity and energy use of bitcoin are its own characteristics, not the characteristics of the whole blockchain technology.
