What is the application scenario of digital currency
1. The concept range is different. bitcoin is a kind of digital currency, and the concept of digital currency covers bitcoin
However, some digital currencies have independent issuers The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total quantity of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to 21 milliondigital currency is abbreviated as digiccy, which is the abbreviation of "digital currency" in English. It is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digiccy. Bitcoin is a digital currency
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 currencies, such as bitcoin, lettercoin and ppcoin, are electronic currencies created, issued and circulated by means of 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
illegal digital currency
in recent years, "virtual currency" represented by bitcoin, Ethernet currency and Leyte currency has been traded centrally on some Internet platforms. With the help of financial technology, the price of these "currencies" has graally spread to investment, financing and other financial fields, which has aroused wide attention from all walks of life
not long ago, the people's Bank of China and other seven ministries and commissions jointly issued the announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, which clearly regulated the relevant behaviors. Experts pointed out that "virtual currency" is not legal tender (legal currency) issued by monetary authorities, but a specific virtual commodity in essence
therefore, it is undoubtedly a great legal and economic risk to think that "virtual currency" has or will have the nature of legal tender and to carry out speculation, network fund-raising, lending and financing
the digital currency launched by the central bank is a national sovereign currency, which is based on the digitalization of RMB. This is a piece of data generated by a complex algorithm, which contains blockchain and encryption technology, making it unique. The payment of Alipay and WeChat is not digital money, but only based on the payment realized by electronic accounts. Compared with the current pattern of "payment transfer collection" with the help of third-party payment, what digital currency needs to achieve is "decentralization", that is, to cancel the transfer link and directly hand over the money from the payer's account to the payee, so as to rece the payment cost in currency circulation
types of digital currency
according to different issuing or consensus mechanisms, it can be divided into four categories:
1, proof of work (POW)
proof of work. The system rewards are obtained through the mining of computing power to complete the issuance and distribution of currency. More work, more gain. Such as bitcoin, lightcoin (LTC)
the advantage is that the mining cost can form a monetary price support to a certain extent, and the disadvantage is that energy consumption and environmental protection are criticized< 2. Proof of stake (POS). Allocate the newly generated currency or interest according to the amount and time of cryptocurrency you hold. Such as dash and Neo
compared with pow, POS is more energy-saving, but it increases the security risk
3. The evolution scheme of delegated proof of stake (dpos)
POS. Similar to the voting mechanism of the board of directors, through the election of representatives to vote and make decisions, n accounting nodes are elected to create, verify, sign and supervise each other. Such as the grapefruit coin (EOS)
the advantage is high efficiency, but the problem is that it presents a semi centralized state
4. POW + POS hybrid mechanism
POW is mainly used to issue currency, and POS is used to maintain the system. For example, PPC
according to the project type, it can also be divided into four categories:
1. Currency category
digital currency issued for the purpose of transfer, payment and value storage. For example, bitcoin, bitcoin cash (BCH), Monroe (XmR), and grin
2. Public chain currency, that is, the digital currency issued by public chain projects, is generally the "fuel" for the application projects to run on the public chain. Such as eth, grapefruit coin, TRX and ont
3. Application token, that is, digital currency issued by decentralized application projects, is equivalent to equity or points. For example, OMG (payment application), GXC (data application), 1st (game application)
4. Platform currency, that is, the digital currency issued by the digital currency exchange, is equivalent to equity, points or fuel. For example, BNB, HT and okb.
the birth and popularity of bitcoin all over the world depends on the concept, which is in the foreword of the times. However, bitcoin has been preconceived and cannot be replaced by other digital currencies. Although some counterfeit currencies were popular for a while later, they slowly went down in the end, only bitcoin strengthened.

it's not a reality. Up to now, I still think it's stupid to make money by buying and selling domain names. I know it happens sometimes. It's like a high-risk, low return investment
as a result, the Internet did. Now, 20 years on, domain names are cheap, and search engines make them brand specific Note: the author means that the convenience of search engines makes domain names cheaper and cheaper. Domain names are only related to brands.)
What does this have to do with the value of bitcoin
this is an example of how people's views on value change with the development of technology
at this point, most people see bitcoin as money. The chairman of the US SEC said, "yes, that's how drug gangs use it. Everyone I know thinks so.". It's called "bit coin" for a reason
bitcoin maximalists call it hard currency, critics call it fake money, and veteran players call it cyber currency

Yao Qian, head of the preparatory group of the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China, said a few days ago that the prototype scheme for the central bank to issue legal digital currency has completed two rounds of revision, and is expected to be tested in relatively closed application scenarios such as the bill market in the future. The prototype system of legal digital currency is being developed. As for when the legal digital currency of the people's Bank of China can be launched, there is no timetable
from the start of digital currency research two years ago, to the digital currency seminar held by the central bank in January this year, to the establishment of the digital currency Research Institute and the recruitment of professionals by the central bank in the near future, digital currency is graally approaching.
When it comes to digital currency, your first reaction may be bitcoin or Libra, which Facebook plans to launch
from the perspective of usage scenarios, the central bank's digital currency does not pay interest, and can be used in small, retail and high-frequency business scenarios, which is no different from paper money. At the same time, the use should comply with all the existing regulations on cash management, anti money laundering and anti-terrorism financing

Digital money (electronic money or electronic currency) is a kind of money in digital form (different from paper money and coins). It shows properties similar to physical currency, but allows immediate transaction and boundaryless ownership transfer. Examples include virtual currency, cryptocurrency and currency issued by central bank and recorded in computer database (including digital base currency). Like traditional currencies, they may be used to buy physical goods and services, but they may also be restricted in some communities, such as online games
