The chain is not decentralized
1、 Different definitions:
1. virtual currency:
virtual currency refers to non real currency
digital currency:digital currency is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digiccy
3. Cryptocurrency:
cryptocurrency is a kind of transaction medium that uses cryptography principles to ensure transaction security and control the creation of transaction units
4. Token (token):
a kind of article whose shape and size are similar to currency, but the scope of use is limited and has no currency effect, and its token is the homonym of token in English
Second, the characteristics are different:1; It can also be said that virtual currency is personalized currency. In another way, it can also be called information currency
2. Digital currency:
is an unregulated and digital currency, which is usually issued and managed by developers and accepted and used by members of specific virtual communities
Cryptocurrency:cryptocurrency is based on the decentralized consensus mechanism, which is opposite to the banking and financial system relying on the centralized regulatory system
4. Token (token):
usually needs to be exchanged for money, used in shops, playgrounds, mass transportation and other places, as a voucher to use services and exchange goods
extended data
at present, digital currency is more like an investment proct, because it lacks a strong guarantee agency to maintain its price stability, and its role as a value measure has not yet appeared, so it can not be used as a means of payment. As an investment proct, digital currency cannot develop without trading platform, operating company and investment company
digital currency is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the blockchain technology it relies on has been decentralized and can be used in other fields except digital currency, which is one of the reasons why bitcoin is popular; On the other hand, if digital currency is widely used by the public as a kind of currency, it will have a huge impact on the effectiveness of monetary policy, financial infrastructure, financial market and financial stability
With the rapid development of human society, many people find that decentralization is a trend and also represents a new proction relationship. This is a new kind of proction relationship that is suitable for the business or business logic based on the highly developed and market-oriented human society and economy, equality and mutual trust. Since the decentralized trust mechanism blockchain has been established, many intermediaries will also face upgrading and innovation. For example, "Wall Street", a traditional medium which is essentially a financial intermediary, may soon develop into a new model
decentralization has changed more than one financial instry. In the consensus of China's excellent Internet company "Xunlei", science and technology is developing from centralization to decentralization. They are proud that their first P2SP download technology is a kind of decentralized technology. At that time, blockchain was not widely recognized. Xunlei believes that decentralized technology has many advantages. Its solution is light weight and low cost; It respects privacy and doesn't have an intermediate database to know everything; It accords with the development of society; It is a measure of environmental protection and sharing. In 2014, Xunlei made up its mind to do decentralized cloud computing, also known as shared computing, which is to distribute the computing needs to thousands of households and use the idle resources of users
such an attempt has got a very good market response, because the marginal cost of shared computing is lower than that of cloud computing, which can more effectively solve the social contradiction between the shortage of social computing resources and the high cost of computing, and rece the operating costs of enterprises, including Xiaomi, Aiqi and Xiongmao live broadcasting, which have become the customers of thunderbolt shared computing. In fact, the demand for computing in the current society is growing explosively. Whether it is artificial intelligence, big data, 4K, VR, the demand for network is higher and higher, the speed of computing is higher and higher, and the demand for speed is higher and higher. If you want to solve all the needs, you need to prepare sufficient computing resources. The player reward scheme is born to solve this problem
the significance of the player reward program is that in the shared computing ecosystem, Xunlei has joined the blockchain technology to share the bandwidth with the players through the cloud intelligent hardware Users of idle resources such as storage and computing power will issue the digital asset chain gram (original gamer coin) based on blockchain technology. Users participate in this plan for free, and they also voluntarily contribute idle computing resources to the society. Users actively contribute idle resources, Xunlei payment chain rewards users, Xunlei then packages and sells resources to enterprises, and a supply chain based on shared computing is completed. In this process, decentralized blockchain technology plays an important role
of course, complete decentralization lacks supervision, and there is a certain risk of being used. Therefore, the blockchain chosen by chaink is "alliance chain", not a completely decentralized public chain like bitcoin and Ethereum. Therefore, Xunlei still has the right of supervision. In order to rece and avoid the occurrence of malicious events of accounting nodes, and to ensure that users' transactions enter the block as soon as possible, Xunlei is more cautious in selecting accounting nodes. In the initial stage, Xunlei will choose its own servers with good network connectivity and stability, as well as its partners' servers with good network connectivity and stability, After the performance and security of the next generation of gamer cloud hardware are further improved, the gamer cloud node distributed in the user's family will be selected as the accounting node and constantly changed. At the same time, Xunlei united government actively cracked down on speculation, announced the firm no ICO, cracked down on third-party transactions, adopted the real name system, unlimited pre-sale activities and other means to resolutely curb the risk of speculation, so as to ensure the stability and sustainability of the player cloud and chain ecology
with the emergence of blockchain applications such as chaink, we can see that decentralized technology can make the instry no longer become so extreme, and all kinds of opportunities will burst out because of the introction of new mechanisms, which is of positive significance to the instry and the whole society
coinbase said it was aware of the existence of the judgment and would make a formal statement shortly
and the US government is celebrating this victory. Director of the IRS, John J; John Koskinen said:
like other properties, virtual currency transactions are taxable‘ The purpose of John Doe's summons is to ensure that citizens in emerging economies can abide by tax laws and fulfill their responsibilities
the coinbase user information that IRS applied to view was from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2015. Coinbase said it would try its best to protect users' privacy when it first received the subpoena
as we all know, the attitudes and regulatory policies of countries around the world towards digital currencies such as bitcoin are not the same, and the tax policies of different countries are also different
on October 22, 2015, the European Court of Justice ruled that transactions in bitcoin and other virtual currencies would be exempt from value added tax (VAT). This decision is a major victory for the bitcoin trading community
generally, Japanese people need to pay 8% consumption tax to buy bitcoin on the digital currency exchange. In October this year, it was reported that the Japanese government planned to cancel the consumption tax generated by the purchase of virtual currencies such as bitcoin next spring
since 2015, the IRS has regarded bitcoin and other digital currencies as taxable assets. Recently, the IRS inspector general has been responsible for the Department's gaps in digital currency taxation. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) has raised similar questions.
