Can we invest in central bank digital currency
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
It's illegal
First, digital currency ICO is illegal in China.
in September 2017, the people's Bank of China issued an announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, which formally determined that ICO is illegal financing without approval, and no organization or indivial is allowed to participate
later, it was announced on April 23, 2018 that the left and right digital currency ICO platforms had all withdrawn from the Chinese market, so the current ICO is illegal in China
Second, digital currency exchange is prohibited in China.
after announcing that ICO is an illegal financing activity, the central bank also listed services such as trading, exchange, pricing and information intermediary for virtual currency as prohibited items, which means that digital currency exchange is illegal in China
all trading platforms, including bitcoin China, okcion and fire coin, announced in 2018 that they would stop the RMB recharge business and graally shut down their trading platforms. As of April 2018, all digital currency exchanges had completely withdrawn from the Chinese market
digital currency generally has a special digital currency exchange. We can buy the digital currency we need in our digital currency exchange
we can buy from our friends in addition to the exchange. If a friend has something, you can discuss and ask if he can sell it to you
we can buy our digital currency from traders nearby if we need more
we accept payment by digital currency payment service. If we open a physical store, we can support payment by digital currency, so we can also get our digital currency
finally, we can get digital currency by mining, and we can get digital currency by equipping mining machine to work mining, such as investing more hardware
digital currency trading: it can be traded only after RMB or digital currency is recharged in a third-party digital currency exchange
purchase of digital currency: no matter how many coins you buy, there is no limit. For example, if bitcoin is 100000 yuan, you can buy 0.0001, and there is no limit on how many coins you can buy or sell
digital currency trading time: 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, can be traded
As of 2019, the digital currency seminar of the people's Bank of China was held in Beijing to further clarify the strategic objectives of the central bank's issuance of digital currency, do a good job in tackling key technologies, study the multi scenario application of digital currency, and strive to launch the digital currency issued by the central bank as soon as possible. At present, it is under study, and many problems need to be improved slowly
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
If digital currency is accepted by the public, its use will increase greatly and replace legal currency to a certain extent, then negative events such as network attacks on user terminals related to digital currency will cause currency fluctuation, which will have an impact on financial order and real economyin addition, the virtual currency based on blockchain technology is usually held by a few people at the beginning. For example, the first purchase of bitcoin in May 2010 was $25 pizza purchased by 10000 BTC, and the price of each bitcoin rose to $1200 in more than three years by the end of 2013
specifically, according to Yao Qian, director of China digital currency Research Institute, the design framework of central bank's digital currency is mainly convenient and efficient, safe and controllable, and popular development
as for the two-tier framework, the two-tier framework is the central bank and the commercial bank, based on the account and wallet. This framework is to combine the original bank account system with the account system based on digital currency wallet
in blockchain technology, digital currency is separated from legal currency system and bank account system. Otherwise, together, it will cause chaos. Considering this problem, Yao Qian introced digital currency wallet into the account system of commercial banks. In this way, an account can manage both electronic currency and digital currency. Of course, this kind of design has a great impact on the current banking system, but it is also a resource for commercial banks with mature system
how does digital currency wallet work in commercial banks
bank accounts and digital currency wallets of commercial banks have common management features. In this case, bank accounts and digital wallets have different positioning. According to the wallet standard designed by the central bank, a wallet is equal to a safe deposit box. According to the requirements of customers, the bank will manage the safe deposit box as all the properties of cryptocurrency. This framework adds a Digital Wallet ID field to the bank account. In this way, the wallet has the function of a safe deposit box and does not participate in the business, so as to avoid affecting the core business of the bank
digital currency transfer can be directly transferred in the commercial banking system, or through the note issuing bank using the client-side digital wallet, direct point-to-point transactions, so that there is no need to rely on inter-bank payment between account banks< In a word, digital currency wallet is the personal wallet in the commercial banking system
theoretically, the payment system deals with demand deposits, while digital currency is in the category of cash
is the digital currency issued by the central bank decentralized
Yao Qian said that the biggest issue facing the instry now is whether decentralized distributed ledger should be used at the top level
Central Bank digital currency is more convenient and can develop into controllable anonymity through centralized issuance and account based weak association. However, in the digital world, we cannot confuse the economy and finance behind the numbers. Although they are all numbers, they represent different assets, so the central bank will keep them in mind when designing. We want to have a mature financial infrastructure for legal digital currency, but considering that the note issuing bank is only responsible for the digital currency itself, and the account bank is responsible for the actual management business, so as long as the specific application is implemented, the note issuing bank and the account bank will perform their ties and do their best
then the characteristics of the central bank's digital currency are
1. Digital currency, like RMB, has stable value
2. The operation mode is the same as RMB, which is endorsed by the national credit and issued by the central bank, and all commercial banks exchange it into the market
3. Digital currency issuance relies on big data, because it has the possibility of real-time collection of currency bookkeeping, flow, transaction, etc., which can provide help in anti money laundering
4. After digital currency replaces paper currency, it will play a positive role in preventing counterfeit banknotes, changing change, and preventing damage and loss ring transaction storage
5. It will rece the waste of resources. The proction and printing of paper money need cost, while the proction of digital currency depends on big data, so it will rece the waste of resources
therefore, with the advent of the central bank's digital currency, personal participation will have less opportunities to make money
I hope it can help you
hope to adopt it
since the great development of domestic online payment, the central bank has been promoting the research and development of data currency, recing the issue of paper currency and issuing it in the form of electronic currency
in view of the nature of currency, sovereign countries all over the world are the same, and other entities are not allowed to issue legal currency. So we saw fcaebook issue Libra virtual currency based on blockchain, and the US government also expressed concern. Zuckerberg attended questions in Congress many times
electronization is indeed a trend, but all countries can only allow the central bank to take the lead. After the digital currency photo of ABC test appeared in the market yesterday, the stock market also had some waves. The central bank's enthusiasm for digital currency has always been strong, so the development of e-currency and subsequent real issuance should be ahead of other countries
of course, the enthusiasm of the central bank is also based on the situation that the domestic electronic payment is leading the world, and the payment habit of Chinese people has been formed. In the future, it will be another scene if it is expanded under the appropriate scene. The digital currency of the central bank is the replacement of paper money
its functions and properties are exactly the same as paper money, but its form is digital. We define it as "digital payment instrument with value characteristics"
the application scenario of digital currency is like this: as long as two people have DCEP digital wallets on their mobile phones, there is no need to connect to the network. As long as the mobile phone is a little bit, when two mobile phones touch each other, the digital currency in one person's digital wallet can be transferred to another person, that is, there is no need to bind any bank account, Unlike now, WeChat and Alipay need to bind a bank card, but DCEP doesn't need it.
this means that DCEP can circulate like paper money. But how is it different from bitcoin and other digital currencies?
the central bank's digital currency belongs to legal currency. Like cash, the central bank's digital currency has unlimited legal compensation, that is to say, you can't refuse to accept DCEP, which is backed by the central bank and the whole national system
now many private Payment institutions or platforms will set up various payment barriers, such as WeChat's money can not be transferred to Alipay, Alipay's money can not be transferred to WeChat, but for the central bank's digital currency, as long as the use of electronic payment places, it must accept the central bank's digital currency.
so how do indivials need to invest in DCEP?
at present, DCEP is probably equal to RMB, so the appreciation space can not be said to be small. Its value is equivalent to RMB, and it is equivalent to people who speculate in foreign exchange can participate in its investment, and it will certainly not float as much as other blockchain virtual currencies, which will certainly disrupt the financial system of the whole country, Since the state can guarantee the stability of RMB exchange rate, it is believed that the stability of legal currency can also be guaranteed
at present, all countries and institutions have plans to launch their own digital currency. The most famous one is lbra launched by Facebook. For the launch of digital currency, we also cross the river by feeling the stone. Any financial innovation has its deep meaning, which is promoting the reform of the whole society.
so far, no central bank has issued digital currency
even if it will be issued in the future, it is just another form of paper money. It is essentially different from the virtual currency such as bitcoin in financial derivatives or the more traditional digital currency such as e-glod. Will not allow the market to hype its concept!
