Bank establishes digital currency Research Institute
The digital currency developed by the central bank has such a definition: encrypted digital string representing specific amount guaranteed and signed by the central bank . In a broad sense, digital currency includes a wide range of aspects, including electronic currency, virtual currency and legal digital currency. But strictly speaking, the digital currency developed by the central bank refers to legal digital currency P>
electronic currency is the digitalization of legal tender, including our common bank cards, Internet banking, electronic cash, Alipay and so on. No matter what the form of these electronic money is and through which institutions it circulates, its original source is the legal money issued by the central bank
In contrast, virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency, and its original issuer is not the central bank. For example, Tencent Q coin and other game coins, such virtual currency is mainly limited to circulation in a specific virtual environment; bitcoin, for example, solves the problem of decentralization and distrust through blockchain technology, realizes global circulation, and is sought after all over the world. In other words, virtual currency can only be closed in the network circulation, and digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency, bitcoin is illegalthe digital currency researched and issued by the central bank is indexed RMB, which belongs to legal encrypted digital currency from the perspective of national schemes, and it is not only a payment tool but also a currency itself< the purpose of digital currency issued by the central bank is to replace physical cash, rece the cost of traditional paper currency issuance and circulation, and improve the convenience and transparency of economic transactions
hope to adopt
the "trace" and "traceability" of digital currency can improve the convenience and transparency of economic transactions. Economist Yu Fenghui said that money laundering, tax evasion and other criminal activities are expected to decrease. At the same time, with the application of blockchain technology, a unified account book will be established nationwide or even worldwide, so that every sum of money can be traced back. Tax evasion and money laundering will be within the scope of supervision, and it is even possible to realize automatic tax dection on the card machine
in the future, the digital currency launched by the central bank will become the mainstream, and the digital currencies such as lightcoin, bitcoin and decent may be marginalized.
a few days ago, Indian Prime Minister modi announced the issuance of a new currency aimed at combating tax evasion and money laundering. In fact, if the central bank issues digital currency with perfect technology and mature mechanism, it will have better effect. Because the digital currency, in addition to anti-counterfeiting, with the help of blockchain technology, makes the capital data traceable and highly transparent. These features can also be used for macro data statistics and monitoring, which has positive significance for big data risk control
as for what bank digital currency is, the central bank requested at the meeting on January 20 this year that the research team of the people's Bank of China should actively absorb the important achievements and practical experience of digital currency research at home and abroad, continue to promote on the basis of preliminary work, establish a more effective organizational guarantee mechanism, and further clarify the strategic objectives of the central bank in issuing digital currency, Do a good job in tackling key technologies, study the multi scenario application of digital currency, and strive to launch the digital currency issued by the central bank as soon as possible.
on September 4, the central bank and other seven ministries and commissions issued the notice on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, and the ICO trading platform was completely suspended. After September 14, the relevant token platforms successively removed procts or stopped trading. After the news came out, digital currency was boiling
some people can't help asking: with the collapse of ICO and the closure of bitcoin platform, is digital currency over? Here the central bank gives the answer. The central bank reports that around the Spring Festival this year, the block chain based digital bill trading platform promoted by the central bank has been tested successfully, and the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank will also be officially listed. China's sovereign digital currency will accelerate its arrival. Then some people will question whether China will proce its own bitcoin? Here, let's talk about what is digital currency:
digital currency
digital currency is different from virtual currency, not bitcoin or q-coin! That is to say, it is different from virtual currencies such as bitcoin and Ethernet
virtual currency can only be closed in circulation on the network, just like Tencent's q-coin and Dashen's coin on the platform of Dashen software collaborative instry ecological chain. They can only be used for one use of their own procts. Digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency, bitcoin is illegal digital currency. As for legal digital currency, there is no unified international definition. Yao Qian, deputy director of the science and Technology Department of the people's Bank of China and head of the preparatory group of the digital currency Research Institute, believes that the digital currency researched and issued by the people's Bank of China is indexed RMB. From the perspective of national schemes, it belongs to legal encrypted digital currency, which is not only a payment tool but also a currency. Correspondingly, virtual currency is also called illegal fixed digital currency. Li Lihui, head of the blockchain working group of China Internet Finance Association, once said that digital currency must have legal status, national sovereignty endorsement, and clear responsibility subject of issuance. Virtual currencies represented by bitcoin and ethereal currency have no country, no sovereign endorsement, no qualified issuers, and no national credit support. These are not digital currencies.
it will be more convenient to pay with digital currency, and it will be more secure for the central bank recently, the Shenzhen municipal government and the Central Bank jointly launched a pilot activity of digital currency. This activity is funded and sponsored by the Luohu District government. This activity will issue digital RMB with a face value of 200 yuan to 50000 Shenzhen citizens, with a total amount of 10 million yuan. These 50000 people will be drawn out in the form of lottery. After winning, they can download the digital currency app and bind it with their mobile phone numbers, It's ready to use. The use scenario is 3389 merchants in Luohu District. Just like mobile payment, you can scan the code directly. Moreover, the design of the digital currency is similar to that of the banknote, with the national emblem and the style of the people's Bank of China on the front
some economists also said that the advantage of digital currency is that its transactions and transfers all have zero cost. For example, some mobile payments, withdrawals and transfers may need some handling charges, but if it is a digital currency, there is no concept of handling charges. With the digitalization of currency, all transactions have zero cost, It is a good thing for enterprises and users
A group of dwarves try to enter the mine to dig for gold, but they are mixed with a few saboteurs who want to eat the mineral resources alone, which makes the original simple treasure hunt difficult. Therefore, the honest dwarves in the game try to build a passage to the gold mine, while the task of the destroyers is to destroy the plan. In fact, it's a card game in which players play the dwarf pit workers and work together in the mine to target the gold mine. However, there are also obstacles among them, which hinder the miners from reaching their destination. The miners should pay attention to the competition among peers and clean their eyes to find out who is the obstacle
When people still think that digital currency is a joke in the virtual world of the Internet, Mu Changchun, deputy director general of the payment and Settlement Department of the people's Bank of China, said at the third Yichun community forum of CF40 on August 10,
digital currency
Second, to avoid hype before, people criticized the digital currency because it became a grey Swan after being hyped. Wearing the packaging of blockchain applications, digital currencies such as BTC are virtual currencies created on the basis of blockchain applications
Thirdly, we should assiously integrate into the digital currency era from the perspective of improving the availability and the application intention of the masses, the central bank's selling of digital currency adopts a two-tier business framework,the decision-making adopts a two-tier framework, which is also to make full use of the resources, talents and technical advantages of commercial institutions, promote independent innovation and market competition
the era of digital currency has come, so don't go against the development trend. The use of digital currency is an inevitable trend. In this situation, we should assiously integrate the authenticity of digital currency. Although it is virtual,
is exchanged by commercial institutions for everyone, it is also very missing, which is real gold and silver. At this time, it seems that the new pattern and new trend are very critical. Try to do something that meets the long-term trend opportunities and integrate into the overall upward opportunities of the sales market
