Can Chinese public officials participate in digital currency

1.

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

2.

The digital currency of the central bank is DCEP

the name of the digital currency developed by the central bank is DCEP (digital currency electronic payment). DC is digital currency. EP is electronic payment. Payment transmits digital things through a certain way, not paper currency. Therefore, electronic payment itself has the attribute of digital currency

The characteristics of digital currency are: low transaction cost; Fast trading speed; Highly anonymous

Application of digital currency

I. fast, economic and safe payment and settlement

cross border payment helps RMB internationalization. In 2015, the settlement volume of cross-border payment involving current account is about 8 trillion yuan. To accelerate the internationalization of RMB, cross-border payment and settlement procts and solutions with low cost, high efficiency and low risk are needed

At present, there are still a lot of repetitive human work in the bank's electronic loan process and processing process, and as the basic support of loan issuance, many of the collateral has the situation of false pricing or multiple or even no collateral. We can consider using digital currency to price and track bank collateral:

3. Bill finance and supply chain finance

in recent years, various bill market businesses based on commercial bills have grown rapidly, and bill financing procts have become a hot area of Internet financing. However, about 70% of the current bill businesses in China are still paper transactions, Supply chain finance is also highly dependent on labor costs

3. First of all, there is a problem with this statement. What is the investment currency? Will you use 100 yuan to trade and buy the same 100 yuan from others? 100 yuan without collection value. Therefore, it is necessary to make clear that the central bank issues currency, which is based on the unified management of domestic monetary policy. It is a substitute for paper currency, not a kind of investment similar to bitcoin, so there is no investment problem

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.

4.

The people's Bank of China has not issued digital currency for the time being, so there is no legal digital currency in China at present. At present, digital currency has not been recognized in China, let alone legal

at present, all kinds of digital currencies circulating in the market are basically on the edge of the law. China maintains a neutral attitude, but does not like speculation, which is also the basic attitude of the central bank{ RRRRR}

digital currency is abbreviated as digiccy, which is the abbreviation of "digital currency" in English and the alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digiccy

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 currency, such as bitcoin, lightcoin and ppcoin, is an electronic currency created, issued and circulated by 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

5. Of course, you can control the virtual currency, you can also mine.

6. It is illegal to buy and sell digital currency in China
according to the announcement on preventing the financing risks of token issuance jointly issued by the central bank and other seven ministries and commissions, the announcement points out that any so-called token financing trading platform shall not engage in the exchange business between legal tender and token and "virtual currency", and shall not buy or sell tokens or "virtual currency" as a central counter party, It is not allowed to provide pricing, information intermediary and other services for token or "virtual currency"
the announcement points out that token issuance financing refers to the so-called "virtual currency" raised from investors through the illegal sale and circulation of tokens. In essence, it is an unauthorized illegal public financing behavior, suspected of illegal sale of token bills, illegal issuance of securities, illegal fund-raising, financial fraud, pyramid schemes and other illegal criminal activities<
extended information:
the central bank said that the so-called "digital currency" in the market is not legal digital currency:
the central bank's gold and silver Bureau issued a "risk warning on issuing or promoting digital currency in the name of the people's Bank of China" on its official website, saying that recently, indivial enterprises falsely used the name of the central bank and labeled relevant digital procts as "authorized issuance of the people's Bank of China", Or they falsely claim that the central bank's digital currency promotion team is trying to deceive the public and make huge profits
the central bank said that the central 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. The central bank also suggested that 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
in fact, virtual currencies such as bitcoin and lightcoin are representatives of the so-called digital currency. The central bank said in 2016 that it was studying China's legal digital currency. Yao Qian, director of the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China, previously told the media 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, but there is no clear timetable for its launch

WeChat payment and Alipay payment, there are security risks! they are pioneers of digital payment and may not be eliminated in the future

at the national level, first of all, you must accept , and all aspects of functions will graally improve. Second, the trust based on the country is far greater than that of the indivial. Third, it is superfluous for other things to compete with the country, as long as they still want to live

will we miss the days of using paper money in the future? I feel that money has run faster since I used WeChat and Alipay, and I often don't remember what I bought, but I didn't have any money. There are so many old people in remote mountainous areas who use digital currency? It seems that they are old and their ability to accept new things has declined

8. Anyone can buy it. It's not against the law, but it's important to note that it's not guaranteed by national credit. Most of it is fraulent. Even bitcoin is mostly used for money laundering and speculation, and it may collapse at any time.

9. Certainly, it can't. what's the point of his introction? It's to encourage all people to participate. Digital currency is a trend in the future, such as the recent chaos of Saipan coin and Yuanbao coin
