Total payment of digital currency

1. Alipay and so on are only electronic payment methods. The money used in the transaction is coming through bank accounts, that is, the money in Alipay actually corresponds to a banknote, and the digital money is money. In the actual use experience, digital money and electronic payment may feel similar, but they are still quite different in essence
digital currency is also different from virtual currency. For example, the well-known Q coin and the money recharged in various games are virtual currency. These virtual currencies can only be purchased with real currency, but cannot be converted into real currency
in the world, bitcoin is probably the most famous digital currency. In addition, there are "Wright coin", "Dog Coin" and "Yuan Bao coin" in China.

2. Digital currency generally refers to bitcoin, Puyin, Leyte, dogcoin and other encrypted digital currencies
the three party payment tools such as digital currency and Alipay and WeChat payment are different. The payment of Alipay and WeChat is a well-known third party payment tool in China. Digital money is also possible in theory, but the market share of digital money in the field of payment is still very low.

ways to purchase digital currency:

at present, digital currency is more like an investment proct. Due to the lack of a strong guarantee institution to maintain its price stability, its role as a measure of value has not yet appeared, nor can it be used as a means of payment. As an investment proct, the development of digital currency is inseparable from trading platforms, operating companies and investors

trading platforms play the role of trading agents, while some play the role of market makers. The profits of these trading platforms come from the current expenses and premium income of investors trading or holding digital currency

1. Investors need to register accounts first, and obtain digital currency accounts and US dollar or other foreign exchange accounts at the same time

2. Users can use the money in their cash account to buy and sell digital currency, just like buying and selling stocks and futures

3. The trading platform will sort the buying and selling requests according to the rules and start matching. If the requirements are met, the transaction will be completed

4. Due to the difference between the trading volume submitted by users, the trading request can be partially executed

take RBM operated by professional operation company opencoin as an example: ripple protocol was originally designed based on payment method, and its design idea was based on acquaintance relationship network and trust chain. Using ripple network for remittance or loan, the premise is that the payee and the payer must be friends or have common friends. Otherwise, the trust chain between users and other users cannot be established, and the transmission cannot be carried out

extended information:

the characteristics of digital currency are as follows:

1, low transaction cost

compared with traditional bank transfer, remittance and other methods, digital currency transaction does not need to pay fees to the third party, and its transaction cost is lower, especially compared with the cross-border payment of high handling charges to payment service providers

2, fast transaction speed

the blockchain technology used in digital currency has the characteristics of decentralization, and it does not need any centralized organization similar to the clearing center to process data, so the transaction processing speed is faster

3, high anonymity

in addition to the physical form of currency can achieve peer-to-peer transactions without intermediary participation, one of the advantages of digital currency compared with other electronic payment methods is that it supports remote peer-to-peer payment, and it does not need any trusted third party as intermediary

both sides of the transaction can complete the transaction in a completely strange situation without mutual trust, so they have higher anonymity and can protect the privacy of the traders, but at the same time, they also create convenience for cyber crime, which is easy to be used by money laundering and other criminal activities

4. It is a virtual currency, and Alipay and WeChat will not be abolished, because it first takes the place of all the way of life communication nowadays.

5. The total amount of money in DCEP is not constant

why

let's take a look at the current definition of DCEP

Digital legal tender

in addition to being different from legal paper money in carrier, it has the same function as paper money: value scale, circulation means, payment means and value storage

this is also the function of paper money

the issuance of DCEP is based on 100% reserve and will circulate with cash currency, that is, M0 issuance

although the central bank's digital currency was slowly launched after the rise of blockchain technology, it is not pure blockchain technology, but only uses some technologies related to blockchain

we all know that the commercial application of block chain technology still faces many problems, such as concurrency, data storage and so on

a country with a large population like ours, if we use blockchain technology in a strict sense, it will not be able to carry it at present<

Wanxiang blockchain analysis:

from the information disclosed by the people's Bank of China, DC / EP does not use the real blockchain like Libra

although digital currency is not a token in the blockchain, it is similar to the token in the blockchain in the key features of non double flower, anonymity, unforgeability, security, transitivity, separability and programmability

therefore, DC / EP still belongs to token paradigm rather than account paradigm

the central bank is responsible for the maintenance of the DC / EP issuance registration subsystem, which is centralized and does not need to run consensus algorithm, so it will not be subject to the performance bottleneck of the blockchain

in DC / EP, blockchain is used to confirm the right registration of digital currency and plays an auxiliary role

each country's base currency issuance is increasing every year

therefore, the central bank's digital currency improves the bearing property of money. Paper money is naturally suitable for the atomic world, and digital currency is more suitable for the consumption scenarios in the bit world

the supply is definitely the same as that of the previous monetary system, increasing every year.

6. 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 currency and virtual currency are collectively referred to as digital currency. 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
means of payment
