China's digital currency officially launched

1. As early as 2014, the people's Bank of China has set up a special research group to study the central bank's digital currency. Until today, the central bank's digital currency has a real sense of landing. China may become the first economy to issue sovereign digital currency, and 2020 is expected to be the first year of global central bank digital currency

the DCEP issued by the central bank is a digital currency, which is very similar to Alipay and WeChat payment. But it is different from Alipay and WeChat, because it is more like paper money, and the third party can not get the information from both sides of the transaction. It is anonymous and centralization, and the endorsement of the state can be assured.

what is the use of central bank digital currency

from the perspective of the central bank, if the central bank wants to put in funds, it doesn't need these scientific and technological means to trigger conditions, and it could have done it

for users, they have one more option when paying. Users only need to download the central bank's digital currency wallet app, and then associate with their existing bank accounts to exchange the previous banknotes into the corresponding digital currency

for the current mobile payment, users are still accustomed to using Alipay and WeChat to pay. But how to say? Personally, Alipay was originally a professional payment software, but after all these years of development, the Alipay interface is extremely complex, and the user experience is not very friendly.
as for wechat payment, wechat started from social networking at first, and has evolved from professional social software to comprehensive software in recent years. To put it plainly, whether it is Alipay or WeChat, it seems that it has deviated from its original intention. This may bring opportunities to the central bank's digital currency

when will central bank digital currency become popular

according to the bank, considering that the early digital RMB is only limited to the pilot, it will not be issued in large quantities and promoted comprehensively in the short term, and the speed of currency circulation will also maintain a normal level

many people say that digital money has no effect on Alipay. I beg to differ. As Ma Yun said, sometimes it's just a document that beats you. What is the impact of the central bank's digital currency on Alipay? Let's wait and see.

2.

The people's Bank of China has not issued digital currency for the time being, so there is no legal digital currency in China at present. At present, digital currency has not been recognized in China, let alone legal

at present, all kinds of digital currencies circulating in the market are basically on the edge of the law. China maintains a neutral attitude, but does not like speculation, which is also the basic attitude of the central bank{ RRRRR}

digital currency is abbreviated as digiccy, which is the abbreviation of "digital currency" in English and the alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digiccy

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 currency, such as bitcoin, lightcoin and ppcoin, is an electronic currency created, issued and circulated by 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

3. This problem is very professional
we are ready to discover digital currency, but it is still in the planning and brewing stage, and there is no formal issue
this project will upgrade the existing currency discovery mechanism, and each unit of currency is given its own special identification mechanism
in addition, the bank account, Zhang Sanhui gives you 100, Li Sihui gives you 100, under the current system, there is no essential difference between the two 100, For you, for the system, the bank account is the same bookkeeping symbol, but under the digital currency mechanism, the system can correctly identify which unit currency, that is, the 200 yuan, is given by Zhang San and which by Li Si. Note that this is in the electronic system, not the actual paper currency, which is equivalent to giving DNA to each unit currency

4. The news has refuted the rumor
the central bank has not issued any digital currency, nor has it developed any app

5.

A few days ago, some media reported that in the future, once the legal digital currency really runs, the application scenarios will penetrate into all aspects of social life, but its real launch will take time

At the same time, the issuance of legal digital currency will greatly increase the number of point-to-point transactions, bypassing the original regulatory system to a certain extent, which is easy to facilitate illegal transactions. As digital currency makes it very convenient to convert deposits into cash, financial panic and financial risk will accelerate the spread once they occur, which increases the difficulty of supervision

In addition, in the process of using legal digital currency, a large number of user data and transaction information will be obtained. How to store and manage these data to prevent the disclosure and illegal use of user information is also an important challenge. No matter from the perspective of technology or security, it is difficult to have a great impact on monetary policy and payment mode in the short term

6. The news that the Central Bank of China will issue digital currency has been reported in authoritative media such as NetEase Finance, Phoenix, Sina and Sohu. This is very big news for the digital currency circle, but the impact on the currency circle is very limited. The price fluctuation of bitcoin and counterfeit currency is small
because the digital currency to be issued by the central bank will be ten years later at the earliest, and the design concepts of this digital currency are different from those of bitcoin, Ruitai, Laite and Weimeng.

7.

It's illegal

the central bank indicated that it has not issued legal digital currency, nor authorized any institutions and enterprises to issue legal digital currency, and there is no promotion team. At present, the so-called "digital currency" in the market is not legal digital currency

In addition, the so-called "digital currency" launched by some institutions and enterprises and the so-called promotion of the central bank's issuance of digital currency may involve pyramid selling and fraud

extended information:

virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency, and its original issuer is not the central bank. This kind of virtual currency is mainly limited to circulation in a specific virtual environment. Digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency

in 2013, the central bank, together with five ministries and commissions, issued the notice on prevention of bitcoin risks, which clearly defined non legal digital currencies such as bitcoin as virtual commodities, which do not exist in the form of currency and legal currency
