Does China's e-money use blockchain
fiat money: it means that it does not represent real goods or goods, and the issuer has not cashed the currency into physical obligation; A currency that becomes legal currency only by government decrees. The value of fiat money comes from the owner's belief that money will maintain its purchasing power in the future. Money itself has no intrinsic value, that is to say, when the paper money comes into being, legal tender is essentially the negotiable paper money stipulated by law
the legal currency of the people's Republic of China is RMB, and the people's Bank of China is the national authority in charge of the management of RMB, which is responsible for the design, printing and issuance of RMB—— From the Internet
e-money: in fact, it is the electronization of legal money, including our common bank card, online banking, e-cash, etc; There are also third party payments developed in recent years, such as Alipay and WeChat payment. No matter what the form of these electronic money is and through which institutions it circulates, its original source is the legal money issued by the central bank
virtual currency: virtual currency refers to non real currency, and its existing state is intangible. The most important difference between virtual currency and electronic currency in narrow sense is the difference of issuers. Virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency, and its original issuer is not the central bank. For example, game currency, q-coin, and ticket counting are mainly limited to circulation in a specific virtual environment
digital currency: digital currency which applies the latest digital network technologies such as blockchain, has the characteristics of Distributed Accounting, unique encryption technology, decentralized settlement, etc. Of course, digital tools with these characteristics must be supported by national credit if they want to become sovereign currency or legal tender
therefore, digital currency must be currency; In today's social system, money must also be sovereign money or legal tender. Secondly, digital currency must have the basic attributes and main functions of currency.
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.
As of November 11, 2020, China's e-money system is under development
in August 2019, the relevant person in charge of the people's Bank of China said in public that the development of digital currency system is under way and the "digital RMB era" is coming
Wang Xin, director of Central Bank Research Bureau and monetary gold and silver Bureau, said that the central bank's digital currency mainly substitutes cash to a certain extent in China, which will help optimize the central bank's monetary payment function and improve the central bank's monetary status and the effectiveness of monetary policy
extended data:
nowadays, China is still in the stage of accelerating the research and development of digital currency. For example, the central bank held a working video conference in the second half of 2019 on August 2, calling for "accelerating the pace of research and development of China's legal digital currency"
and the opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on supporting Shenzhen to build a leading demonstration zone of socialism with Chinese characteristics issued in August 2019 clearly stated that "We support the development of innovative applications such as digital currency research and mobile payment in Shenzhen"
it is understood that in the future, the central bank will not issue digital currency directly to the public, but will adopt a two-tier operation system, that is, the central bank will first convert the digital currency to banks or other operating institutions, and then these institutions will convert it to the public. In the early stage, the central bank's legal digital currency may pilot in some scenarios, and then further promote it when it is more mature. For the sake of safety, it will do a good job in the design of pilot exit mechanism
