The production of digital currency
according to the prospective instry research institute, an investment institution, the current upsurge of various types of digital currency financing does not mean that digital currency is becoming more and more popular as a currency. On the contrary, it is regarded by some people as "digital assets" to store, hype or use for illegal purposes, which can not but arouse enough attention and vigilance.
Digital assets and digital currency are not the same thing
Digital assets refer to the non monetary assets owned or controlled by enterprises or indivials in the form of electronic data and held in daily activities for sale or in the process of proction. The emergence of digital assets benefits from office automation, digital assets rely on the development of electronic payment system, its prospects are predictable2. Digital currency
digital currency refers to the digitization of currency. Digitization doesn't mean scanning. This is just like digital signature. Digital signature does not mean scanning your signature into a digital image, or using the touchpad to obtain the signature, let alone your signature
digital currency is often mistaken for virtual currency. But virtual currency refers to non real currency. For example, when you play "Three Kingdoms" (game) or "grand Voyage", you have money, and that money is virtual. Of course, the virtual money will also have its real value
for example, if you buy her / his account from another player, you can get all the virtual assets of that player, and then it will be much easier for you to continue playing. Virtual money is not necessarily digital. For example, children play games with pebbles as virtual currency

characteristics of digital assets:
1. High price. Because these application software with special purpose is specially developed for a specific work, its cost is relatively high, and its price is not lower than the price of fixed assets of factory buildings
(2) strong attachment. Application software must be supported by computer hardware and system software in order to play its role3. Strong interaction. Even the simplest application software also has some interactive functions, such as the error prompt to the operator, which is the most basic advantage of IT instry procts
The quantity is infinite. Digital assets as assets are scarce (because not all enterprises or indivials can create digital assets), but its supply can be unlimited. However, tangible assets are always limited e to the limitation of property and storage space Cost decreasing. The proction cost of tangible assets is positively proportional to the proction quantity References:

1. Impact on financial infrastructure
the decentralized mechanism of value exchange based on distributed ledger technology has changed the basic settings of gross and net settlement on which financial market infrastructure depends. The use of distributed ledgers also poses challenges to trading, clearing and settlement, as it promotes the disintermediation of traditional service providers in different markets and infrastructures. These changes may have potential impacts on market infrastructure other than retail payment systems, such as large payment systems, securities settlement systems or trading databases
If digital currency and distributed ledger based technology are widely used, it will bring challenges to the intermediary role of financial system participants, especially banks. As a financial intermediary, banks perform the ties of acting supervisors and supervise borrowers on behalf of depositors. Usually, banks also carry out liquidity and maturity conversion business to realize the financing from depositors to borrowers. If digital currency and distributed ledger are widely used, any subsequent disintermediation may have an impact on savings or credit evaluation mechanismsthere is no essential difference between virtual currency and digital currency, but it is only called differently. Digital currency is generally called high-end, and professionals generally call it digital currency. Virtual currency is the most popular term, which is generally used by those who don't know much about it.
the well-known digital currencies in the currency circle include bitcoin, Ruitai coin, Laite coin, doggy coin, etc.
At present, digital currency is still a concept in China, and it will be a long time before it can be used on a large scale in the market. But no one can stop the progress of human science and technology. Since we can not stop the trend of continuous development, we should consider how to use it correctly
China's sovereign digital currency is imperative, and our financial reform will continue to take a big step forward. What we can do is to follow the trend
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 a strict sense, digital currency relies on distributed rules and intelligent code to issue and operate. Its credit support is far away from the central bank's centralized mechanism, and completely relies on some spontaneous operation rules. Although the scale is still small and the technology needs to be mature, it may have a significant impact on the existing monetary mechanism in the future
the operation of modern monetary system is inseparable from bank deposit currency (bookkeeping currency). With the continuous development of payment technology, the problems of currency level and payment level are often entangled, which makes the problem more complex
