Engineering principles of digital currency
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

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
Digital currency is an unregulated and digital currency, which is usually issued and managed by developers and accepted and used by members of a specific virtual community. More generally speaking, digital currency is actually a commodity
just like gold, it took more than 200 years to be graally recognized by the world. In the early days, many people questioned gold's ability to store value. If we take digital currency as a substitute, people's questioning attitude towards gold in the past is equivalent to many people's attitude towards digital currency now

digital currency is a balance between financial security and innovation ability. Financial instry should have clear access threshold. Digital currency involves finance, so it must have clear access threshold. The enterprise qualification of blockchain and digital currency needs to be reviewed and an access system set. One of the core of supervision is that blockchain enterprises must have qualified technical personnel
for example, enterprises of different levels in the construction instry need different levels and numbers of registered structural engineers to ensure the safety of buildings and bridges, which can also be used for reference in the supervision of digital currency. In addition, investors need to refer to the requirements of the "measures for the appropriateness of securities and futures investors" issued by the CSRC, and only those who meet certain conditions can participate in the investment
From 2015 to 2017, the price of bitcoin increased from more than $100 to $17000, a 100 fold increase. Today, the market value of various numerical currencies is more than 700 billion US dollars. The myth of their benefits is not nonsense
but there are many things behind the chaotic digital currency. You may ask why air currency can be listed on the stock exchange? It's very simple. The exchange also has to charge a part of the fee. Raise the price and then sell it to make money. So the question is, how to identify air currency
first of all, you need to look at the projects behind the digital currency and see what their team background is. Generally speaking, teams without experience in the instry tend to earn money, but how much experience do they have? It is better to be able to participate in the construction of Ethereum and bitstock communities. Such a team is often more reliable. This requires investors to have a certain screening ability to identify good or bad
secondly, there is no way to implement many projects. How can we identify them? In addition to the ability of the team, we also need to see the feasibility, which requires us to systematically learn the knowledge of bitcoin and blockchain. For example, Zhu Jiawei, the COO of fire coin network, learned the blockchain from 0 to 1, and clearly described the development process of bitcoin and blockchain in the form of audio and text. Besides, don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott's "blockchain revolution" are worthy of careful taste
moreover, the bubble of digital money is very large nowadays. In the bubble, it is not difficult to make money, but the key is not to be greedy. Long term holding is not good, but it can be operated in a short term. You can make money if you want. However, the key is that people are all profit-making and greed is their nature. Therefore, many people do not accept what they see. They originally made money, but later they lost everything. The gain is not worth the loss. Therefore, it is necessary to control greed
blockchain technology has been questioned by the collapse of the centralized currency exchange, but its potential to solve the trust and centralization problems of the existing information architecture has attracted a lot of attention. Blockchain technology first gained great popularity in the field of bitcoin and digital currency. It uses a single shared ledger to store information. It is no longer to let a single central organization obtain the account book, but to obtain multiple copies of the same distributed account book by different nodes in the peer-to-peer network. Shenzhen yuanzhongrui blockchain technology adopts advanced encryption technology to ensure that any new information in the account book can not be tampered, unless it meets some preset parameters. Moreover, this kind of Ledger has stronger defense against external attacks, such as network attacks, because this decentralized system does not have a single point of failure with high cost of centralized information architecture. At the same time, all trusted nodes can affect any modification of the ledger, provided that they meet the specific preset parameters. These changes will be immediately reflected in the ledger, and all trusted nodes can obtain relevant data to make correct decisions. It can also adjust the design of the distributed ledger, create a hierarchical system within the architecture, and configure appropriate access rights and different levels of authority
blockchain and distributed ledger technology are concive to change the management mode of land registration. At present, the credibility of the real estate market is at the lowest level, which is attributed to the inefficient and opaque property registration system. The system relies on the centralized acquisition of land registration and corresponding property transaction information. Using distributed ledger technology to obtain, manage and modify these information can ensure that the public will not be infringed by land transaction fraud. Similarly, distributed ledger can simplify and integrate cross instry and cross regulatory compliance process, because it contains real-time compliance information needed by government departments, banks, investors and other third parties. By integrating data points of multiple projects and providing feedback on beneficiaries' project participation, we can better track the implementation of social welfare plans
at present, the biggest problems of technology development include: transformation cost of unique data storage system, data reliability verification of network nodes or all levels, privacy and security dimension of decentralized data acquisition, and revision of information technology act. What's important is that blockchain technology will change the way the government interacts with citizens, and this huge change is bound to be resisted by civil servants. These are all possible problems. We should take immediate action to formulate a regulatory framework to guide application development in addition to adopting blockchain technology.
