Adverse effects of digital currency

1.

Yin Zhentao, deputy director of the law and Finance Research Office of the Financial Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that digital currency faces two risks. The first is the technical level. Digital currency relies on blockchain technology and a system, which will make it suffer from security impact, such as hacker attacks on computer systems. We have seen many practical problems in this process

Zhao Zhanzhan, a special researcher of intellectual property research center of China University of political science and law, believes that digital currency has anonymity, quickness and irrevocability. In addition, bitcoin and other digital currencies have high circulation in the world, so many criminals use digital currency as a new money laundering channel. Moreover, there are many different ways to realize money laundering through digital currency. Generally speaking, the probability of new money laundering being found and investigated is lower than before. Many countries have no effective means and technology to combat money laundering through digital currency. These factors lead to criminals prefer this way of money laundering

2. Legal risks faced by digital currency: (1) at the macro level, there are legal risks, systematic risks and consumer protection. At present, the legislative problems of e-commerce and e-payment have not been solved, the concept of e-currency and related provisions need to be clarified, and many laws and regulations have not been followed up. Secondly, there is a systemic risk caused by the collapse of a single issuing institution. If a certain issuing institution loses confidence in e-money e to its poor management, other e-money issuing institutions will also face run risk. Moreover, in the absence of standardized supervision, it is difficult for the public to effectively identify the qualification and credit level of issuers. How to effectively prompt risks and protect the rights and interests of the public has become a difficult problem. In addition, the concealment, rapidity and cross-border nature of Internet payment make e-money an inevitable money laundering tool for criminals 2 At the micro level, there are technical risks and credit risks in the main body of e-money issuance. The issuers of e-money in China include banks, non bank financial institutions, Internet enterprises and other enterprises. Due to the weak financial professional foundation of some issuers, especially the lack of mandatory technical security standards in China, there are serious management loopholes and security risks in e-money issuers. System software or hardware failures will affect the availability of e-money. Secondly, the unreasonable structure of assets and liabilities and high concentration of investment will lead to the lack of liquidity and the risk of default. In addition, the payment and circulation of e-money rely heavily on all kinds of networks, and there are all kinds of operational risks, such as deliberate embezzlement of other people's accounts, internal crimes of issuing institutions and malicious intrusion of hackers, which will damage the interests of e-money holders. Bitcoin, Ruitai and other digital currencies are suitable.

3. The future world will be a digital world, and money will develop from paper money in the past to digital money in the future, which is a trend. Because in order to adapt to the digital world, the future currency must also be digital. It can be predicted that digital currency will be safer, faster and more convenient in the future
many procts of blockchain technology are not currency, although they are called currency. Under the guise of digital currency investment, it is a Ponzi scheme. Even some of them don't even have blockchain technology, which is just a fake number to cheat people.

4. Digital currency is a kind of data structure, which combines data blocks in chronological order. Digital currency is a public account book that can not be tampered with or forged by means of cryptography

we can understand that digital currency is an account book containing all historical transactions. Each block will have several transaction records, which can be viewed by all participants. Each participant of digital currency has to maintain this account book together, Digital currency is a collection of transaction data

for example, in the field of digital currency bitcoin, there will be the concept of "miner". Miner needs to constantly repeat operations to generate workload, and each miner has competition. It needs to complete a mathematical problem based on cryptographic hash algorithm. The answer is in the area, if who works out the answer first, So who can broadcast in the network that he has obtained this block, other miners will not go to this block for mining, but will work in the next block. Miners will have more transaction costs in his block, and they will generate what we call digital currency bitcoin as a reward, and then they will go to their own digital currency bitcoin account

there is no problem with digital currency itself. There may be criminals using digital currency as a cover to cheat, which needs to be carefully screened

1. The volume of digital currency is too large. With the development of digital currency, the volume of digital currency stored in nodes is becoming larger and larger, and the computing burden is also increasing. Colleagues have also caused a lot of impact on the operation of digital currency bitcoin client

2. There is a problem with the data confirmation time. The time for a digital currency bitcoin transaction is about 10 minutes. If we confirm six times, we need to wait for an hour, which is a long time;

5. Digital currency does not worry about counterfeit money. If it is paper money, it worries about counterfeit money. I don't worry. I didn't take any money with me.

6. Similar to Alipay and WeChat pay, no physical bills, you will spend faster, because spend money without shadow, no trace, finally the money became a figure, let people become no basic concept of money.
