practical significance
the digitalization of central bank's currency helps to optimize the central bank's monetary payment function, improve the central bank's monetary status and the effectiveness of monetary policy. The central bank's digital currency can become an interest bearing asset to meet the holder's reserve demand for safe assets, and can also become the lower limit of bank deposit interest rate
can also become a new monetary policy tool. At the same time, the central bank can affect the bank's deposit and loan interest rate by adjusting the central bank's digital currency interest rate, and help break the zero interest rate lower limit
operation system
fan Yifei, vice governor of the people's Bank of China, said in the article that the digital currency of the people's Bank of China should adopt a two-tier operation system. This model does not change the relationship between creditor's rights and debt of currency in circulation, does not change the existing money supply system and al account structure, does not constitute a competition for commercial banks' deposit currency, and does not increase commercial banks' dependence on the interbank lending market
will not affect the lending ability of commercial banks, and will not lead to the phenomenon of "financial disintermediation". At the same time, because it does not affect the existing monetary policy transmission mechanism, it will not strengthen the pro cyclical effect under the pressure environment, and it can improve the convenience and security of payment, and it also has the credit advantage of central bank endorsement
China does not issue digital currency, and all the existing digital currencies are illegal
the central bank pointed out that no legal digital currency has been issued, and no institutions and enterprises have been authorized to issue legal digital currency. At present, the so-called "digital currency" in the market is not legal digital currency
virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency, and its original issuer is not the central bank. This kind of virtual currency is mainly limited to circulation in a specific virtual environment. Digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency
"the legal currency of our country is RMB." In the risk warning, the monetary Bureau of the people's Bank of China once again stressed that RMB is uniformly printed and issued by the people's Bank of China
extended information:
with the soaring price of virtual currency represented by bitcoin, digital currency and the blockchain technology behind it have attracted great attention of the global financial community. In fact, legal digital currency has not yet been issued in China. Recently, the official website of the monetary Bureau of the people's Bank of China (PBOC) released the risk warning on issuing or promoting digital currency in the name of the people's Bank of China
in 2013, the central bank, together with five ministries and commissions, issued the notice on prevention of bitcoin risks, which clearly defined non legal digital currencies such as bitcoin as virtual commodities, which do not exist in the form of currency and legal currency
At the same time, digital money is different from electronic payment. In the actual use experience, digital money and electronic payment may feel similar, but they are still quite different in essence. Before digital currency, the financial instry has been highly informationizedsuch as Internet banking, WeChat, Alipay and other payment electronic popularization graally, physical cash accounts for only a very small part of all circulating currencies. In spite of this, because the money used in the transaction comes from the bank account, it actually corresponds to the banknotes
currently, digital currency in the market involves multi-level marketing
digital currency is a new technology that can improve the efficiency of transaction, but it is targeted by lawless elements to carry out pyramid selling and fraud in its name
the official website of the monetary Bureau of the people's Bank of China issued the risk warning on issuing or promoting digital currency in the name of the people's Bank of China. The central bank pointed out that recently, indivial enterprises falsely used the name of our bank to label relevant digital procts as "authorized issuance by the people's Bank of China", or falsely claimed that the digital currency promotion team of the central bank issued, in an attempt to deceive the public and take the opportunity to make huge profits
in the risk warning, the central bank stressed that the 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
at the same time, 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. The general public should raise their risk awareness, invest rationally and prudently, and prevent the interests from being damaged
digital currency has the main characteristics of network packet. 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 money, the direct benefit of digital money to the central bank is not only to save the cost of paper money issuance, circulation and settlement, but also to enhance the central bank's ability to control funds.
Generally, the excellent digital currencies are mostly imported procts, such as bitcoin, Leyte coin, ether coin and so on. However, the domestic Yuanbao coin, Ruitai coin, bitcoin and the tokens of different crowdfunding projects of European crowdfunding are excellent digital currencies
digital currency (English: digital currency) is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. At present, no central bank of any government has indicated that it will issue digital currency, and digital currency does not have to have a benchmark currency and a central bank
it 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 currency, such as bitcoin, lightcoin and ppcoin, is an electronic currency created, issued and circulated by check sum cryptography
by digital currency, the central bank means digital currency.
the first country to recognize bitcoin as legal was Germany, which first defined bitcoin as an alternative currency. Of course, in the future, sovereign digital currencies may be popular, and digital cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, Ruitai coin, Laite coin and vitality coin will become a supplement.
Jensen said, "after two years of stupid spending and bad decision-making, the bitcoin foundation has in fact gone bankrupt. The foundation even ran out of funds in November last year."
it is reported that the board of directors has tried to reverse this situation by looking for a new executive director, and Patrick Murck, the new executive director of bitcoin foundation, also believes that the only way out of this dilemma is for the foundation to only use the funds for those core development projects
however, according to Jensen, "the foundation has almost no funds at present, and 90% of its employees have been laid off, and only some of them remain as volunteers."
however, two other members of the organization also said that the bitcoin foundation is not bankrupt, it just needs to be restructured. Founded in 2012 in the United States, the bitcoin foundation is a non-profit organization. The organization has always said that it does not fully represent bitcoin, but is only an organization set up to promote the global development of bitcoin
Jensen also said: "the bitcoin foundation hates transparency. Jim Harper had planned to hold a press conference after the election, but was forced to cancel because the foundation was never open to the outside world. As a result, some smart people no longer trust the special currency foundation, so the foundation can't raise enough money. "
it should be noted that Jensen and Jim Harper are the two new board members newly elected last month. This election was voted by bitcoin Foundation's annual and lifetime members. 89% of the members participated in the pre election and 74% in the general election. In the results of the general election, Jensen won 277 votes, accounting for 63%, ranking first. This was followed by Harper's 264 votes, 60%. After being elected, both of them expressed the hope that the bitcoin foundation could carry out key research and development, fully realize the transparency of the organization, and finally make all stores and people in the world accept bitcoin. On March 15 this year, the two of them officially began their two-year term of office.
the report mentioned that as a new thing, digital currency has no precedent for regulatory measures, and put forward three suggestions: 1. Strengthen the relevant legal construction, and clarify the nature of digital currency from the legislative level. 2. Give full play to the role of G20 in global policy coordination, explore the construction of a global unified regulatory framework for digital currency, urge countries to share the transaction information of digital currency, and constantly standardize the development of digital currency. We will work together to crack down on crimes committed with digital currency. 3. Actively participate in the global governance of digital currency
Many people think that bitcoin is the first digital cryptocurrency in the world, but it is not
In 1982, cryptographer and computer scientist David Chaum proposed a creative scheme blind signature: on a piece of paper, I choose a serial number that only you know, and then I sign it. Because I don't know the serial number, I can't it to another person. This idea forms the first real e-money scheme, which makes anonymous transaction possible
at present, China is experimenting with digital currency, which is legal currency with national credit as guarantee, just like paper money. In the environment of legal digital currency, it will be possible for the economic system to decide the money supply spontaneously and endogenously, issue and recover money automatically through preset and reliable program algorithm rules and on the premise of ensuring the stability of currency value. The role of the central bank may not only be the decision maker of money circulation, but also the designer of the rules of money circulation algorithm
in fact, digital currency is just a form of electronic payment to replace traditional paper money, and the specific application scenario is mobile wallet payment. Digital money is not a virtual currency that can be generated by underground mining and easy to form investment bubbles. Investment in bitcoin and other virtual currencies and electronic money is a Ponzi scheme in a strict sense. The ordinary people need to be careful to avoid leeks. p>
