What is digital currency and what is its use

1.

digital currency is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency (which can be used for real goods and services transactions)

digital currency has the main characteristics of network packets. This kind of data packet is composed of data code and identification code. The data code is the content we need to transmit, while the identification code indicates where the data packet comes from and goes

based on the characteristics of digital currency, the direct benefit of digital currency to the central bank is not only to save the cost of note issuance, circulation and settlement, but also to enhance the central bank's ability to control funds

Electronic money and virtual money are called digital money. According to the definition of the European Central Bank, virtual money is issued by non central banks, credit institutions and e-money institutions, which can be used as the numerical expression of the value of currency substitutes in some cases

extended information:

the process of digital currency trading through the platform is as follows:

(1) investors should register accounts first, and obtain digital currency accounts and US dollar or other foreign exchange accounts at the same time

(2) users can buy and sell digital currency with the money in their cash account, just like buying and selling stocks and futures

(3) the trading platform will sort the buying requests and selling requests according to the rules and start to match them. If they meet the requirements, the transaction will be concluded

(4) e to the difference between the buy and sell volumes submitted by users, a buy or sell request may be partially executed

2. In short, virtual currency, also known as cryptocurrency, is issued and circulated on the Internet and mainly traded through exchanges. Because it runs on the blockchain, every transaction on the chain is semi anonymous and tamperable, so it ensures the circulation and a certain degree of security. Mainstream digital currencies include bitcoin, Ethereum and Leyte. Digital currency is inseparable from blockchain technology. The core idea of the latter is to ensure that all nodes have a consensus on a transaction through transaction broadcast and irrelevant node confirmation. Once the consensus is formed, transaction confirmation, block excavation and reward will follow. This reward is digital currency. If digital currency wants to have value, it can't do without people's recognition of its value. The more recognition, the more people want to have it, and the exchange came into being. If it's Xiao, it's not recommended to go to big exchanges (currency security, currency, OK) to play contract leverage. You can go to small exchanges to practice, such as currency easy, etc. You can also learn about the coin circle information. The development of the whole coin circle changes every day, very fast
there is no price limit for P.S. digital currency trading, so investment should be cautious!

3. Recently, a recruitment information from the central bank revealed that the life of banknotes may have entered the countdown. Last Friday, the people's Bank of China's official website released the 2017 annual personnel recruitment plan of the printing Science Research Institute, a unit directly under the people's Bank of China, which shows that it plans to recruit six professionals with master's or doctor's degrees to carry out the research and development of digital currency, which makes the digital currency once again become the hot spot of public opinion<

Yao Qian, head of the preparatory group of the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China, said a few days ago 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. The prototype system of legal digital currency is being developed. As for when the legal digital currency of the people's Bank of China can be launched, there is no timetable

from the start of digital currency research two years ago, to the digital currency seminar held by the central bank in January this year, to the establishment of the digital currency Research Institute and the recruitment of professionals by the central bank in the near future, digital currency is graally approaching.

The role of digital currency:

1. First of all, the central bank's digital currency can provide a huge data base for monetary policy and macro Prudential policy, so that the regulatory authorities can collect real-time trading books of different frequency and different institutions according to their needs, and it is complete and real. This information advantage can help the central bank use policy tools more accurately and flexibly

Secondly, the central bank's digital currency technology can track the flow of funds and help the regulatory authorities to comprehensively monitor and assess financial risks. Finally, the central bank's digital money technology is concive to the transmission of interest rate of monetary policy. Digital currency technology supports "point-to-point" payment and settlement, which can improve the liquidity of market participants. Only the digital currency of the central bank, which is generally accepted by the whole society, can radiate this advantage to the participants of different financial markets, so as to improve the liquidity of financial markets. This will make the term structure of interest rate smoother and the transmission mechanism of interest rate smoother

extended data:

digital currency can be considered as a virtual currency based on node network and digital encryption algorithm. The core characteristics of digital currency are mainly reflected in three aspects: because it comes from some open algorithms, digital currency has no issuing subject, so no one or institution can control its issuing; Because the number of algorithm solutions is fixed, the total amount of digital currency is fixed, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of inflation caused by the overuse of virtual currency; Because the transaction process needs the approval of each node in the network, the transaction process of digital currency is safe enough
