extended data

at present, digital currency is more like an investment proct, because it lacks a strong guarantee agency to maintain its price stability, and its role as a value measure has not yet appeared, so it can not be used as a means of payment. As an investment proct, digital currency cannot develop without trading platform, operating company and investment company

digital currency is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the blockchain technology it relies on has been decentralized and can be used in other fields except digital currency, which is one of the reasons why bitcoin is popular; On the other hand, if digital currency is widely used by the public as a kind of currency, it will have a huge impact on the effectiveness of monetary policy, financial infrastructure, financial market and financial stability

2.

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 million

digital 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

3. 1. Digital currency contract, also known as futures contract. In short, it's business in the future. A standardized contract uniformly formulated by the exchange to deliver a certain quantity and quality at a specific time and place in the future. The vast majority of users use the margin system of futures contracts, add 10 or even 20 times leverage to leverage big funds, and then use the index fluctuation to buy low and sell high trading contracts, so as to earn double profits< 2. Perpetual contracts are derivatives. From the perspective of trading, it is similar to the traditional futures contract, but there are some differences. First of all, it has no maturity or settlement date. The perpetual swap contract is similar to a margin spot market, so its trading price is close to the underlying reference index price, which is different from the futures contract. Due to the basis, the trading price difference of the futures contract may be significantly different. Secondly, the main mechanism of anchoring spot price is capital cost< At present, rolling spot futures is the main form of perpetual contracts. Rolling contract is a kind of futures contract settled on the same day and automatically extended. Profit and loss are settled on each trading day, and the contract position held by traders will be automatically extended at the end of the trading day. In addition, the cash flow of assets will be exchanged, and the long investors will pay the capital cost to the short investors to compensate the capital cost of the short investors
3. Option contract is a kind of agreement, which can give traders the right to buy or sell assets at a predetermined price before a specific date or on a specific date. Option contracts are trading derivatives that can be based on a wide range of underlying assets, including stocks and cryptocurrencies. These contracts may also come from information such as financial indicators. Generally, option contracts are used to hedge the risk of existing positions and speculative transactions.

The contract transaction of digital currency is not safe. There are still many loopholes in the digital currency trading platform, for example, the most common are the following six kinds:

1. Denial of service attack

denial of service attack is the most important attack against the digital currency trading platform at present. Through denial of service attack, the attacker makes the trading platform unable to access normally, Because users can not accurately distinguish the degree of attack, it often causes panic asset transfer, which brings some loss

2. Phishing incident

even the best technical measures at present can not make the digital currency trading platform avoid phishing attacks. Some hackers and criminals can confuse digital currency investors by means of fake domain names or fake pages, while ordinary investors can't identify the authenticity, so it's easy to cause asset losses

Many digital currency trading platforms use a single private key to protect the hot wallet. If hackers can access a single private key, they can crack the hot wallet related to the private key. For example, in the attack on yapizon of Seoul stock exchange in 2017, the attackers stole hot wallets from the trading platform twice in a year, resulting in a total loss of nearly 50% of the assets of the trading platform and eventually leading to the bankruptcy of the trading platform

Fourth, e to the lack of perfect risk isolation measures, or ineffective supervision on the rights of employees, some employees who have the operation rights of the platform use internal trust to seek unjust wealth for themselves. For example, in 2016, the event of employees stealing bitcoin on shapeshift caused a total loss of US $230000 to the trading platform by stealing and reselling sensitive information to others

Fifth, the software vulnerability of digital currency trading platform includes single sign on vulnerability, OAuth protocol vulnerability and so on. At present, all countries have laws requiring banks or other financial institutions to implement information security measures to protect customers' deposits. However, e to the fact that the blockchain field is still in its infancy, there is a lack of such specifications for encrypting digital assets. Therefore, it is not accidental that many trading platforms have a large number of loopholes in the absence of security constraints

6. Transaction malleability the technical supporters of blockchain often think that blockchain transactions are highly secure because they are recorded on records that are said to be unchangeable, but each transaction needs to have a corresponding signature, and the records can be forged temporarily before the final confirmation of the transaction

rules of contract transaction

1. Transaction time

contract transaction is 7 * 24 hours transaction, which will be interrupted only ring the settlement or delivery period of 16:00 (UTC + 8) every Friday. In the last 10 minutes before delivery, the contract can only be closed, not opened

Transaction types are divided into two types, opening and closing. Opening and closing positions are divided into two directions: buying and selling:

buying open long (bullish) refers to buying a certain number of contracts when users are bullish and bullish on the index. Carry out "buy open more" operation, match success will increase long position

selling pingo (multi order closing) refers to the selling contract that the user makes up for when he is no longer bullish on the future index, offsets with the current buying contract and exits the market. Carry on "sell flat much" operation, match after success, will rece long position

short selling (bearish) refers to the new sale of a certain number of certain contracts when the user is short or bearish on the index. Carry out the operation of "sell short" and increase the short position after successful matching

buy close (short single close) refers to the buy contract that the user will not be bearish on the future index market and make up for, offset with the current sell contract and exit the market. Carry out "buy short" operation, after matching successfully, short position will be reced

3. Order method

limit order: the user needs to specify the price and quantity of the order. Limit order can be used for opening and closing positions

order at opposite price: if you choose to order at opposite price, you can only enter the order quantity, not the order price. The system will read the latest competitor price at the moment of receiving the entrustment (if the user buys, the competitor price is the selling price of 1); If it is a sell, then the counter price is buy 1 price). Issue a price limit order for this counter price

4. Position

the user owns the position after opening and trading, and the positions in the same direction of the same contract will be merged. In a contract account, there can only be 6 positions at most, that is, multiple positions of current week contract, short positions of current week contract, multiple positions of next week contract, short positions of next week contract, multiple positions of quarterly contract and short positions of quarterly contract

5. Order restriction

the platform will restrict the number of single user's positions in a certain period of contract and the number of single open / close positions, so as to prevent users from manipulating the market

when the number of positions or entrustments of users is too large, the platform has the right to require users to take risk control measures, including but not limited to cancellation of orders, closing positions, etc. The platform has the right to adopt measures including but not limited to limiting the total number of positions, limiting the total number of consignments, limiting the opening of positions, withdrawing orders, forcibly closing positions, etc. for risk control

5. Buy more to build a position refers to multi position, can also be called bullish, buy a currency, bullish
short selling to build a position refers to selling a position, which can also be called short interest, selling a certain currency and being bearish. Some people call it long or short. Short selling mechanism is to borrow other people's shares to sell in advance when the market is going to fall at a high level, and then buy them back at a low level and return them to the borrower to close the position to make a profit. It is the reverse operation of the current buying stock to make a profit by rising. Because it makes a profit by falling, it will attract a large number of funds to short in the bear market.

6. It's time for 32-bit system to switch to 64 bit system, so the problem of software compatibility is serious. It's better to choose procts of the same era to match each other to prevent compatibility problems.
