Bitcoin and legal 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 natural nature of bitcoin is decentralized, but the Central Bank of digital currency must abide by the centralized management model. Compared with bitcoin, the central bank's digital currency has a higher "currency" value, and the price of bitcoin fluctuates greatly. the central bank's digital currency ensures the payment function in daily life, and has remained relatively stable since 2014. Since the beginning of the year, the central bank has been actively engaged in the research and development of digital currency, including the active application of relevant patents
starting from the issue of digital currency, the central bank uses a two-level operating system, which first converts digital currency into banks or other operating institutions, and then to the public. Mu Changchun said the al transmission system is suitable for China's national conditions. We can not only use the existing resources to mobilize the enthusiasm of commercial banks, but also improve the acceptance of digital currency without any problem
opponents of bitcoin accuse mining of wasting a lot of resources to make meaningless coin toss, while supporters take gold mining as an example. For the bitcoin system, the biggest significance of this kind of resource consumption mining is: to distribute 21 million initial bitcoins fairly, just like to consume resources to dig gold, the only way to distribute initial bitcoins fairly is to consume resources to dig bitcoins
bitcoin has thousands of plagiarists, competitors and improvers because of its open source code. Generally, those who simply and imitate bitcoin are called Shanzhai coins, and those who add certain new features to bitcoin are called competitive coins. Some coins add other functional moles such as smart contract to bitcoin, and call themselves "second generation coins". These thousands of coins try all the initial coin distribution modes you can imagine, such as the average distribution of the initial coin to each Icelandic, the distribution of the initial coin to the nextcoin of 73 crowd funding participants, and the slow distribution of the majority of the initial coin by the developer
but the fairness of all these ways of distributing initial coins is far weaker than the mode of burning money to obtain initial bitcoin, and fairness is the core problem of a monetary system. Therefore, although bitcoin mining consumes a lot of resources, it is a reasonable economic behavior just like consuming resources to mine gold.
promissory notes, bills of exchange, bank notes and cheques in circulation in transactions are all credit currencies. It reflects the credit relationship between creditors and debtors. Compared with traditional money, electronic money has different backgrounds, such as social background, economic conditions and technological level; Its manifestations are as follows: electronic money is transmitted and displayed by electronic pulse instead of paper, which is processed and stored by microcomputer without the size, weight and imprint of traditional money; Electronic money can only circulate in the field of transfer, and the circulation speed is much faster than that of traditional money; Traditional currency can be used in any area, while electronic currency can only be used in credit card market; The traditional currency is issued by the state and circulates compulsorily, while the electronic currency is issued by the bank. Its use can only be guided by propaganda, not forced orders. In addition, in use, legal currency should be used to reflect and realize the value of commodities, and settle the creditor's rights and debts between commodity procers; The influence of e-money on society is wider and deeper.
the central bank's digital currency has national credit and is equivalent to legal currency. Its functional attributes are exactly the same as those of traditional paper currency, but it is in digital form. Digital currency is concive to recing transaction costs, improving financial efficiency, and preventing money laundering and other illegal transactions

you can imagine this picture: payday is coming, your cold wallet has received 0.05 bitcoin, according to the bitcoin 60000 US dollars, you have earned 3000 US dollars this month, a total of 20100 RMB! You are very happy, just as you are going to have a big meal to reward yourself, bitcoin suddenly plummeted from $60000 to $50000, and it is still falling!! Your 0.05 bitcoin is still so much, but your income instantly reced to 16250, nearly 4000 yuan evaporated, not only that, but also the amount continued to decline with the naked eye!! At this time, I'm afraid no one would like to invite you to a big meal. Instead, I nervously took out my mobile phone and quickly sold bitcoin! When the transaction is completed and RMB 16000 is paid to your account, you will finally relax...
so why is bitcoin easy to store money and transfer assets? This is determined by its design principle. Professional knowledge is too complex. In short, bitcoin is a code city that can't be broken by hackers. All users involved in bitcoin trading in this city can't trace their real information through any technical means. Therefore, bitcoin has become a pure land of assets that governments can't control. In this city, your private property will always be yours, No one wants to take it away. If you forget your password, it will be miserable, because you don't want to take back your own bitcoin. It will be stored in this city forever. Therefore, the extreme security and secrecy of bitcoin make it easy for private property to completely get rid of the control of sovereign states, so it is reasonable for governments to study regulatory methods, because bitcoin is the most powerful in history, which can fight against the country's enemies economically
