the central bank said that the so-called "digital currency" in the market is not legal digital currency:
the central bank's monetary 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 use the name of the central bank, The relevant digital procts are labeled as "authorized issuance by the people's Bank of China", or the central bank's digital currency promotion team is falsely claimed, in an attempt to deceive the public and take the opportunity to 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

3. It takes a while for digital currency to be popularized in an all-round waydigital currency is to turn paper money into a number that people can see on the Internet, which is more convenient for people to operate as long as we use the mobile phone in our daily life, we can complete a series of commodity transactions without using the Internet. At that time, it will be the real realization of a mobile phone that can travel all over the world
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
is not online yet, but it can be put into use immediately after it is online. The digital currency of CCB a few days ago is actually a test. However, some people say that this warm-up is likely that the digital currency will be issued and used immediately. what is the use of digital currency? Is it the same as WeChat Alipay? In this regard, Wang Jian, chief analyst of Guoxin Securities financial instry, believes that the number of Renminbi and banknotes and coins are RMB cash. Alipay, WeChat payment and so on are just a payment tool. Through these two channels, the balance of personal bank card is still used, or the credit card is being brushed, and the digital Renminbi payment is used. What we spend directly is digital RMB, just like cash
However, I would like to say that although the digital RMB itself is very safe and the central bank's digital currency should also carry out anti money laundering and anti terrorist financing, we should also prevent it from being used for online gambling and any cyber criminal activitiesThe rise of financial technology promotes the digital and intelligent development of finance, and the form of money is also developing. With the rapid development of information network communication technology, electronic payment has been popularized rapidly, and legal digital currency is also developing< China vigorously promotes digital currency, and the development of digital currency has great positive significance for China's economic development
finally, it is difficult for users to feel the difference between digital RMB payment and third-party payment in their daily consumption. In comparison, the use of digital RMB payment is more convenient than the third-party payment , and digital RMB payment is not limited by the network and payment scenarios. Digital RMB is the financial infrastructure built by the state, and there is no charge for the cashing and redemption of digital RMB. Digital RMB can be used to pay third-party payments. However, for those who need convenient electronic payment, people without financial accounts can also use digital RMB< Digital RMB supports controllable anonymity, which can better protect users' privacy
