there are platform coins in the coin circle, corresponding to HT, BNB, MX
digital currency is also different from virtual currency. For example, the well-known Q coin and the money recharged in various games are virtual currency. These virtual currencies can only be purchased with real currency, but cannot be converted into real currency
in the world, bitcoin is probably the most famous digital currency. In addition, there are "Wright coin", "Dog Coin" and "Yuan Bao coin" in China.
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.

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.
Encrypted digital assets: encrypted digital currency is not issued by legal tender institutions and is not controlled by the central bank. It is based on the open source code of a group of equations calculated by computers all over the world. It is generated by a large number of operations of computer graphics card and CPU, and uses the design of cryptography to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The design based on cryptography can make the cryptocurrency only be owned by real users
encrypted digital asset is also a kind of gold existing in the network world, which is a kind of encrypted digital currency based on the block chain technology and using the digital encryption principle. In a sense, it has the same circulation function as ordinary currency. Encrypted digital assets apply blockchain technology to the global financial field, which makes consumers all over the world make business investment through encrypted digital assets, and create a new business model of win-win between investors and users, which is a trend for development
virtual currency:
virtual currency (enterprise currency) is self issued by companies or private indivials. It can be issued indefinitely, and it does not need to be obtained by solving the equation through the CPU program of computer graphics card. Because it can be issued unlimited according to the market demand, it does not have the value of collection and appreciation. There is no ore pool website, no original code. Price can be manipulated, mostly one-way relationship
virtual property refers to the narrow sense of digital and non materialized property forms, including a series of information procts such as online games, e-mail, network paging, etc. Including the character image formed in the long-term virtual life, which can not be converted to the virtual property in real life and the narrow sense of digital and non materialized property form, it includes a series of information procts such as online games, e-mail, network paging, etc. However, e to the prevalence of online games, virtual property to a large extent refers to the property existing in the online game space, including the level of game account, game currency, various equipment owned by game characters, etc. these virtual property can be converted into real property under certain conditions.
The differences between e-money and virtual money are as follows:
1. Electronic money refers to using a certain amount of cash or deposit to exchange from the issuer and obtain data representing the same amount, or through the quick payment service launched by the bank and the third party to transfer the balance in the bank through some electronic ways, so that transactions can be carried out. Strictly speaking, it is a kind of currency that consumers use the bank's Internet banking service to store value and make quick payment to the issuers of electronic currency, and make consumers trade electronically through media (two-dimensional code or hardware equipment)
Virtual currency refers to non real currency. Well known virtual currencies, such as online currency of Internet company, q-coin of Tencent company, q-point and voucher of Shanda company, micro currency launched by Sina (used for micro games, Sina reading, etc.), chivalrous Yuanbao (used for chivalrous road game), silver grain (used for bixue Qingtian game), and popular digital currencies in 2013 include bitcoin, Laite coin, infinite coin, quark coin, zeta coin, etc Barbecue coins, pennies (Internet), invisible gold bars, red coins, prime coins. At present, hundreds of digital currencies are issued all over the world. Popular in the circle & quot; The legend of "bitcoin, Wright silver, infinite copper, pennies aluminum" The detailed explanation of electronic currency is as follows:1. Concept: it is an encrypted serial number representing cash, which can be used to represent the currency value of various amounts in reality. With the transformation from paper-based economy to digital economy, e-cash will become the mainstream
2. Features: anonymity, transaction cost saving, transmission cost saving, low holding risk, flexible and convenient payment, anti-counterfeiting and anti repetition, non traceability
There are two kinds of e-cash: one is based on the Internet and keeps the binary data representing the value of money in the hard disk of the computer terminal; One is the electronic wallet that keeps the monetary value in the IC card and can be circulated without the bank payment system4. Definition: consumers pay traditional money to the issuers of electronic money, and the issuers store the equal value of traditional money in the electronic devices held by consumers in electronic form
Mobile payment means that mobile clients use electronic procts such as mobile phones to make e-money payment. Mobile payment creates a new payment method and makes e-money popular. Because of the advantages of convenient and fast payment, eliminating counterfeit money, no change and so on, it is loved by many people< The Ministry of Commerce issued the "overall plan for the pilot project of deepening the innovation and development of service trade in China", and officially announced that the number of digital currency has expanded from the original 4 pilot cities to 28 , which means that digital currency is coming towards us. The same virtual currency and bitcoin, so these virtual currency can replace the status of paper money
Therefore, it is essentially no different from the paper currency RMB, and will not be wildly hyped like bitcoin. In a short period of time, virtual currency can not completely replace traditional currency. There are mainly two constraints: the first is the user's will, not everyone is used to this payment method; the second is the satisfaction of technical conditions, because the speed of transaction payment is mainly limited by the technical realization, and the goal of digital currency is only to replace part of the cash in circulation. So for a long time, it should be used in parallel with banknotes
