Obstacles to the introduction of digital currency in China
according to the news on August 10, Mu Changchun, deputy director general of the payment and Settlement Department of the people's Bank of China, said at the third China finance forum that the central bank's digital currency will soon be launched and will adopt a two-tier operation system, that is, the people's Bank of China will be the upper tier and commercial institutions will be the second tier< As for why the central bank's digital currency chooses the "two-tier operation system", Mu Changchun explained:
1. The central bank's digital currency is bound to face the retail scene and the public, while the performance of bitcoin and Libra can not meet the high concurrency. After a period of research, it is decided to adopt the two-tier system
2. It is a complex system engineering for big countries to issue central bank digital currency
3. The IT infrastructure application and service system of commercial banks and other institutions have been relatively mature, the user base is huge, and the service habit has been formed; There are plenty of talents and it experts; The system has strong processing ability, and has accumulated some experience in the application of financial technology
4. Through the design of two-tier operation, risk can be avoided to concentrate on a single indivial
5. Single layer investment will lead to "financial disintermediation". If the central bank directly releases digital money to the public, it will crowd out the deposits of commercial banks and affect the loan delivery ability of commercial banks; In extreme cases, it will also subvert the existing financial system, leading to the "grand unification" of the central bank
6; It will not affect the existing monetary policy transmission mechanism
7. The central bank will not preset the technology route, any advanced technology may be used in the research and development of the central bank's digital currency; The boundary between electronic payment and central bank digital currency is fuzzy; It can fully mobilize market forces and realize system optimization through competition
it can be seen that the central bank has recognized the legitimacy of bitcoin and Ethernet in disguised form. However, the central bank's digital currency is different from the traditional blockchain digital currency. It is 1:1 anchored RMB. I regard it as RMB digitization. The central bank's digital currency, paper money, coins and bonds exist at the same time, but in different ways. It is a kind of stable currency, and there is no room for speculation
at the beginning of this year, the most influential event of digital currency is Facebook's upcoming launch of digital currency Libra. If successful, it will bring 3 billion Facebook users into digital currency. However, Libra has not included the RMB in its basket of currencies. Coupled with the sweater war and exchange rate war with the United States, this may be the reason why the central bank urgently launched the central bank's digital currency. It is said that Wal Mart will also launch digital currency. With JPMorgan's issuing currency before, it can be predicted that traditional business giants will enter the era of blockchain digital currency one after another
the issuance of digital currency by the central bank may be a great benefit to the users of China's currency circle. Due to some policy reasons, the users' access to the digital currency world is not very smooth, which is the problem of difficult access to money. The most common stable currency, usdt, does not seem to be very stable and over issued seriously. In addition, the attorney general's office in New York investigates TEDA and other reasons, There may be a risk of thunderstorm at any time. According to statistics, about 80% of the users who use usdt are Chinese users, while the United States uses USD directly, and a few will use usdt. If the central bank introces digital currency, it will greatly facilitate digital currency users
finally, the other role of the central bank's digital currency is cross-border trade settlement. If it is combined with Alipay and WeChat payment, it will compete abroad and compete with Libra internationally.
To guard against the possible risks brought by bitcoin, we know that digital currency represented by bitcoin has high risks. This kind of risk is mainly reflected in two aspects: first, the limitation of digital currency makes it used as investment goods, and the price is extremely unstable. Those who do not understand the principle of digital currency and pay too much attention to speculation are easy to suffer losses for various reasons
Secondly, national digital currency is linked to its own legal currency to a certain extent, so it effectively avoids the price volatility of bitcoin. Because the CBDC issued by our country is guaranteed by the credit of the central bank, it must be a stable currency. In today's international situation, the research and development of digital currency in China is of great significance. The introction of digital currency is not an expedient measure, it has become the development direction of China's future currencyDigital currency is a new technology that can improve the efficiency of transaction, but it is targeted by lawless elements to carry out pyramid selling and fraud in its name
the official website of the monetary Bureau of the people's Bank of China issued the risk warning on issuing or promoting digital currency in the name of the people's Bank of China. The central bank pointed out that recently, indivial enterprises falsely used the name of our bank to label relevant digital procts as "authorized issuance by the people's Bank of China", or falsely claimed that the digital currency promotion team of the central bank issued, in an attempt to deceive the public and take the opportunity to make huge profits
in the risk warning, the central bank stressed that the bank 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. At the same time, 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. The general public should raise their risk awareness, invest rationally and prudently, and prevent the interests from being damaged
Yan Lixin, Professor of School of economics of Fudan University and Secretary General of China Anti Money Laundering Research Center, said that many domestic virtual currencies have been used by criminals to become the targets of pyramid schemes. "With the rapid development of the Internet age, the essence of pyramid schemes has not changed. What has changed is only its means and forms. From offline to online, physical objects have become virtual objects, In this case, the risk is greater, and it is more difficult for consumers or investors to stop loss, rece loss and safeguard their rights. "
"the legal tender of our country is RMB." In the risk warning, the monetary Bureau of the people's Bank of China once again stressed that RMB is uniformly printed and issued by the people's Bank of China
therefore, as the world's second largest economy, we need to develop and implement digital currency
the above are my personal suggestions, which I hope will be helpful to your questions.
China's digital currency is as long as there is a mobile phone, no network, as long as the touch can be paid, and with detailed transaction records, it is very helpful to combat money laundering crime; This currency is mainly aimed at grabbing shares for Alipay, WeChat and POS terminals. It can also pave the way for RMB internationalization. Digital currency is not only safe and endorsed by the state, but the global central bank is pushing digital money. Now the digital currency is still in the testing stage. What time will it be popularized? It will have to wait until the Beijing Winter Olympic Games in February 2022 to fully promote the use
China's central bank's digital currency can be used for daily micro payments. Because it will be more stable with the endorsement of the state, the central bank's digital currency is different from bitcoin and Libra launched by Facebook. I give digital currency legal effect, and indivials can't refuse to accept it. At the same time, it is very convenient to use. It can be paid without binding any bank account. Digital currency will not cause inflation. Now it can be implemented and used in Shenzhen, xiong'an, Cheng, Suzhou and other cities. It also shows that the era of paperless is coming. Digital currency is a new concept with high technology content. In the future, RMB will enter the 3.0 era. Although the current digital currency is more powerful, it is still unable to put an end to money laundering and corruption
it can be said that China's currency provides a useful space for a RMB transaction in the world. Even for many people, digital RMB may provide a useful and effective way for a world bank to communicate
the use of digital currency has a direct impact on a country's economic development. It can be said that on the technical level, digital currency provides a forced mechanism to ensure that it can monitor all capital flows and implement greater control over China's financial system and capital account. The development of digital currency in China can also effectively provide the direction for China to avoid the U.S. leader's financial system
without this calculation, the whole system is not secure, so these seemingly meaningless calculations are to ensure everyone's security
